Activities

Sailing
If you’d like to soak in the tranquil atmosphere of Lamu, it’s hard to beat a sunset sailing trip on a traditional dhow. This really is a most relaxing and unique experience! Just say the word and Saadi will organize any trip for you in our large comfortable dhow.
Day trips include visits to Takwa ruins, Matandoni and Kipungani, or snorkeling, fishing and beach barbeques at Manda Toto or Kinyika Rock. Overnight trips to any of the surrounding islands, such as Pate or Kiwayu, are also possible.

Swahili Dinner
We are happy to organize traditional Swahili dinners. If you’re interested, we’ll even take you into the village to the local house where ladies prepare the dinner from early morning onwards. The dinner is served in our garden, seated on pillows, eaten by hand under the light of candles, the moon and stars.

Swahili Drumming
Drums are essential in the Swahili culture, used at weddings, Koran readings, stick dances and parties. We organize an evening drumming with the local people and show you all the different drums.

Beach Barbeque
Whether you’re a small or large group, we’ll organize a fantastic beach barbeque for you - complete with bonfire, Swahili drumming and dancing on the beach!

Dhow Dinner
Another great way to spend your evening is by having dinner on the dhow. We sail away at sunset and find a quiet spot to anchor the boat, where we serve a simple but delicious dinner. Eat on the boat and gaze at the stars or the moonrise.

Deep Sea Fishing
Banana has been fishing since he was a child and has extensive knowledge of the local waters. Join him on his comfortable boat for an unforgettable experience at sea. Watch the sunrise with jumping dolphins, sea turtles and the occasional sailfish or marlin. Banana will take you fishing for game fish such as Tuna, Wahoo, Dorado, Marlin, Sailfish and Kingfish.

Yoga
We have daily yoga from 9 - 10am and from 5 - 6pm
