Things to do

What to do in Ponta Do Ouro

Beneath these warm Indian Ocean waters, a proper underwater spectacle awaits. Don your mask and fins to explore coral gardens teeming with rather dashing tropical fish, while sea turtles glide past with enviable grace. The local dolphins prove particularly sociable - join an ethical tour for a respectful hello with these remarkable characters. Fancy something more energetic? The conditions here are spot-on for everything from kitesurfing to kayaking, while deep-sea fishing trips offer the chance to trade tales about the one that got away (usually a marlin or sailfish, if you're wondering). Though there's absolutely nothing wrong with claiming your patch of sand and doing precisely nothing at all - some might say that's rather the point.
