What to Expect

THE WATAMU LIGHTHOUSE (LICHTHAUS)

Visit the iconic Watamu Lighthouse - known locally as "Lichthaus" from the German word used by early European settlers. Perched on a rocky headland overlooking the Indian Ocean, the lighthouse offers breathtaking panoramic views of the coastline, the marine national park below, and - on clear mornings - all the way to the Arabuko-Sokoke forest canopy inland.

COASTAL WALK & BIRDWATCHING

Walk the rocky coastal path below the lighthouse where rock hyraxes sun themselves on the boulders and over 40 species of coastal birds can be spotted - from pied kingfishers and fish eagles to the rare Roseate Tern. Nashon, a keen naturalist, knows every bird call and will help you identify species. The tide pools below are teeming with crabs, sea anemones, and small reef fish.

AUTHENTIC WATAMU EXPERIENCE

This half-day tour finishes with a walk through the authentic heart of Watamu village - past the fish landing jetty, the morning market, local tea houses, and the colourful fishing boats. This is the real Kenya that most tourists never see - and Nashon, born and raised here, is the perfect guide to experience it.
