Mozambique Diving Adventure
(6 nights/ 7 days full board basis)
Price: From $ 1873,00 per person sharing
One of the most popular tourist areas in Mozambique is the Bazaruto Archipelago
consisting of four islands - Bazaruto, Benguerra, Margaruque and Santa Carolina.
They are situated just off the mainland, and are accessible by dhow (East
African- style sail boat) from the town of Vilanculos or by private air
charter.
The archipelago's coral reefs and clear waters are a magnet for snorkeling
and scuba diving fans, where night and wreck dives are also offered.
Marine life includes the most spectacular of marine mammals, the dugong,
and several types of dolphin. Humpback whales can be seen during the summer
months. Land animals include the small suni and duiker antelope, which have
recently been re-introduced to the island.
You will be met off your flight at Vilanculos Airport by an Unreal Dive
representative, who will assist with a transfer directly to the Vilancoulos
Beach lodge to meet your skipper and board your private yacht, where you
will spend the next 3 days. The skipper will haul anchor and you will set
off on the most wonderful sailing holiday… Overnight at Benguerra Lodge
Each of the next 2 days can offer different new island experiences, relaxing
on remote beaches with white sand, turquoise blue water and palm trees.
For the adventure driven the massive sand dunes on Bazaruto Island offer
plenty of fun.
Between diving and fishing, there's always the thrill of the wind in
your face as you sail the turquoise seas, Island Hopping and stopping
for a fresh experience along white shores.
The skipper will assist divers to explore the mystique of the underwater
world. With the help of on-board sonar scanners and depth sounders, it's
not uncommon to make new and exciting underwater discoveries.
