Canoe Ride & Sunset Dinner at Crab Shack

Glide silently through the mangrove channels of Mida Creek in a traditional dugout canoe, watching as the sun casts fiery colors across the water. Along the way, you might spot wading birds, fiddler crabs, and the occasional fish jumping above the surface. The stillness of the mangroves, combined with the warm evening light, makes this one of the most tranquil sunset experiences in Watamu.

After your ride, step ashore at the famous Crab Shack Restaurant, perched above the creek on stilts. Here, you’ll enjoy a seafood feast of freshly caught crab, lobster, and prawns, prepared with authentic Swahili flavors. As you dine, the gentle sound of water beneath the deck and the cool evening breeze create the perfect end to your coastal adventure.
