Malindi Marine National Park & Reserve

This is located about 5 km from Malindi town, and it is advisable to call the local warden to find out the time of low tide the day you plan to go as that affects one’s experience, although the recommended time of day is in the morning as it guarantees one to have a heightened experience. When entering the marine park, you must get rid of all plastic bottles as they are prohibited on the site and will need to be disposed of before entering the premises. When you enter the park you can park your vehicle at the location, change at the bathrooms and toilets within the area, then thereafter you can negotiate with the local boat captains to take you on your preferred journey, and the options can be spending two hours on the ocean both snorkeling and swimming by the coral formation, where you get this amazing opportunity to see a range of fish from red snapper, butterflyfish to the colorful parrotfish to also seeing sea cucumber, anemone and other species inhabiting the coral garden. Then after the snorkeling experience, the captain will then take you across to a makeshift island that appears when the tide is low for you to relax and swim.
