Dhow cruises in Lamu are a popular sunset activity in Lamu.
Dhow cruises set off just before sunset and sail around the channel between Lamu island and Manda island.
Most dhow cruises in Lamu last for an hour and a half and cost around 2400 KES for two people. Make sure to negotiate with the dhow operator before agreeing on a price; they never give you the best rate the first time.
You will probably be approached by a dhow owner before you have to look for one, but if you aren’t, you can find them on the beach in front of the Peponi Hotel in Shela or on the waterfront in Lamu Town.
