Remote Island Breakaway Experience
Our Remote Island Breakaway Package which is ideal for couples and honeymooners whisks you away to endless white beaches and the warm waters of the Indian Ocean, where you can enjoy some of the best diving, fishing and snorkelling in the world. During dives, you may see Turtles, Whales and Dolphins.
Escape to a remote island in the Bazaruto Archipelago, where you will stay in a luxurious beach lodge. Delight in excellent personalised service. During your Mozambique beach holiday savour a romantic beach picnic with chilled bubbly. Go sailing along the coast in a traditional boat called a dhow. Imagine going horse-riding along the beach or sipping Pina Coladas by the pool.
Discover the abundant marine life on the reefs during diving and snorkelling expeditions. Catch a fish which is then cooked to perfection by the chef for dinner. Relax and soak up the sun, be pampered with wellness treatments out on the deck.
Day 1: Johannesburg - Vilanculos - Bazaruto Archipelago
On the first morning of your Remote Island Breakaway you will catch a scheduled flight from Johannesburg O. R. Tambo International Airport to Vilanculos. Once immigration has been completed, you will take a helicopter transfer to the Bazaruto Archipelago.
Once at the island there'll be time to settle in to your beach suite, enjoy some refreshing snacks. Have a lazy swim in the warm waters of the Indian Ocean or go for a stroll down the beach. Sip on sundowners and plan the next day's activities with the hosts before savouring a scrumptious dinner on the deck of your villa.
Day 2 - 6: Bazaruto Archipelago
Spend the next 5 days of your Mozambique holiday exploring the beautiful island. Go snorkelling and discover the underwater wonders of the aquatic realm which includes some of the most beautiful reefs in the world. A truly spectacular adventure is a diving trip to Two Mile Reef, with its abundant hard and soft corals, reef fish, Turtles, Reef Sharks, Moray Eel, Grouper and Stingray.
Take a guided island tour and see the many species of birds that live there, as well as Duiker and Suni. Be spoilt with a delectable hamper of goodies and delight in a picnic in a scenic spot on the beach. Go sailing in a traditional boat called a dhow and enjoy a sunset cruise like the sailors of days gone by. Discover the unique beaches, freshwater lakes and island culture.
Savour delectable meals out on the deck in front of your suite or round a roaring bonfire. The chef will create sumptuous meals based on freshly caught local seafood. For dessert why not roast marshmallows on the dying embers. If you are feeling adventurous why not try your luck at deep-sea fishing in one of the world's richest fishing grounds. Catch Sail fish, Blue and Black Marlin and King Fish.
On your return to the lodge, the chef will be happy to cook your catch for dinner. Alternately, just relax in the shade with a good book; be pampered with rejuvenating wellness treatments and go for leisurely strolls along the endless white beach.
Day 7: Bazaruto Archipelago - Vilanculos - Johannesburg
On the last morning of your Remote Island Breakaway enjoy a last walk on the beach - perhaps collect a Pansy Shell or have a swim before breakfast on the deck.
