Dhow Trips
The Mida Creek reserve is formed of extensive mangrove forests, warm shallow waters and large areas of mud flats at low tide. Sandy islands separated by narrow channels winding through mangrove-covered islands form the edges of this large inter-tidal creek. The area is known for its amazing bird life, such as greater flamingo, yellow-billed stork, great white egret and malachite kingfisher; it is also the winter home of many migrants such as the crab plover, curlew Sandpiper, whimbrel and sanderling. The osprey and African fish eagle are often overhead.
Our beautiful, traditional Arabic dhow sets sail in this stunning area. The boat is made completely out of wood and offers both an upper and lower deck on which to relax while our staff serve you cocktails and delicious snacks. Mida is one of the few places in Kenya where you are able to watch the sunset over water and the sunset cruises offer spectacular views.
Another option is a beach Bar-B-Q dhow trip. Here we take you sailing in the morning before mooring up on a lovely sandy island for a full Bar-B-Q lunch with lobster, prawns, steaks and all the trimmings. What better way to relax in the sun!
