And if it's available book with Laurie and Clive at Casa Karibu in Santa Maria, a wonderful, perfect spot run by lovely lovely people!

There are a few options now that we have spoken to the locals, the government ferry (Lau Lau) leaving at Katembe pier at 7H30, you have to be there by 7H00 Am, otherwise that are multiple private ferries, at the M...

It is definitely worth a visit, although it takes about 2,5 hours by ferry to reach and further 25-30 minutes by car to reach a good beach as the water is low tide, which costs around 2500-3000 MZN.

Sad

Island has gone backward, The hotel at the front of the beach is still not operating after 5 years. Entrance fee must be paid at Island, just another money making scheme.

Poor infrastructures but very beautiful place. Rent a boat in Maputo because it will be faster and they will take you some places that will be difficult from the public boat. Take your snorkel glasses. Not many places to eat but the ones that exist...More

We made a boattrip to Inhaca a couple of days before Christmas. Sea was very rough but the skipper was very relaxed and we stood calm. For me it was a nice experience but I will not do it again

Which boat company/tour operator do you recommend to get to Inhaca Island? We will be staying in Maputo this weekend and want to know if we should book in advance or wait until we arrive to do so?

Hello, I always travel to inhaca with Richard. He has many types of boats, depending on how many you are, and good boats. Is number is 00258846774438. Mozambique number. Better to book in advance. Enjoy your stay :)

Hello everyone! I am going to visit Inhaca on April and I would like to know how many days are the perfect number to visit Inhaca's main attractions. Do we have enough with 2 days or it would be better to stay 3 days? Moreover, what are the activities to do there? Is there anything to do without having to take an organized excursion? If you have any tips on visiting inhaca I would appreciate them. Thankyou.

3 days is better.

michelletatenda

so all in all for a day trip, how much did it cost you to do the Inhaca Island ferry in and out per person if you book on the right side as you say

16 January 2019|

Answer

I would reserve like 500 rands, but it is cheaper than that for sure.
