Overview
Funzi Island, located 35km south of Diani Beach, is known for its pristine beaches and as Kenya’s best nesting site for a variety of sea turtles, such as green turtles.
Popular excursions for visitors in Funzi are the crocodile safari in the nearby Ramisi River or going on a cultural tour in the village and enjoy a traditionally cooked lunch.
The best swimming experience in the area will undoubtedly be on the naturally formed sandbank just offshore from Funzi village. Its fine sand ripples appear only during low tide and it stretches well over a kilometer in length.
