Islands in Watamu are reached by boat. Robinson Island sits in the Malindi day, with a quieter beach and sometimes lunch at Ngomeni. The marine park has its own sandbars, including stops sold with Safari Blue.
You do not drive onto them. Sudi Island is the mangrove canoe inside a longer reef day, about $157 with lunch. Isola dell'Amore is a landing, not a hotel island. Ask which island the rate includes, because the names get swapped in casual speech.
Packages that match Islands in Watamu: Day Trip — Tsavo East National Park, Full-Day Safari Blue with Snorkelling and Dolphins, Malindi, Robinson Island and Marafa Hell's Kitchen. Ask which park or marine fees sit outside the starting price.
A full day from the north coast into Tsavo East, the dry park tied to the man-eaters of Tsavo. Plan on eleven to twelve hours, with elephants more reliable than any cat.
