Begin your full-day trip to Funzi Island with a pickup from your hotel or meeting point in Diani. Drive to Bodo Village, a small fishing village about an hour away, where your guide will give you a short briefing about the excursion.
Board a speedboat and start your scenic ride through the Ramisi River, gliding between beautiful mangrove forests that provide a natural habitat for birds and marine life. Enjoy breathtaking views and a chance to spot local fishermen at work as you make your way toward the ocean.
Depending on the tide, the first stop is the spectacular Funzi sandbank, a white sandy paradise surrounded by clear turquoise waters, ideal for swimming, relaxing, and taking stunning photos. After spending some time at the sandbank, continue your boat ride to Funzi Island, where you’ll explore the local village and learn about the Swahili culture and traditional island lifestyle.
Enjoy a delicious Swahili seafood buffet for lunch, with freshly grilled fish, crab, coconut rice, and tropical fruits while feeling the ocean breeze. After lunch, relax by the beach, enjoy the peaceful island atmosphere, or watch a fishing demonstration with local fishermen.
Begin your return journey, cruising once again through the scenic Ramisi River back to Bodo village, where your driver will be waiting to transfer you back to Diani.
