Description
The dock where you can take a boat to Lamu. We paid 150pp for the large, slow boat (~35 min) to Lamu and paid 300pp for a small, faster boat (~20min) for the return. There are many boats all day waiting to take you to/from Lamu. There's no official, secure parking lot at the dock as indicated on Maps.me. We paid a guy 300/day to watch our truck and all was fine when we returned four days later.

Report Check-InWe took a private boat from Mokowe to Manda airport dock for 1000ksh. We negotiated with several boat operators and every single one was firm that the price was 1000. We were in a hurry to meet friends so we agreed. There are public options if you can wait.
On the return we took the 6AM public boat for 250pp from Shela back to Mokowe. Downside to this is it takes an hour. If you are pressed for time, take the slow public boat from Shela to Lamu and one of the faster public boats from Lamu to Mokowe (would save ~30 minutes.)
