Fishing & water · Half day
Dhow Sailing (Scenic)
A half day under sail, tracing the Tsunza-Mwache creek the way the coast has moved for centuries. This is the gentle, scenic side of the peninsula, with mangroves sliding past, birds overhead and the water doing the work. There is time to plant a mangrove and to understand why sailing still matters here, all in a small, unhurried group.
