About Chale Island
Seven miles from Diani Beach on the South Coast of Mombasa is the charming island destination of Chale where pristine white sands edge the Indian Ocean that protects an abundant coral reef that is teeming with marine life, putting Chale Island at the top of many snorkelers and divers wishlists. Diving excursions can be planned for the reefs on the north or south side of the island for shallow or extended (up to 100 feet) dives using single or double tank configurations. For an extra special snorkeling and diving experience at Chale Island, plan your dive trip from November to February to see whale shark, and for those who prefer to stay dry while observing marine life, Great Lake Safaris recommends the glass bottom boat excursions.
The island itself is an exceptional place to explore the 15-acres of unhampered areas, protected Kaya – a sacred forest, hidden inland lakes and mangrove forest that covers most of the island. Taking a leisurely morning walk along its nature trails gives you a sense of peace and comfort, an excellent way to start any day! You will be able to spot Colobus monkeys and varied avi-fauna. Another relaxing aquatic activity at Chale Island is catamaran sailing, and for travelers who seek a more high-pace activity, deep sea fishing is a challenging and rewarding experience, and the deep waters around Chale Island are known for attracting some of the ocean’s most feisty billfish.
