Met upon arrival at Moi International Airport Mombasa and transfer to Your Beach Resort.
Rest of the day at leisure at the Resort (you may opt for water sports activities and other animation events at the Resort – some of them at an extra cost).
Breakfast and at 1000 hrs, embark on a Mombasa City tour. The colourful island town of Mombasa with its blend of ancient and modern buildings on the Indian Ocean is Kenya principal port and the country's second's largest city. A comprehensive tour of the islands includes the Arab Old Town, with its maze of narrow twisting alleys displaying the beautiful carved doors and Arab verandas, bazaars with curio and antique shops, the Dhow Harbour (still in use), a Hindu temple, a visit to the Akamba wood carvers and a drive to the bazaar fir a short shopping expedition. The highlight of the tour is probably the visit to Fort Jesus. Built in 1593 by the Portuguese to guard the entrance to the Old Dhow Harbour, it is the Island's Landmark. Four hundred years old, the fort still stands and serves as a historical museum.
Lunch on own arrangement and in the afternoon, proceed to Wildwaters Theme Park for water-based fun, slides, sun and water-based games. Set within Kenya's tropical sunshine on the North Coast of Mombasa, Wild Waters is a Family Entertainment Park that boasts a range of fun and exhilarating activities for all ages. With 15 Adult and Kids Waterslides, a unique Rain dance Disco Arena, a Gaming Arcade, Bumper Cars, and a number of theme rides, Wild Waters is a complete entertainment facility equipped for maximizing your amusement. The Park leaves no stone untouched, with a Food Court, a Bar, and a Coffee Shop that caters for all your needs.
Drop off back at Your Beach Resort in the early evening hours.
Breakfast and at 1000 hrs, embark on a glass bottomed boat ride for a 02-hour Mombasa Marine Park tour. The depths for snorkelling are around 30 feet. The reefs are of different types; there are multi-coloured hanging reefs and large corals, which complement the soft smooth sandy bottoms. Snorkelling in shallow depths will display the coral reefs close to the surface, providing sustenance to small marine life which otherwise would be unable to survive. The Marine life at the Mombasa Marine and National Reserve is incredible. Plenty of diverse fish life can be seen by snorkels, divers, or from the "glass bottom boat". The snorkels get an awe of the brightly coloured tropical fishes like snappers, both yellow and red camouflaging with similarly coloured corals; sometimes even completing the white coral which present an unrepresented beauty well-deserving of picture taking.
Have lunch on own arrangements and at 1300 hrs, proceed to Haller Park Nature trail where you will have your packed lunch at the picnic site. Haller Park is a former quarry that has now been transformed into a variety of recreational facilities including forests / nature trails and game sanctuaries, and crocodile and fish farms.

Farewell Dinner tonight will be a romantic Cruise on the Tamarind Dhow. As soon as you step off the gangplank you are greeted by a traditionally dressed waiter who shows you to your table and serves you with a "Dawa"- the house cocktail made from vodka, lime, honey, sugar and crushed ice. As the dhow slips gently away from the jetty, the resident band starts to play and you quickly fall under the spell of the magical Tamarind atmosphere. After a cruise around Tudor Creek with fine views of Mombasa's Old Town and Fort Jesus, your dhow moors in a sheltered bay at the head of the creek. Here, the fine aroma of grilled lobster and steak start to fill the air as the chefs pull out the charcoal grills and prepare a gourmet four course meal. With attentive service to match the cuisine, your meal draws to a close as the waiters serve coffee from a traditional Arab brass coffee service. By now the band is in full swing, playing a variety of popular rhythms which soon have the majority of guests dancing on the main deck.
