Tour Description

The Funzi Island Tour offers a slower, more authentic coastal experience compared to fast-paced marine excursions. After hotel pickup, you’ll travel to the Funzi area, where a traditional boat takes you through the calm Ramisi River.

As you cruise through lush mangrove forests, you’ll spot birds, marine life, and crocodiles along the riverbanks. The tour continues with a guided visit to Funzi Island village, where you’ll learn about the local Swahili way of life.

You’ll enjoy a freshly prepared lunch, followed by snorkeling and relaxation before heading back to your hotel — refreshed and connected to nature.
