Beach Hop
Tour Summary: Beach Hop
This tour is designed primarily to visit, relax and take up the scenery of the many amazing beaches and restaurants on Mombasa’s north and south coast. The tour will traverse the south coast beaches on a separate day than the north coast beaches. See itinerary below for details. This package comes with the option to add activities as described below under “Optional Activities.”
Mombasa is a coastal city in Kenya along the Indian Ocean. Well known as the white and blue city. It has one of the best beaches in Africa if not the world. The onus here is on utter relaxation and tranquillity with the best beaches in Mombasa, Kenya.
Mombasa’s beaches draw thousands of visitors each year The suburb of Nyali is home to the world-famous Tamarind Restaurant and Dhow, as well as the cement silos of English Point, show grounds of the Agricultural Society of Kenya and Mamba Village, and the historic Nyali Golf Club offers squash, tennis and an 18-hole golf course that are accessible to you when you stay at one of the north coast hotels or resorts.
Bury your toes in the soft white sand while watching soothing waves lap the Mombasa shoreline. The aquamarine water of the Indian Ocean stretches as far as the eye can see, meeting the baby blue sky on the horizon. A lovely cocktail refreshes your spirit like the breeze in the swaying palm trees. The seasides of Mombasa melt away your every concern and rejuvenate your body, soul and mind.
You will transported to and from the beaches by boat. Although we recommend 2 to 3 hours at each stop, you will be the final decision maker as to how long to stay and when to depart for the next beach.
