Day 2: Dhow Boat Sailing

Stop At: Praia do Tofo, Tofo Mozambique
The day starts off early with pick-ups at your accommodation at around 7am, your guide will already have been to the market to collect the seafood which will be prepared for your lunch. Bring along some chilled music and drinks for the boat ride which starts off with a trip to Pansy Island. Pansy Island is named after the beautiful shells found on the island which have a gorgeous flower imprint on them.

Pansy Island is just heavenly, with starfish and seahorses galore! Once on Pansy Island you get off the boat to do some snorkeling, the guides provide the snorkels and guide you to some of the more interesting water creatures, or leave you be to explore on your own, you decide how to spend your time here. Definitely get off the boat and explore the sea life though. From Pansy Island you then sail on to Survivor Island whose name is derived from the modest village on the island which has none of the modern-day amenities. The community prepares your lunch, consisting of very yummy seafood and rice prepared in the local style, and you may be lucky enough to have the chief of the village come and greet and spend time with you. Have on hand some change to give to the kiddies dancing for you as you enter or leave the island. The day trips ends with the boat trip back to Barra where you will be transferred, again, by very modest means of transport, back to Tofo.
