The Bungalow includes in the house tariff the use of a A 21 ft “Banana” Boat (Pequeno), which travels very comfortably in the Bay. It has a 60 HP Suzuki 4-stroke Engine, which is quiet and economical. It also has a few sets of snorkelling equipment, however if you have your own, it is recommended you bring your personal equipment..

It is suitable for visits to:

Santa Maria village at high-tide;
Flamingo bay at spring-high tide;
the beach on the inside of Inhaca;
snorkelling in the Santa Maria Channel or the corner near Camp Carlos;
snorkelling on the pristine Inhaca Snorkel sites a few kms away on an incoming tide;
any trips inside the bay within line-of-sight of the house (5 kms).

The boat is not suitable for water-skiing or tubing, and no trips to Portuguese Island or Inhaca far side may be done with this boat, please enquire re the Superduck for these excursions..

Flamingo Bay is highly recommended around full moon or new moon. If you leave the house 2.5 hours before the spring-tide, you can snorkel on Inhaca, then 1 hour before the high, you will be able to go into Flamingo Bay Estuary, travel very slowly right up the ‘river’ just enjoying the most wonderful nature and bird life. Be sure to take a cool-box for sun-downers and a jacket for the return trip!

Antonio, the house manager, will be the skipper. No client may drive this boat please.

There are 6 sets of snorkelling equipment (some kids, some adults) x2 Canoes and x2 SUP’s.

It comes with 25L fuel for a 7 day booking, and 10L for a 2 night booking. This is usually adequate, should you require more fuel, same can be arranged with Antonio for your own account.

Ideally you should try to share a house with other families so that the price is attractive for 8-10 people. A 5th bedroom can be made available for an occasional overflow, as we have a cottage close by, that sleeps 2 in a private en-suite facility.

Due to demand and preference for longer bookings, mostly for at least 7 days or longer by most foreign visitors, we are not able to offer confirmed bookings for only 2 nights long in advance.

To accommodate Maputo residents who often only wish to visit for a weekend, we are happy to make a provisional reservation, but can only offer confirmation 4 weeks in advance if a booking is only for 2 nights, or 6 weeks in advance if the booking is for 3 nights.

If you wish to fish off the beach in the bay, in the channel or on the Inhaca point, we recommend you take along your own light weight ‘flick sticks’, reels and basic tackle for your enjoyment. The tackle should consist of light weight spoons, various shape and size lures, onda ondas etc. Unfortunately fishing off Super Duck is not on offer, but there are many points where you can be delivered and dropped off to fish off the shore.

Deep Sea Fishing charters:

For all open ocean activities, please request our offshore fishing promo (see separate mail for fishing & whale watching) will use a 30Ft Yamaha Cuddie with 2 x 150hp Suzuki 4-stroke outboards. This avoids concerns about potential rough seas and is a safer, more spacious option.
