About Watamu Dolphin Watching
Watamu Marine National Park, established in 1979, is Kenya's first and most successful marine protected area. The park is home to a population of spinner dolphins that are famous for their acrobatic breaches and spins, earning them the nickname "the anglers of the sea" due to their fishing behavior.
Watching these intelligent mammals in their natural environment is a truly unforgettable experience. The dolphins are most active in the early morning hours when sea conditions are calm. The marine park also protects coral reefs, sea turtles, and diverse fish species, making it a perfect spot for combined snorkeling and dolphin watching activities.
