Activities · Ponta do Ouro · Mozambique
The adventure starts
outside the gate.
Dive the reefs, head out onto the ocean, explore the wild or simply find your place on the beach.
Choose your pace
However you like to spend the day, Ponta has an answer.
Go below the surface, find something with a little more energy or slow everything down beside the Indian Ocean. The best part is being able to mix all three into one stay.
Into the ocean
Go below the surface
Dive the reefs, snorkel clear water and head out onto the Indian Ocean for marine experiences.
A little more action
Catch a wave
Surf, bodyboard or head offshore for a fishing trip when you feel like turning the pace up.
Take it easy
Slow down by the sea
Swim, wander the beach, explore Ponta and leave enough room in the day to simply do nothing.
Scuba Diving · Ponta do Ouro
Discover what lies below the surface.
Ponta do Ouro is well known for reef diving, clear Indian Ocean water and a rich variety of marine life.
Whether you already dive or want to explore the underwater side of Ponta for the first time, local dive operators offer trips to reefs along the coast.
Ocean Safaris · Dolphins · Snorkelling
Head out onto the Indian Ocean.
Ponta do Ouro is known for ocean safaris, dolphin encounters and easy access to clear coastal water.
Local operators offer marine outings along the coast, with opportunities to snorkel and experience the ocean beyond the beach.
Ocean experiences
Maputo National Park
Trade the beach for a day in the wild.
Forests, lakes, open plains and wildlife make Maputo National Park a completely different side of a Ponta stay.
Take the day inland
Safari, forests and wide-open landscapes.
Explore the park on a guided or self-drive safari, look out for wildlife and birdlife, or spend time discovering its forests, lakes and dune landscapes.
Keep it wild. Wildlife sightings and conditions vary, so every visit to the park is a little different.
Surf · Bodyboarding · Fishing
Turn the pace up a little.
When a slow beach day is not quite enough, Ponta gives you plenty of ways to add a little more action to the trip.
On the water
Surf + Bodyboarding
Catch a wave.
Warm water and a coastline built for ocean time make surfing and bodyboarding an easy way to add some energy to a day in Ponta.
Head offshore
Deep-Sea Fishing
Take the adventure offshore.
For anglers, local fishing charters offer another way to experience the waters off Ponta and spend a few hours further out on the Indian Ocean.
Beach Days · Ponta Life
Sometimes the best plan is no plan at all.
Swim, wander, explore the town and leave a little space in the day for whatever catches your attention.
Slow down by the sea
Take Ponta slowly
Beach, markets and nowhere you need to rush.
Spend the morning in the water, wander through Ponta, browse local stalls or stop somewhere for something to eat. Not every day needs an itinerary.
Local Ponta
Plan Your Ponta Days
A little planning. Plenty of freedom.
You do not need to fill every hour. Pick the kind of day you feel like having and let the rest of Ponta happen around it.
Early Start
Make the most of the morning.
Start early when the day calls for something bigger on or below the water.
Easy Afternoon
Keep the day loose.
Swim, snorkel, wander into Ponta or browse the local markets without worrying too much about the clock.
Full-Day Adventure
Head inland for the day.
Set aside more time when you want to explore the landscapes, wildlife and trails of Maputo National Park.
