If you are looking for sun, sand and a shot of adrenaline then Diani is where you need to be. Raise your heart rate by selecting from a wide range of fun activities that include sky diving, kite surfing, jet skiing and banana boating or slow things down by snorkeling in one of many marine parks that sit in the heart of the warm, blue Indian ocean, or take it even easier by immersing yourself into the local Swahili culture that is a blend of Indian, African, Arabian and Portuguese influences.
A walk down the beach in Diani gives you a range of local bars and restaurants to choose from and of course the opportunity to interact with the eclectic local community. One can even dig deeper into the history and culture by visiting Fort Jesus, the Shimoni Slave Caves, the Mombasa spice markets or Wasini; an island lost in time. To get to Wasini, one must wade through the waters to board an ancient fishing dhow and sail out into the Indian Ocean with dolphins and the occasional blue whale as your escorts.
