The warm waters of the Mozambican coastline offer some excellent scuba diving opportunities where you can view a variety of sea life including turtles, reef fish and even bigger game fish, including the gorgeous Manta Rays.

There are two very reputable dive centers located just a beach walk away.

Get in touch we will connect you.

Experience exceptional deep sea fishing with one of the local operators. Game fish are caught throughout the year with the most popular species being yellow fin tuna, wahoo, king mackerel, queen mackerel and dorado. For the hardcore fishermen, marlin and sailfish are best fished between October and January.

Join the annual Guinjata Bay Fishing Comp every July.

One of the most awesome activities to do in Mozambique is to dive, but that is not always a "family activity" but snorkeling offers a gorgeous under water experience. Mozambique is a snorkeling paradise, so pack your mask and flippers.

We found that the best place to snorkel was Paindane, which is about 30 minutes drive from the house, equating to about 30km.

Go on a sea safari of the nearby reefs and explore the warm Indian Ocean alongside the resident dolphins. Be on the lookout for tropical fish, turtles and whale sharks too.

Between May and December, watch Humpback whales passby while you enjoy breakfast on the deck. In May the whales are moving north to their breeding grounds and from September they head south for the nutrient rich waters of Antarctica.

Try your hand canoeing or kayaking in the ocean. If you are lucky, you might even get to share a wave with one of the bottlenose dolphins that frequents the area. With a wide coastline to explore, how better to do this than in a canoe or kayak?

For the avid fisherman, the kayaks also provide an opportunity to do some light tackle fishing trawling behind the backline.

Mozambique has become a popular country for surfers to explore and chase big swells. The best time to enjoy warm waters and uncrowded surf is from February through to October, with the bigger swells coming in June and August.

If you're visiting us during December, this is the best time for your little ones to enjoy the waves!

Enjoy a truly authentic Mozambican experience at Pansy Island. The island only appears during low tide and is named after the famous Pansy shells, which can be found all over the island. Take a traditional dhow to the island with the locals, and explore the beaches in search of the delicate pansy shell and explore the crystal clear waters where you’ll find micro marine life and starfish colonies. Pack your snokeling kit for this!

At low tide the beach presents the perfect surface for a relaxing ride along the water's edge with fat bikes. There are kilometers of beach on your doorstep that can be explored without possibly seeing another human being. We don't know of any companies renting out bikes, so you would need to bring your own, but it is definitely worth it.

Support the locals and take an enjoyable sundowner dhow trip around the bay departing from Inhambane. It’s a great way to experience the silence of the ocean, with just the wind behind you and the sun on your face.

There is nothing like watching the red African sun disappear over the horizon with your favourite drink in hand.

Our personal best activitiy! It has been past down from generation to generation in our very own family. Get down onto the beach when its dark (take bright torches), one person shines the torch and carries the bucket, the other people take sand in their hands and chase after the crabs, while the torch bearer follows the crab with the light. You throw the sand on top of the crab, to basically pin it down and dust the sand off the top of the crab to reveal its body, grip the crab and put him in the bucket.

With your fishing rod in one hand and a bit of luck on your side, fish from the beach directly in front of the villa. Local passers-by will be more than happy to share some of their tricks and tactics of catching in the area that have been passed down from generation to generation. On calmer days, you can take a walk to the rock-pool area in the bay itself and fish from this jutting structure.
