Wasini Island, the final gem in the coastal necklace that stretches south of Mombasa, is a tropical paradise located approximately 76km south of the Likoni ferry crossing. With its charming faded white alleyways, the ambiance of a Swahili fishing village, and the shade of lush, mottled trees, this petite island (measuring just 5km in length) invokes the spirit of distant Lamu and Zanzibar. It’s the perfect escape for backpackers, offering that laid-back ‘sit-under-a-mango-tree-and-do-nothing-all-day’ vibe. Along its coastline, you’ll discover pockets of pristine white sand, and nearby lies the Kisite Marine National Park, home to the coast’s most spectacular snorkeling reef.
Wasini Island offers all the elements for an ideal beachside retreat, with one notable exception: the conveniences you might find elsewhere, such as consistent electricity, banana-pancake cafes for travelers, backpacker hostels, and cars, are blissfully absent. It’s precisely this absence that enhances its charm.
Uncover the Natural Wonders of Wasini Island: Dive into the captivating world of the ‘Coral Garden.’ This tour is a testament to the island’s dedication to community conservation, generously supported by the Kenyan Government and the European Union. Explore the mesmerizing fossilized coral structures, some rising as high as 3 meters, scattered within a serene creek bordered by sea purslane and flourishing mangroves. Delight in mouthwatering Swahili-style cuisine, all while keeping an eye out for playful dolphins in this paradise.
