The afternoon could be spent kayaking through the cool mangroves, returning to the lodge via one of the secluded beaches, for an afternoon siesta or snorkeling the rocky pools.

Their presence of the coast of Mozambique from late June until late November as it is an excellent feeding ground for their young, who are then able to build up an important fat layer before returning to colder waters in December. Most guests are content to watch these fantastic creatures and their incredible display of breaching in the bay from the comfort of their private verandah or with a drink in hand relaxing by the bar. However, the more intrepid have enjoyed kayaking and diving between them as they show their splendid yet gentle strength.

The area offers divers entry from the shore with a gradual slope towards the wall of the continental shelf, which is teeming with marine life and beautiful coral.
