A Day of Island Adventures

Your journey begins at Marina Maputo, where you'll board a speedboat for a thrilling 1-hour ride to Santa Maria Island. This tranquil haven is perfect for soaking in untouched beauty. Spend 2.5 hours exploring its beaches, snorkeling in crystal waters, and taking a boat trip through the mangrove canal, where you'll spot diverse wildlife. The serene environment and opportunities for diving and fishing make Santa Maria a nature lover's dream.

Next, a 30-minute speedboat ride brings you to Inhaca Island, a biodiversity hotspot. Over 2 hours, explore the Inhaca Biological Reserve, home to mangroves, colorful birds, and unique plants. Snorkel or dive among coral reefs teeming with fish, and keep an eye out for dolphins or whales. Visit the iconic Inhaca Lighthouse for stunning views, stroll through the local food market, and enjoy a delicious included lunch that showcases Mozambican flavors.

The final stop is Portuguese Island, a secluded gem reached by a quick 10-minute boat ride. Relax on deserted beaches, snorkel in calm waters surrounded by coral reefs, or enjoy a picnic in this serene setting. The island's peaceful isolation is ideal for unwinding before the 1-hour speedboat ride back to Marina Maputo.
