TamarindDhowCruise

Dinner on a Traditional Wooden Boat Sail around Mombasa’s old town while enjoying a four-course meal of fine cuisine. Take a scenic drive to the North Coast, where you will board a dhow , an authentic Arabic sailing vessel. Once used to trade cargo along Kenya’s coast, this seaworthy ship has been refurbished for a pleasurable dining experience. Upon arrival, you will be guided to your onboard table and served a signature cocktail of vodka, honey and lime, commonly known as dawa . As your boat sets sail around the mangrove-lined shores of Tudor Creek, you will see Mombasa’s historic old town, including Fort Jesus, built by the Portuguese during the 16th-century and now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Take in the twinkling lights of Mombasa from the water as you enjoy dinner underneath the stars. After dinner, cruise back to your awaiting ship. * Easy - Walking portions are generally over easy surfaces with few steps or inclines.
