The experience
Explore the coast beyond the beach with snorkelling or diving excursions in Malindi. Marine activities are optional additions to selected bush-and-beach itineraries and can add time on the water to a coastal stay.
A coast stay can include more than beach time. A planned marine outing takes you onto the water, with opportunities to look below the surface and see the coast as a living environment rather than simply the end of a safari route.
JohnBow's existing Malindi and Watamu material includes marine-park snorkelling and glass-bottom-boat outings. Some longer safari-and-beach itineraries list snorkelling or diving as optional extras, so the activity and its inclusion need to be checked separately.
What to expect
Choose the particular outing before you compare prices: a glass-bottom boat, snorkelling and a diving programme are different activities.
Ask the operator about equipment, briefing, supervision and suitability for everyone travelling. Tell us whether you are looking for a first experience or have previous experience.
Keep the beach stay long enough to fit the outing around local conditions and the wider holiday, rather than assuming it can happen immediately after a transfer.
Who it suits
- Travellers choosing an activity around their actual destination and route
- Guests who want time for a specific interest alongside the wider safari

Sea conditions and the operator's programme govern the final outing. Confirm the arrangements for your dates and ask what happens if conditions require a change. Wildlife encounters on marine excursions cannot be guaranteed.
