Every year Humpback whales migrate 1000s of kilometres to the warm waters of Northern Mozambique. The calm waters surrounding Ilha is where they come to breed, give birth and rest before the long journey back to Antarctica. Here is your amazing opportunity to witness this miracle of nature!

​

Sail amongst mothers and their calves and watch as mothers teach young ones to spy-hop, tail slap and breach. Harnessing only the power of wind we are so quiet, you can hear the whales blow. And as an extra bonus, listen to males performing their unique songs with our new state-of-the-art hydrophone.

​

​After our fill of sea-based viewing we go onshore to Ilha de Goa.  The uninhabited desert island has one of the oldest lighthouses in East Africa – another marvellous vantage point to watch whales frolicking. Take the telescope and bincoulars and climb up the abandoned lighthouse while the crew cook up a sumptuous seafood BBQ lunch. After lunch we have time to relax and soak up the sun, loll about in the dreamy turquoise waters and wander along the beach crammed with exquisite shells and white washed corals before sailing back to Ilha.
