Watamu Resorts line the beach road and are the usual base for marine-park boats, Safari Blue and a dolphin dhow.
The resort is not the tour. A six-hour sea day still starts with a pickup, and a creek kayak is a short drive inland even if the pool is on the sand. Tell the operator the resort name and which gate to use. Children do better when the guide can shorten water time. Say the ages.
Packages that match Watamu Resorts: 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.
