Q: What is Robinson Island in Diani?

Robinson Island is a natural sandbank located just off Diani Beach that emerges from the ocean during low tide. It's one of Diani's most unique attractions - a temporary private island where guests swim, sunbathe, and enjoy a seafood lunch before the tide returns.

Q: Can you visit Robinson Island at any time?

No - Robinson Island is only accessible during low tide, typically in the morning. The timing of tours is planned around the tidal calendar. Dosta Tours checks tide schedules when booking to ensure the best experience.

Q: How do you get to Robinson Island from Diani?

A short boat transfer of 10-15 minutes from Diani Beach takes you directly to the sandbank. Hotel pick-up and drop-off in Diani is included with all Robinson Island bookings.

Q: Is Robinson Island tour worth it?

Absolutely. It's one of the most photographed and talked-about experiences in Diani. The combination of the tidal island, clear warm water, and fresh seafood lunch makes it a top-rated half-day activity, especially for couples and families.
