I booked a fun dive for myself and my wife for her 50th birthday and contacted Pilli Pipa from the UK. All emails were answered promptly and efficiently. I did say that on the day my wife (who has never scuba'd before) may decide against it, but this was no problem as all the gear was taken and we would... More

I went diving with Pilipippa. They were a very professional outfit with good kit that was well looked after. They gave good briefings and were pretty attentive underwater. We dived the first day in Kisite marine reserve which is shallow but has cracking fish life. The second day we went further out to a site called Secret Place. The coral... More

Our trip this year was rather spoilt by very windy conditions which was a shame because last year the snorkeling was spectacular. Both years we found the lunch pretty unappetizing and thought the package as a whole was very overpriced. More

It was well worth the money- at first you think it's a high price for a trip but the return was excellent. We were picked up at our B&B, altogether there were 4 pick ups and drove about an hour down to Shamoni. It was great to go through the villages. We were met and escorted onto the boat. We... More

Very basic set up - the access to the dhow is from a very shady pier, and the dhow itself is basic with very basic toilet facilities. I've been on more entertaining dhow trips in the Diani area, and while yes we saw dolphins, and the meal on the island at the end was very good, all in all it... More

I went with a party of four on the Dolphin Safari in March this year. It was a great day out. The crew on Monsoon were particularly focused on customer satisfaction. My wife and I are no spring chickens and beginner status at snorkellng. We were looked after very well in the water by a crew member who beckoned us... More

fantastic boat trip and snorkelling. Plenty to see and you have an experienced person with you at all times. This is suitable for non swimmers and nervous swimmers. A lunch at a resurant on an island is provided and is delicious and if you dont eat fish no problem they can either give you chickhen or a vegitarian alternative. This... More
