Shimoni and Wasini Island are among the best grounds for snorkeling and scuba diving in the South Coast region of Kenya.
Situated 76 km south of Likoma, near the Kenya-Tanzanian border, the village of Shimoni is renowned for the famous Shimoni Caves where wooden crates that were used to transport slaves to Arabia can be found.
Shimoni is also the launching point for Wasini Island which is located just a few minutes from the village.
Wasini Island is a small traditional fishing centre located close to Tanzania that has remained unchanged for ages. The island is popular for the Ancient Swahili ruins and the coral gardens; a landscape of exposed coral reefs. Wasini has an Arab settlement dating back to the 18th and 19th Century and it features ruins of ancient architecture.
