Snorkeling at Watamu Marine Park
The excursion takes you directly to the designated snorkeling zones within the protected marine reserve. Most morning trips anchor at the Coral Gardens or Turtle Bay Reef, depending on the daily tidal shifts. These specific reef formations offer high visibility and shallow waters, making them suitable for both beginners and experienced swimmers.
Your captain takes the boat out from the main KWS ticketing gate. Most hotels and holiday homes in Watamu are a short tuk-tuk ride from the departure point. Your boat assignment depends on your group size and the day's bookings, and every boat carries the required safety equipment and life jackets. The Coral Gardens snorkelling guide covers the reef, the tides and what you see in the water.
Mandatory KWS Park Entry Fees
Your online payment covers the snorkeling trip and the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) conservation fee, so there is nothing extra to pay at the beach gate. For information, the 2026 KWS adult rates are KES 500 for East Africa citizens, KES 675 for Kenya residents, USD 25 for non-residents and USD 15 for Africa citizens, and they are already in your price.
