Here are some options for getting from the airport to Watamu:
This is the closest airport to Watamu, located about 15 km away. The taxi ride takes about 20 minutes and costs approximately 2,000–3,000 KES (20–30 USD).
Further away than Malindi, about 105 km from Watamu. Transfer options are:
1. Taxi – takes 1 hour and 45 minutes and costs 6,000–8,000 KES (60–80 USD).
2. Shuttle Van – shared minivan transfer services, which are more affordable, costing about 2,500 KES (25 USD) per person. Travel time is similar to that of a taxi.
3. Public bus – the most affordable option, costing 500–1,000 KES (5–10 USD). It is less comfortable and slower, taking about 2 hours and 30 minutes.
– If you’re arriving in Nairobi, I recommend taking a domestic flight to Malindi or Mombasa, which is more comfortable and faster.
– You can book private transfers with a driver through your hotel in Watamu or local tour operators.
