Watamu

Watamu

 

Known as one of the best marine parks in Kenya, Watamu Marine Park is a spectacularly diverse aquatic ecosystem with over 100 types of coral, 600 fish species and many other marine creatures, making it a favorite underworld destination amongst snorkelers and divers.

The park is part of a larger aquatic system of protected areas that includes Malindi Marine National Park, as well as the mangrove forests of Mida Creek. Less than one-quarter mile from beach shore is a superb network of coral that is teeming with some of the ocean’s most stunning beauties, such as grouper, damselfish, lionfish, octopus, parrotfish, moray, to name only a few of the marine species that you will encounter. 

Snorkeling and diving are the most popular water activities in Watamu, and your experienced dive-master takes you to distinct under life locations where you will see the highest variety of fish and other marine life darting in and out of the coral while you observe from a safe distance.
