Snorkel in the azure waters of Ponta Do Ouro

The waters off Mozambique's southern coast are home to a menagerie of underwater creatures, from the rare dugong to Leatherback turtles and incredible species of fish. It's no surprise that Ponto do Ouro is also a snorkelling Nirvana with myriad reefs to choose from, and balmy and crystal-clear waters. After a boat ride across the bay, enter a world of underwater flora and fins along the reefs with depths ranging from 10 metres to depths of 47 metres at the aptly-named Atlantis. Spend as long as you like exploring the colourful coral formations, keeping your eyes keen to spot the endangered species of the Mozambican Channel. While Mozambique's south coast are temperate most of the year, but the dry season (May to November) is the most enjoyable.
