Mombasa Dhow Dinner Cruise

An evening on the old creek under a lateen sail

  • Day trip

A restored Arab dhow sails the Tudor creek at sunset with dinner aboard — seafood, a Swahili band and an acrobat troupe, and the lights of the old harbour going by. Straightforward, and a good last night on the coast.

Trip highlights

  • Sunset sail on a traditional lateen-rigged dhow
  • Four-course seafood dinner served on board
  • Live taarab and Swahili music, and an acrobatic show
  • A short guided walk through Fort Jesus before boarding
