Highly recommend T4P for any activities you may be planning - We did two activities with T4P and both were lots of fun. The beaded bracelet workshop was very insightful and gave us a new appreciation for the work that goes into making the bracelets. We had a lot of fun together and learnt a lot. The Kongo river sunset dhow cruise was very relaxing and also educational as we got to learn about the different types of mangroves, birds, trees and much more as we enjoyed the views and the sunset. Highly recommend T4P for any activities you may be planning.

Sunsets, birds and a beautiful river tour - Omari was so kind and deeply knowledgeable of the bird species and local history. We really enjoyed our time with him, and both the birds and the sunset on the river were just beautiful. We highly recommend Omari and will always remember our visit.

Amazing sunset and friendly guide - The trip was amazing. Omar is a funny and very friendly person. The river is really beautiful and the sunset was absolutely amazing. Throughout the whole trip I felt safe and taken care of and Omar was acting as my personal photographer to ensure that I have lots of memories from the trip. 😉 I definitely recommend this trip to enjoy the nature of the Diani beach area and share an interesting chat with a local.

Discover EstuaryBeach Lounge for sunset canoe and dinner - Beautiful excursion but the 28€ for this experience we believe is way too much for only the river cruise. When we arrived we discovered this beautiful restaurant Estuary Beach Lounge located right on the river. There we found the same exact Sunset river excursion for 5000ksh (Kenyan Shillings) including a full dinner with main course and drinks. We stayed for dinner that night and the food was amazing. Very recommended to book through Estuary. Easy to find on Google and very honest. Their phone number is +254748325156
