Overnight Dhow Excursion
This excursion is covered by your activity package. We leave Vilanculo and sail to Magaruque Island for some snorkelling and lunch. The third largest island in the archipelago, one can walk around this small island in a couple of hours. A base reef on the lee side of the island provides good snorkelling.
In the late afternoon we sail back to the mainland where we stay overnight at Villas do Indico Lodge. (At this stage it is not possible to overnight on the Islands, but our local operator is continually trying to get permission for this.)
On day 2 of the excursion we sail to 2-Mile Reef (depending on the tide). Beautiful and diverse coral formations and thousands of tropical fishes, from tiny clownfish to large wrasse and parrotfish can be found here. Moray eels, various rays and white-tip reef sharks can also be seen. Scuba diving and snorkelling are both recommended.
After spending the entire day out on the water we return to Vilanculo where we sleep this evening.
If the weather is not favourable for the excursion, you will receive a refund for the portion of your Activity Package not utilized.
