What to do in Nairobi with half a day free

Ruyah Adventures runs 10 wildlife and adventure experiences from Nairobi and Diani Beach, from a one-hour sunrise balloon flight to a full day out. You can ride a quad bike, horse, camel or e-bike across private conservancy land, shoot on a professional range, go up at sunrise in a hot air balloon, charter a helicopter from Wilson Airport, or dive and skydive at Diani Beach. Private hotel pickup and drop-off is included in every price.

The time we publish is the activity itself. Add one to two hours of private transfer each way, which is included in the price, from anywhere in Nairobi. So the two-hour E-Bike Wildlife Safari is roughly four to six hours door to door, quad biking and the shooting range around five to seven, and horseback riding most of a day. Camelback safaris and tandem skydives are a full day. Because the transfer is private rather than a shared shuttle, tell us your timings and we will work to them.

Yes, from any hotel or address in Nairobi, and from conference venues and the airport too. It is included in the price of every experience and the vehicle is private, not shared. You pick your time at checkout — 06:00, 09:00, 12:00 or 15:00 — and because the transfer is yours alone we can usually work to any time between 06:00 and 15:00 if you ask.

Private hotel transfers both ways, your guide, all safety gear and the safety briefing. The half-day and full-day experiences include a proper meal. Experiences are priced per person unless the page says otherwise, and there is nothing to add on the day — what you see is what you pay.

Choose your preferred date at checkout and we confirm your slot by WhatsApp or email within 12 hours. If we cannot accommodate your date, you are offered an alternative or a full refund, no questions asked.

Yes. Cancellation is free up to 24 hours before your adventure, and you receive a full refund. Inside 24 hours, message us on WhatsApp and we will do what we can.

Often, yes, but check the timings with us first. The activity itself can be as short as an hour, but private transfers add one to two hours each way, so allow four to six hours door to door for the shortest experiences. Message us on WhatsApp with your flight times before you book and we will tell you honestly whether it fits.

No. Every experience begins with a safety briefing, and your guide stays with you throughout. Tell us your experience level when you book so we can match you appropriately.

Very little, because gear and meals are included. We send you a short list of what to bring for your specific experience when we confirm your booking, so it is accurate for the activity, the season and the time of day.

Two. The Tandem Skydive and Ocean Diving both run at Diani Beach on the Kenyan coast, not from Nairobi. Pickup from your Diani hotel is included and the drive is short. Because the sea and the sky set the schedule, we confirm your pickup time the day before, once we know the weather and the tides. Every other experience runs from Nairobi, with private transfers from your hotel included.
