Located just south of Malindi town, the park is managed by Kenya Wildlife Service and is open daily. Entry fees apply and can be paid at the main gate or through KWS digital payment options. Facilities include beaches, picnic areas and boat operators offering guided trips inside the reserve.
Bring sunscreen, a hat and water, as the sun can be intense. Snorkeling equipment can be rented on-site, but checking quality beforehand is recommended. The park is tide-dependent; visibility and activities are best when the sea is calm. Respect marine life—avoid touching corals and feeding fish.
