A slender coral island just off Mozambique’s remote northern coast, Vamizi Island’s near perfect white coral beaches and breathtakingly beautiful shallows are just the tip of the tropical iceberg.

Beneath the surface of the Vamizi seas is an outstanding reefscape - mountains, valleys, plateaux and cliffs, teeming with a bewildering amount of sea life - from whales, dolphins, turtles and reef sharks to Gregorian corals and giant clams.

Some of the dives here are said to be the best in the world, and the deep sea fishing better than the whole East African coast. Other water activities include snorkelling trips, castaway picnics, whale watching expeditions, and trips out in kayaks and traditional dhows.
