Dhow experiences in Lamu

Sail a traditional dhow with a local captain.

Sunrise Sunset Whole day
A Kasa seen from above: pointed at both ends like a turtle shell, with cushions for guests
Kasa up to 6

Smaller and wider, pointed at both ends like a turtle shell. Cushions all round — cosy for a small group.

A Jahazi from the side: a long dhow with a big sail and a raised wooden deck at the back
Jahazi up to 20

The large traditional dhow. Long, with a raised wooden deck at the back to climb up for the view.
