The beautiful and sun kissed Kisite Marine Park was established to protect the scenic islands and special habitats of a wide range of widespread marine animals and breeding migratory birds. The park lies in the coral gardens south of Wasini Island and encompasses three small coral rag forest islands, each with considerable areas of fringing reef. Kisite Mpunguti is a great location for snorkelling, bird watching, diving and sunbathing. The marine life in the park comprises of about 250 recorded fish species, 70 resident dolphins, sea turtles, whales, 56 genera of corals, sea grass and gastropods. Many seabirds in large nesting colonies and internationally significant numbers of roseate terns and crab-plover. The Park is open all year round. Snorkelling is good throughout the year but the sea gets rough between April and July during South East monsoon winds.
