Sail into a Mozambique sunset

Board a handcrafted wooden dhow, the traditional sailing boat of the Mozambican coast, for a relaxed afternoon on Vilanculos Bay. With the breeze in the sail, glide along the shoreline and take in the turquoise shallows and the beautiful sweep of King Fish Bay.

Sunset from Red Dune beach

The dhow drops anchor at Red Dune beach, where you step ashore to watch the sun sink over the bay in a blaze of colour, one of the finest sunset spots on this coast.

Light meal on board

A light meal of sandwiches and fruit is served during the cruise, with soft drinks, fruit juice and mineral water. Prefer a feast? On request we can prepare a full brunch with fresh seafood, bread, rice and vegetables, plus coffee and tea; sparkling wine and beer are also available on request.

Good to know

The cruise departs from Vilanculos main beach in the afternoon; the exact meeting point and time are arranged around your plans and the sunset. Sailing depends on wind and sea conditions. Bring sunscreen, a hat and a light jacket for the return.
