What our customers say

We went on the Whale Watching Tour, The Boabab Island Snorkelling Tour, The Bicycle Tour of the Island and the Snorkeling at the Shipwreck Tour. We would recommend any or all of them. Each had fabulous multi-lingual local guides who gave a good rundown of cultural/historical aspects. The boat tours all had exceptionally good home-made food and were well paced so that you had plenty of time to enjoy the environment and activities, but also to relax over a sociable meal.

We spent 2 weeks on Ilha and did pretty much all the Ilha Blue tours. On all of them the service was excellent and we were treated with fantastic care and attention to detail. We watched several world cup games with the staff and felt a bit like family by the end of our stay! Ilha is a fascinating place and really gets under your skin. Highly recommended.

About the Island of Mozambique

Ilha de Mozambique, or just ‘Ilha’ as the locals say, is the heartbeat of the North with its colourful, vibrant culture and friendly people. As the former capital of Mozambique it has an extra special place in the hearts and minds of all Mozambicanos (Indeed the country took its name from the island rather than the other way round!) and the entire island is UNESCO World Heritage listed. And at only 3 kilometres long and 500 metres wide, it’s the perfect size for getting around by bicycle and kayak.

Ilha was once a significant link in the centuries-old African trade route to India and Europe and the island remains entrenched in history. This fascinating past is enhanced and contrasted by its fabulous contemporary culture….
