Breakfast with ocean views: Breakfast is enjoyed with scenic views of the ocean.

Guided tour of Lamu Town: Guided tour of Lamu Town featuring UNESCO-listed alleyways, Swahili architecture, local dhow yards, and artisan shops, with a guide bringing the history to life through stories of dhow building and Swahili poetry.

After breakfast, set out with your private guide to explore Lamu Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the oldest living Swahili settlements in East Africa. Wander through narrow coral-stone alleys lined with intricately carved wooden doors and listen to stories of traders, sailors, and poets who shaped this island centuries ago.

Midday brings a treat — lunch at the famous Floating Restaurant, a gently bobbing wooden platform set right on the channel. Savor freshly caught seafood and tropical juices as dhows drift past.

Later, visit Shela Village, known for its charming boutiques and powder-soft beaches. There’s time to browse handmade crafts or simply walk barefoot along the dunes as the tide rolls in.

As evening arrives, step aboard a private sunset dhow cruise. With golden light spilling across the water and the gentle flap of the sail above, it’s the perfect moment to pause, sip a drink, and simply be. 

Dinner tonight is at one of Lamu’s refined coastal restaurants — we can recommend some options that fits your mood, whether you’re after quiet elegance or lively conversation.

Wake to the sound of waves and enjoy a light breakfast before heading out for a day of snorkeling at Lamu’s nearby reefs. The crystal-clear waters teem with colorful fish and coral gardens — a peaceful reminder of how untouched this coastline remains.

Lunch is served beachside or onboard, prepared by your crew — simple, fresh, and delicious.

Later, make your way to The Majlis Resort on Manda Island, a haven of understated luxury and relaxed sophistication. Spend your afternoon swimming in the turquoise pool, lounging with a cocktail in hand, and watching the sunset melt into the horizon. Dinner here is elegant yet effortless — think candlelit tables, fresh seafood, and gentle ocean breezes.

Return to your villa in Lamu under a starlit sky — the kind of night that stays with you long after the journey ends.

Enjoy a leisurely breakfast overlooking the water, a final stroll along the beach, or perhaps one last dip in the pool. When it’s time to go, your private boat transfer will take you back to Manda Airport for your onward flight — but you’ll leave with something far more lasting than memories: a piece of Lamu’s soul.
