“It was arriving on these beaches, exploring beneath the surface of the sea, and we fell in love immediately. Few places have we seen such quantity, such diversity, and the size of marine species!! More than a decade later, Praia do Tofo and Praia da Barra remain those rare, unspoiled destinations.”
- The team
 

From the moment you step foot on the sand, you’ll feel something different. There’s an unspoken magic in this land, the scent of salt in the air, the gentle rhythm of the waves, the vastness of sky and sea. At Mozambique Experience we don’t simply guide you, we invite you into our home, into the world we live, breathe and love. 

In Tofo, you’ll dive with gentle giants: whale sharks gliding slow through cobalt depths, reef and oceanic sharks charting hidden courses, graceful rays gliding at sunset, and a tapestry of colourful fish weaving around coral gardens. In the winter months, the majestic humpback whales pass through, their songs echoing where surface meets sea.

We’ve designed a programme that lets you truly feel the underwater treasures of this corner of Mozambique. For the true explorers, we have a new secret gem…
 

Far from the crowds, nestled on an untouched stretch of coastline, lies Pomene. This is the kind of place that doesn’t just wow you, it humbles you. Here, the sands are nearly empty, the reefs untrodden, and the horizon feels endless.

This isn’t about ticking a dive site off a list. It’s about being present. It’s about the hush of early morning light on the sea, the thrill of being one of the few visitors ever to slip beneath the waves here, and the quiet connection that you’ll feel with something wild and unspoiled.

Pomene is virgin. Raw. Pure. It’s for those who seek more than spectacle, those who seek immersion. And we’re honoured to bring you there as one of our exclusive destinations. When you combine Tofo’s warmth and community with Pomene’s solitude and wildness, you step into something rare. A journey that doesn’t just show you Mozambique, it lets you be Mozambique.

Where to fly

We recommend flying into Maputo, and from there, the local airline Linhas Aéreas de Moçambique (LAM) offers a domestic flight to Inhambane, which is just 23 km from where wer are located.

Alternatively, you can also fly to Johannesburg, South Africa, and from there take a flight to Inhambane, or with Airlink, there is a flight to Vilanculos, where we can come and pick you up (4 hours drive approximately).

From your arrival in African lands to your departure, we will always be by your side, accompanying you on this experience.

Here is the standard itinerary for the Nhapomene Experience.

If a week of diving is not enough for you, don't hesitate to offer as many days as you want.

Don't forget that from your arrival on African soil until your departure, we will always be by your side accompanying you on this experience.
