Summary: We became aware of this boat tour through a recommendation in our hotel. When we arrived at the meeting point, we were welcomed by the very friendly staff with a cold drink. When all the guests were on board, we started on time. The food on offer was also great. We've come to places we never would have found on our own. A fantastic experience that we can only recommend to any other guest in Mombasa.
