Kayaking & Canoeing in Watamu

Kayaking & Canoeing in Watamu, Kenya coast

Kayaking & Canoeing in Watamu is Mida Creek, not the open reef. Three shapes: a sunset canoe, a longer kayak, and a float if you would rather not paddle.

The canoe is about two hours and $22, with crabs scrambling on the mudflats and a coconut drink. The kayak is about three hours and $67, with life jackets, a guide who can name the mangrove species, and often an eight-seater pickup inside Watamu. The float is about an hour and $47. The tide picks the start. Plastic washes into the creek. Go anyway, and do not expect a pristine postcard.

Packages that match Kayaking & Canoeing in Watamu: Sunset Mangrove Canoe with Coconut Drink, Mida Creek Mangrove Kayaking, Mida Creek Safari Blue. Ask which park or marine fees sit outside the starting price.

  • Mida Creek Mangrove Kayaking: 3 hours, from $67 per adult.
  • Mida Creek Safari Blue: 6–7 hours, from $102 per adult.
