Diani Beach
One of the top 10 beaches in the world
Located 30km south of Kenya's Mombasa, Diani Beach is everything that springs to mind when you think of a tropical paradise; breathtaking white sandy beaches and crystal clear waters.
It's not hard to see why this beautiful tropical beach retreat is by far the best known and most established of Kenya’s coastal holiday locations.
Things to do at Kenya's Diani Beach
Diving at Diani Beach: All along Diani Beach, marine parks have been formed; these regions of protected seas preserve the environment and marine life. They're fantastic for diving and snorkelling and worth the trip. Kenya is one of the few places where reef shark sightings are common. While diving beneath the surface, one can observe the endangered Green and Hawksbill turtles that live in these waters.
Water sports at Diani Beach: You may go kayaking, jet skiing, windsurfing, kitesurfing, paddle-boarding, and scuba diving; regardless of your speed or ability level, Diani has something to offer.
Skydiving at Diani Beach: Skydiving down to the beach has grown popular among visitors who want to take in the vista from a 12,000-foot perspective.
Fishing at Diani Beach: Fish availability during deep-sea fishing is influenced by the time of year, water temperature, and available bait. The optimum time to go on this trip is from September to April, when most fish are active.
Glass boat tours at Diani Beach: For those who want to stay dry but still want to enjoy the vast ecology, glass boat tours are a fantastic day out.
