Trip Itinerary
Your
evening begins once you are picked up from your hotel
and driven to the pier. As soon as you step off the
gangplank, you are met by a traditionally-dressed waiter
who shows you to your table, and serves you with a house
cocktail made with vodka, lime, honey, sugar and crushed
ice.
Non-alcoholic
drinkers are offered soft drinks or fruit juices. Once
the dhow departs from the jetty, the live band starts
playing beautiful rhythms, and soon the swing has majority
of guests dancing on the main deck.
After
a cruise round Tudor Creek with fine view of Mombasa's
Old Town and Fort Jesus, your dhow moors in a sheltered
bay at the head of the creek. Here the fine aroma of
grilled lobster and steak starts to fill the air as
the chefs pull out the charcoal grills and prepare a
four-course gourmet meal.
As
your meal draws to a close, the waiters serve aromatic
Arabica coffee from a traditional Arab brass pot - the
Kahawa Pot. The evening trip on the dhow is an excellent
romantic spot for newlyweds, and those wishing to propose.
