My family did the tour from Malindi to Robinson Island and Marafa Hell's Kitchen. We were picked up from our resort. We thoroughly enjoyed the ride through the various towns to get to Robinson Island. We saw how salt from the Indian Ocean is harvested, we crossed a bridge, looked down into the river below and saw hippopotamus in the river, there were several traffic jams with cattle and goats crossing the roads. The canoe ride crossing to get to Robinson Island was loads of fun because the gentleman ferrying the passengers sings African songs the entire trip there and back. The seafood lunch was very good. There is enough time spent on the island to walk down to the beach to splash in the Indian Ocean. We visited Marafa Hell's Kitchen late in the day to avoid the excessive heat of the canyon. The canyon is absolutely beautiful. It is amazing that the canyon formations are sand and not rock, as I have thought. You can not be frighten of heights to take the walk down into the canyon. The walk back out if quite a hike. We had an amazing full-day of activities and was conveniently dropped of back at our resort in time for our 7:00pm dinner reservation.
