Itinerary

1. Day 1 — Nairobi to Diani

   Your coastal escape begins with a morning transfer to the Nairobi SGR Terminus for a smooth, scenic 4.5-hour train ride to Mombasa. On arrival, your driver will be waiting to whisk you off to your beachfront hotel in Diani. Once checked in, ease into island time — settle by the pool, breathe in the ocean air, and let the resort’s amenities set the tone. Round off the day with dinner and a restful first night by the sea.

2. Day 2 — Full Day of Beach Bliss

   Wake up to the sound of the waves and a breakfast with a view. Today is yours to enjoy exactly as you please — laze by the pool, wade into the warm waters of the Indian Ocean, or take a slow walk along the soft white sand. Feeling active? Jet skiing, paddleboarding, and snorkeling are all on offer nearby (at an extra cost). Wind down with a relaxed dinner back at the resort as the sun sets over the coast.

3. Day 3 — Wasini Island & Kisite Marine Park

   After breakfast, set out on one of the package’s highlight days: a full excursion to Wasini Island and Kisite Marine Park. Watch for dolphins in the open water, snorkel among coral gardens, and ride a glass-bottom boat for a clear look at the marine life beneath the surface. A fresh seafood lunch rounds out the experience before you return to Diani. Enjoy a quieter late afternoon — perhaps browsing local art and crafts — then dinner and a peaceful evening back at your resort.

4. Day 4 — Beach Time & Sunset Dhow Cruise

   Ease into a slow morning with breakfast, then spend the day as you please — stretch out on the beach, book a spa treatment, or pick up a few souvenirs. As evening approaches, enjoy another signature moment of the trip: a sunset dhow cruise along the coastline, complete with drinks and snacks as the sky turns gold over the Indian Ocean. Cap the night with a memorable final dinner in Diani before your journey home.

5. Day 5 — Diani to Nairobi

   Savour a last breakfast with ocean views before checking out. You’ll be transferred to Mombasa Terminus for your afternoon SGR train back to Nairobi, arriving in the evening refreshed, recharged, and already planning your next coastal escape.
