Setting Sail

Sailing through the Lamu Archipelago on a traditional dhow offers a truly unique way to experience the Kenyan coast. These handcrafted wooden boats, with their iconic triangular sails, provide an authentic glimpse into the centuries-old maritime traditions of the region. If time allows, you can venture as far as the pristine shores of Kiwayu, but even a shorter journey reveals secluded beaches accessible only by boat, perfect for exploration and relaxation. Along the way, you’ll learn about the fascinating history of the dhows and the vibrant coastal way of life.  

The dhows are thoughtfully fitted with essentials, including a bathroom and cozy bunk bed rooms. However, the real magic happens when beds are set up on the deck under the open sky. Sleeping beneath a canopy of stars, lulled by the gentle lapping of waves, is an unforgettable experience and a perfect way to end your day of coastal discovery.
