The engine hums low as the coastline slides past — white sand shrinking into green mangrove fringes until the boat eases into the clear blue around Wasini and Kisite-Mpunguti. Dolphins often shape the morning, cutting arcs in the bow wake and daring you to keep pace; beneath the surface, coral gardens host wrasses and parrotfish that flick color with every current.
