This island is located in Kisite-Mpunguti Marine Reserve. It is a 50min boat ride from the nearest port Shimoni. The island is about 100 square metres and is a breeding ground for an abundance of Terns. The coral reef is approximately 6km long and encircles the island. The east end is at a depth of 15m while the west is shallower at 8m. Here at low tide there is a pristine white sandy beach exposed where snorkelers can lie in the sun and relax!

Kisite offers unbeatable snorkelling conditions as well as great diving opportunity. The great attractions of this superb reef are the large numbers of extremely tame fish of every imaginable variety, as well as the good coral formations and the calm conditions.

The coral reef forms a shallow wall that rounds the eastern point and there are some deep holes near the bottom in which large lobster and Rock Cod hide. Big surgeon fish and unicorns are almost always present, as well as large snappers. There are schools of Puffer fish, Emperorfish, brightly coloured wrasse, and big parrot fish.

File fish, yellow and white snappers and numerous Big Eyes swim everywhere and some large Moray Eels inhabit some of the coral outcrops on the sandy bottom. The top of the reef is at around 3m and features hard coral, in particular the enormous sheets of plate coral. Here you will see Regal, African and Emperor angel fishes,  Thread  Finned, Red Finned, Yellow Head  Butterfly fish. The soft coral growths are dense and prolific, and together with numerous giant anemones house a great variety of damsel, domino and clown fish.
