The Bazaruto Archipelago is best explored from the water, and our sister company Wild Africa operates one of the finest vessels in the region to do just that.
Mothassane is a spacious, well-appointed speedboat powered by twin 200hp Yamaha engines, with a bow lounger for sunbathing and a rear diving deck perfect for snorkelling and reef fishing. She accommodates up to 14 guests in comfort, and her experienced crew — at home in these waters — takes care of every detail.
Day trips depart at 8:30am and include a full island itinerary: snorkelling at Two Mile Reef, climbing the world-famous Bazaruto dune for panoramic views over the Archipelago, and a freshly prepared fish BBQ lunch on Benguerra Island — away from the crowds. Whale watching is available in season. Guests return to the mainland around 3:30pm.
Island destinations include Bazaruto & Benguerra, Santa Carolina and Magaruque. Mothassane is also available for private hire, ideal for groups, romantic outings or a custom day on the water.
Magarugue Island is the smallest island and closest island to the mainland and the fishing town of Vilankulo. Travel with a traditional Dhow, enjoy cooked lunch prepared on the open fire on the boat itself and snorkel along with the stream of the ‘Magaruague Express’, enjoying ample marine life and coral worlds. Families with small children often opt for this specific trip as they can easily walk around the entire island in less than two hours and swim in the sheltered bay facing the mainland, protected from strong sea currents.

Since 2014, Bahia Mar has supported community preschools in Vilankulo to provide learn-through-play opportunities to local three to five year olds. Without this support, children would start school at six years old and miss out on critical development opportunities that bring life-long benefits.
The children love to receive visits from guests!
Bahia Mar partnered as exclusive sponsor, with ParCo and the local authorities, to combat large-scale seahorse poaching in the area through an intensive campaign at the end of 2018.
Through education, enforcement, research, and tourism, the community is finding alternative incomes linked with the protection of the seahorse species instead of poaching.
When you embark on an adventure to snorkel with the seahorses led by the local community, you contribute to protection too!
Expect flat, waist deep water and consistent winds making this spot a kitesurfers paradise.

Bahia Mar Restaurant
At the heart of Bahia Mar's dining experience are Joël and François, our French head chefs with over two decades of experience cooking in Mozambique. Their kitchen brings together the best of local and international flavours — fresh seafood landed nearby, produce sourced from local suppliers, and classic techniques applied with a light, tropical touch.
Breakfast is generous and unhurried, setting the tone for the day ahead. The à la carte lunch and dinner menus feature freshly caught fish and seafood, alongside vegan and lighter options for those seeking something simpler. The cooking is rooted in local and seasonal ingredients — reflecting our broader commitment to responsible, sustainable sourcing.
When the sun starts to drop over the Archipelago, the infinity pool bar becomes the place to be. Fresh fruit smoothies, cold beers and handcrafted cocktails — all with one of the finest views in Vilankulo.
