Go with the Flow…

 

FLOATING – A UNIQUE Watamu Nature adventure

Selected by the Kenya Tourism Board as part of the 'Magical Kenya Signature Experience Collection -
the most unique experiences you can have in Kenya.

 

Just after full moon or new moon – during the spring tides – you have a tidal situation where water rushes out of Mida Creek and out to the sea - very quickly. You can join us for a ‘float’ – where you enter the water in a small channel in the mangroves and float with the outgoing tide.

The full trip – for which we earned a ‘Magical Kenya Signature Experience’ award - takes about 3 hours and consists of 4 parts:

  • Walk from Treehouse through the villages, surrounded by beautiful trees (cashew, mango, palm, neem) to get to the mangroves.

  • Float through the mangroves as the channels get larger and larger…through Mida Creek and onwards the ocean ... and end up on a beautiful beach.

  • A special Swahili Breakfast on the beach.

  • A nature walk back to Watamu beach.

There are other floats at different times of the day and month including the Reverse Float which goes from the sea into the creek and consists of a 1 hour float a 1 hour magical mangrove walk back to Treehouse, and the evening – or even night – float. These activities will only be offered at the correct tide and after evaluation of the level of participant’s confidence in the water.  THIS IS ONLY POSSIBLE A FEW DAYS A MONTH
