Benguerra Island tours & holiday packages

More on Benguerra Island holidays

Benguerra's big drawcard is its marine life. The Bazaruto Archipelago, which is part of a national park, is home to a population of rare dugong and sees migrating humpback whales pass through its waters. Benguerra's offshore coral reefs are pristine: go snorkelling and diving to see an abundance of brightly coloured tropical fish, reef sharks, turtles, manta rays and sometimes whale sharks. The famous Two-Mile Reef is one of the best places to see this spectacular aquarium.

The island's lodges offer a range of other activities, from sailing on a dhow at sunset, beach picnics, big game fishing (tag and release) and visits to Pansy Island (a deserted island covered in pansy shells) to guided island tours to see the inland lakes and do some bird spotting (the island has nearly 100 species of birds) and go horseback riding.
