The 5-Day Diani Adventure

5 Days · Diani Coast Adventure

From the moment you land to the moment you leave — a journey we’ve already planned, built around the same four tides that shape everything we do.

Curated Stay
Local Style
Dolphin Tour
Sunset Cruise
Meet Locals
E-Bike Ride

This is the journey most first-time guests choose — and the one we recommend.

Five days, four tides. We take you from the airport to a stay that already feels like home, help you find your style for the coast, put you on the water aboard a traditional jahazi, take you to meet the people who make this coast what it is — and finish with a surprise, courtesy of Palm & Tide, before we see you off.
