We operate an eco-friendly camp, removing waste, not building any permanent structures and respecting the wildlife. It is because of the low impact nature of kayaking and our commitments to the environment and community that the safaris are permitted the unique opportunity to overnight in this protected marine reserve.

We’ve developed a close and beneficial relationship with both the local communities and the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS), employing local staff and guides, visiting villages and historical sites, buying produce from the local fishermen and markets and sharing a common interest in preserving and maintaining the culture and wildlife. Whilst in the Reserve a fee of US$10 per day per guest is paid. This fee goes towards conservation and community development in the region. Each kayak tour includes a visit to a local village which helps contribute to local trade and plays a key role in rewarding and encouraging good environmental practices. Guests will also learn about the local culture, foods and lifestyle and at key points along the tour will be able to visit historical landmarks and ruins.

Our expeditions offer unique eco-friendly access to the wild and remote islands of Kenya’s north coast. Kayak tours are carried out in the Kiunga Marine Reserve, a 250 square kilometer reserve with over 50 islands - a spectacular reserve where the savanna wildlife meets the tropical marine life.
