Set out on an organised nature tour, visiting the best bird watching spots with a knowledgeable local guide.

Please be advised that our horse riding activities will not be available between 22 April and 4 June due to the horses undergoing their annual vaccinations. We apologise for any inconvenience.
Snorkelling & Diving
Bazaruto Marine National Park is one of the world’s premier snorkelling and diving destinations. Explore crystal clear waters and a range of dazzling soft coral ridges. Discover an underwater world that is home to over 100 species of coral, thousands of tropical fish species including kingfish, barracuda and mantarays, five kinds of dolphin, four types of whale and shark, all five marine sea turtle species, and the largest population of the rare dugong on the African east coast. Snorkel in tropical waters that seldom drop below 26 degrees Celsius. Enjoy trips and courses for beginners and advanced divers.
Dune Boarding
Bazaruto’s spectacularly high sand dunes tempt the more adventurous to clamber up the towering works of wind blown art and board back down at exhilarating speed. Dune boarding requires very little skill, and is appropriate for both children and adults, making it a great family escapade.
Deep Sea Fishing
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 sailfish and wahoo. The Bazaruto Archipelago is also renowned as Africa’s most productive area for black, blue and striped marlin, with black marlin catches coming in at a staggering 1000 pounds. While kingfish, queenfish, barracuda, mackerel and yellowfin tuna are just a few more of the fishing delights in store.
Water Sports

Discover the thrill of water skiing, knee or wake boarding. Kayak at a serene and relaxing pace you feel the ocean breeze atop the shimmering water.
Dugong, Turtle, Whale & Dolphin Watching
Set out on an offshore boat trip to view some of the Indian Ocean’s most mesmerising sea creatures. Spot dolphins dancing in the waves. Look out for humpback whales from August to October, and whale sharks from April to July. Turtles also frequent the waters, and leatherback, loggerhead and green turtles often come ashore to lay their eggs on Bazaruto’s sandy beaches. Lucky guests may also glimpse the elusive dugong, since Bazaruto boasts the largest population of this rare “sea cow” on the African east coast.
Traditional Dhow Excursions
Cruise the Indian Ocean in timeless local style aboard a dhow sailing boat. Enjoy a range of excursions, including a romantic sunset voyage as a perfect end to a day in paradise.
Coral Garden
One of the greatest allures of Anantara Bazaruto Island Resort & Spa is its secluded location in the breathtaking Bazaruto Archipelago. To ensure that this precious marine environment is conserved long into the future, and in line with Anantara’s focus on protecting nature and working alongside local communities, the resort is proudly engaging in a sustainable coral gardening initiative that is the first project of its kind, in co-operation with the Bazaruto Archipelago National Park.
The Bazaruto Archipelago National Park boasts a stunning array of marine diversity. From the rare dugong to the smallest crustacean and beautiful coral reefs, this paradise is an ocean enthusiast’s dream come true. Dedicated to conserving the amazing biodiversity, the Activities Team at Anantara Bazaruto Island Resort & Spa is actively involved in the development of conservation initiatives to preserve valuable coastal resources, while encouraging the sustainable development of local marine ambassadors.
