Overview

Tour Plan
Touch down in Vilanculos, Mozambique, where you’ll be greeted and transferred by speedboat or light aircraft to your island lodge in the Bazaruto Archipelago, a protected marine paradise in the Indian Ocean. As you glide across turquoise waters and pass palm-lined shores, the stresses of the world melt away. Settle into your beachside villa, enjoy a welcome drink, and relax with a walk on the powdery white sands. The evening unfolds with a fresh seafood dinner beneath the stars, set to the sound of gentle waves.
Awake to the gentle lull of the ocean and enjoy a leisurely breakfast before setting off on a traditional dhow cruise or speedboat tour around the archipelago. Stop at Benguerra Island, Paradise Island, or Magaruque Island to explore their untouched beauty. Spend the day snorkeling at Two Mile Reef, where dazzling coral gardens teem with tropical fish, rays, and even sea turtles. Enjoy a beach picnic or lunch served aboard before heading back for a sunset toast and relaxed evening by the ocean.
This day is dedicated to exploring the rich marine life through a marine safari — possibly spotting dugongs, dolphins, and seasonal whale sightings (June–Nov). Go kayaking, paddleboarding, or deep-sea fishing, or simply swim in the crystal waters. For the adventurous, there’s optional scuba diving to uncover Bazaruto’s deeper reefs. In the afternoon, relax with a massage or beachside nap before a private dinner setup — ideal for honeymooners or romantics at heart.
Today, head inland on Bazaruto Island for a scenic hike up the Bazaruto Dune, the highest sand dune in the archipelago, where panoramic views of sea and sky await. Later, visit a local fishing village to engage with Mozambican coastal life — from traditional dhow-making to vibrant culture. Return to your lodge for a final swim and toast to your island days with a bonfire dinner or live music under the stars.
Enjoy a tranquil final breakfast as the morning sun paints the ocean gold. Take a last walk along the beach or a refreshing dip before your boat or flight transfer back to Vilanculos. Depart with a heart full of salty air, warm hospitality, and the unforgettable rhythm of Bazaruto’s beach safari paradise.
