Balmy Indian Ocean waters are ripe for adventure. Go full speed with waterskiing, wake or kneeboarding, or tranquilly explore by kayak or stand-up paddleboard.
Used throughout the Indian Ocean for thousands of years, these slender, long-hulled vessels are the preferred mode of transport for Bazaruto’s traders and fishermen. Enjoy a range of excursions by dhow, including a romantic sunset voyage.

The Bazaruto Archipelago has world-class dive sites with barely a soul in sight. Enjoy year-round balmy waters, PADI-certified dive masters, and all your equipment needs taken care of.
Set out in search of the Indian Ocean’s most mesmerising creatures. Spot dolphins dancing in the waves. Look out for humpback whales from August to October, and whale sharks from April to July.

Lucky guests may also glimpse the elusive dugong, with Bazaruto boasting the largest population in East Africa.
The Bazaruto Archipelago has been a national park since 1971, and a strong marine conservation policy of tag and release ensures sustainability – and many a prize catch. Anglers looking to test their skills can try their hand at catching the black, blue and striped marlin for which the area is known.
