Mida Creek<\/strong> is a tidal inlet fringed by dense mangrove forest, calm, sheltered water, and one of the best places on the coast to watch a sunset without a crowd around you. This cruise boards a traditional wooden dhow in the late afternoon and sails slowly through the creek as the light starts to fade.<\/p>\n Cocktails and snacks are served on board, fresh seafood bites, samosas, and a cold drink in hand while you watch fishermen paddling home in dugout canoes and, if the tide and season cooperate, flamingos resting in the mangrove treetops. The creek is also a genuine birdwatching spot, home to sacred ibis, African fish eagles and migrant shorebirds, so it’s worth having a camera ready even if birdwatching isn’t usually your thing.<\/p>\n We collect you from your hotel in Watamu, and the pace of the evening is entirely relaxed, no itinerary to rush through, just a slow sail and a good sunset. It’s a strong pick for couples and honeymooners, but works just as well as an easy, low effort evening for families or groups who’ve had an active day already.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A slow sail through mangrove-lined Mida Creek as the sky turns pink and orange, cocktail in hand.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1119,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"class_list":["post-1118","excursion","type-excursion","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kliq.cc\/hotsun\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/excursion\/1118","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kliq.cc\/hotsun\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/excursion"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kliq.cc\/hotsun\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/excursion"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kliq.cc\/hotsun\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1119"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kliq.cc\/hotsun\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1118"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
