Robinson island

The Robinson Island Excursion  is a journey to a tropical paradise located about 40 km north of Malindi. This is one of the rare places in Kenya that offers the opportunity to immerse yourself in uncontaminated nature and enjoy a lunch based on Robinson’s characteristic red crab, for a day entirely dedicated to relaxation.

EXCURSION TO ROBINSON ISLAND: A TROPICAL PARADISE

PLAN

The day begins with departure directly from your accommodations at 9.30 am. You will cross Malindi and continue in the direction of Che Shale, also known as “Golden Sand” for its golden shore. Here you can make a short stop to explore one of the most beautiful beaches on the coast. Subsequently, you will continue towards Ngomeni, where there is a salt factory, a vast expanse of salt pans inhabited by shrimps and pink flamingos, which you can admire along the way.

You will continue in the direction of Robinson Island, crossing a dirt road that runs alongside the Gongini salt lake, a place frequented by various species of birds including herons, egrets and flamingos.

Once you arrive near a lagoon, you will find “Caronte” with his canoe, ready to ferry you towards the wonderful landscape of the island. Sometimes, due to low tide, you can reach the island on foot through the mangrove lagoon.

Once on Robinson Island, you can relax on the beach or take a walk to the fishing village while waiting for lunch.

Lunch will be served in a charming typical African restaurant, with a makuti roof, logs, mangrove roots, reeds and sand floor. The menu includes rice with octopus sauce, giant red crabs typical of Robinson Island, local clams and oysters au gratin with coconut, grilled fish, tropical fruit and traditional Arabic coffee.

After lunch, you can relax on sofas and hammocks until around 3.00 pm, when you will leave the island. The return is expected around 4.30pm.

  This excursion is a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the beauty of Kenya’s uncontaminated nature and savor the pleasures of local cuisine.
