Tamarind Dhow Cruise.
The evening cruise is the most renown of all the coastal trips. An enchanting evening of exotic seafood blended with a romantic cruise aboard an authentic Arab Dhow around the old port of Mombasa Town.
The dhow, Nawalilkher, was built in 1977 for trading.
At 23 meters, she is the largest dhow on the coast. Purchased in 1986, she was converted for restaurant use by her original builder Fundi Bini on Lamu Island, under the watchful eye of Mohammed Shalle, who is still her captain today.

Your evening begins once you are picked up from your hotel and driven to the pier. As soon as you step off the gangplank, you are met by a traditionally-dressed waiter who shows you to your table, and serves you with a house cocktail made with vodka, lime, honey, sugar and crushed ice.
Non-alcoholic drinkers are offered soft drinks or fruit juices. Once the dhow departs from the jetty, the live band starts playing beautiful rhythms, and soon the swing has majority of guests dancing on the main deck.

After a cruise round Tudor Creek with fine view of Mombasa's Old Town and Fort Jesus, your dhow moors in a sheltered bay at the head of the creek.
Here the fine aroma of grilled lobster and steak starts to fill the air as the chefs pull out the charcoal grills and prepare a four-course gourmet meal.

As your meal draws to a close, the waiters serve aromatic Arabica coffee from a traditional Arab brass pot --the Kahawa Pot.
The evening trip on the dhow is an excellent romantic spot for newly weds, and those wishing to propose.

Pemba Island Diving.
Pemba Island is located off the Tanzanian coast, and is adjacent to the Island of Zanzibar. The guests are accommodated at Manta Lodge. Not only is this Island known for its awesome dive sites but also its peaceful location. 
Pemba waters give divers and snorkels an incredible experience because all locations have generous amounts of multi-colored fishes and corals displayed.

The Pemba channel runs deep until it approaches the coastline, and then begins a dramatic assent to create sheer walls off the coast.
The western side of the island is the leeside, where visibility remains between 100 - 200 feet.
The walls and drop off, which are directly off the coastline, drop between 150 - 600 feet, all which make Pemba an excellent diving opportunity.
Commonly found marine lives are: - Napolean wrasse, pelagic fish, famous Manta rays, turtles and sharks.
