Whale Migration Route. New information platform to be established
Every year Humpback Whales migrate thousands of kilometers up the East African coast to breed and give birth in the warmer waters of Northern Mozambique. And now a group of marine scientists, tourism operators, conservationists, local communities and government agencies is collaborating to develop an online platform to chart their progress and share the news […]
The Travelhadores
The ‘Travelhadores’ – the Northern Mozambique Tourism Workers Exchange has commenced. The concept of the Travelhadores (a play on the Portuguese term for workers trabalhadores) is to give tourism workers in the north of Mozambique the opportunity to experience other tourism operations, to share ideas and best practices and to experience tourism. Seven of us […]

Team building – Matanuska Mozambique
It was a great pleasure to have the senior management team from Matanuska Mozambique (Banana Farm) with us again on Ilha de Mozambique for their second, weekend-long session of team building. At Ilha Blue we have designed a program that maximises interaction with the natural assets of the island and its nearby surrounds. The program […]
Best excursions available
Ilha Blue is an event company run by a wonderful couple named Pete and Gail. They are savvy and knowledgeable about all things Ilha and a few minutes chat with them will result in the perfect outing being arranged. Thomas O View our tours
Wonderful experience
We booked two trips: the biking tour and the beach-baobab combo. The former trip was amazing. Perfect way to visit the island. The bikes are comfortable, the pace is relaxing and we learned a lot from our wonderful guide. The visit to the beach was also good but we preferred the bike tour. The beach […]
An amazing, unforgettable day out
This was truly a day to remember. We started off watching humpback whales cavort in the water around our boat, then landed on a desert island where the crew gave us a delicious lunch and finally we sailed back to Ilha with the sun setting over the Indian Ocean. Everyone was extremely friendly as well […]
Fantastic dhow trip and snorkelling
Having planned an impromptu trip with Ilha blue the night before going on the snorkelling and dhow trip, the experience with Ilha Blue was nothing but great! We met up for the dhow cruise at 8.30 am and got a briefing on the what to expect, the plan was to go out hopefully in the […]
Excursion sponsored by Ilha Blue
A lively group of 9 children aged 3-10 attend a learning center on Ilha de Mocambique. On Fridays one of the children’s parents are in charge of setting up a program for the kids. Upon hearing about this, Ilha Blue were so friendly that they offered to take the bunch out on a whale watching […]
Whale watching
My family went on a whale watching dhow ride. It was amazing to see the whales. They also stopped to serve lunch on one of the islands that has a whole canopy set up. The trip was lovely and fun. Katie Walker – Florida, USA View this tour
Whales!
The crew was amazing, well organized and really nice during all the day. We also saw the whales really close to our boat, amazing experience. After we went to see some reef and we had the lunch on an incredible beach with white sand and crystalline water. Giorgio – Milan, Italy View this tour
Amazing adventure!
We were two 28-years-old girls backpacking the country for two weeks and we had just an awesome day discovering the secret spots of Ilha de Mozambique and its surroundings. We chose the Ocean Safari option, which offered us the chance of seeing whales, discovering the fairy underground world of the region by snorkelling near Goa […]
Fun things to do on the island
I love Ilha de Mozambique with all its history. One of the best ways to learn about it is to go on a gentle cycle tour with Ilha Blue around the Island, visiting all the historic places. The bikes are old Royal Mail delivery bikes which make the trip more unique. Ilha Blue organise other […]
Ocean Safari
The safari was well organised, in a nice boat, we enjoyed the experience as a group had a lot of fun, the team was very professional and we felt safe. Elias – Nampula, Mozabique View this tour
Ilha Blue is the best!
Ilha blue makes the tour experience personalised and fun. The food was delicious, the staff were friendly, and the places we visited were stunning — highly, highly recommend doing a tour with them on Ilha! TM Fox – Boston, USA
Underestimated
I highly recommend staying for more than just a few days, which most people tend to do, I was fortunate enough to stay for a month. The adventures I’ve had are mind blowing from little walks where I have found old and beautiful buildings from the area of the Portuguese, to the joy of the […]
Beautiful Ilha das Cobras
Cannot recommend Ilha Blue enough. Pete, Gail and the whole team were fantastically helpful and accommodating. We did the overnight dhow and camping trip on Ilha das Cobras and it was superb – the lagoon with its nesting cormorants and illuminated cave systems was otherworldly and the whole atmosphere was perfect. Ayuba and the other […]
Excellent daytrip
The dhow trip from Moz Island was fantastic. The Ilha Blue team are great and the food was excellent. Once you are in Ilha, please organise with them. Highly recommend. Antonio – Maputo, Mozambique View this tour
A great relaxing trip on a beautiful deserted island
We spent two nights camping on Ilha das Cobras – it was definitely the highlight of our visit to Ilha de Mocambique. The island was a lovely place to relax, kayak and swim in the lagoon. The food was also absolutely delicious! The Ilha blue team were great and organised a fantastic trip for us! […]
Beautiful sunset boat tour!
We did the sunset boat tour around Ilha with Ilha Blue and had a wonderful time. The Ilha Blue staff was very warm and professional, and showed us around the beautiful island. Sunset is also a great time of day to be out on the water. All in all, I would highly recommend using Ilha […]
Stunning view of Ilha at sunset on a gorgeous dhow… with the best people!!
I’m pretty sure the title says it all… I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of the sunset boat trip around Ilha with Gail and Pete from Ilha Blue. Especially at the end, jumping off the boat and taking a swim and then having drinks by the fortaleza. Magical experience and a must-do! Denny – Ilha de […]
History, culture and fabulous island life
Local knowledge is a blessing when travelling to new territory and the crew at Ilha Blue are generous with theirs which made my brief trip to Mozambique Island complete with blue water fun – kayaking, sailing and snorkelling – coral island exploration, historical tours and great local food (best seafood ever… and I mean ever!) […]
Great day out! Not to be missed!
We try to adventure with Ilha Blue whenever we can. The boat trips are fantastic, the bike trips are fabulous. Don’t miss the awesome adventures with these guys. Best way to relax and see the island and it’s surrounds! TripAdvisor reviewer View our tours
Adventures in Ilha
I had the pleasure of going to Ilha recently and was quite impressed with the variety of tours offered by Ilha Blue. Although I only had time for the boat, snorkelling and kayak activities, it was clear that these tours were well organised, the guides were very knowledgeable of the area and the waters, and […]
The best way to see the Island!
I can’t recommend Ilha Blue enough! We went out on their dhow with another couple, and had an absolutely incredible morning sailing out to the coral reefs, snorkelling in the clear blue ocean, and beach-combing on one of the small islands. The team sailing the boat was experienced and knowledgeable, Pete and Gail were an […]
Excellent!
What a wonderful way to tour the island. There were lots of options, land and sea. The guides were terrific and personable. Anthony – Toronto, Canada View our tours
Great time!
I traveled solo in Ilha de Mocambique. Ilha Blue tours were part of a great experience. Going on a guided tour on bike around the island was a great way to enter inside the historical atmosphere. Seeing a beautiful sunset from the dhow, going to see the whales and having lunch on a beautiful little […]
Adventures with Ilha Blue

Great snorkelling outside Ilha de Mocambique and Goa Island!
We took two trips with Ilha Blue. First was the kayaking combined with snorkelling around the Island. The snorkelling was actually surprisingly good, especially outside the eastern part of Ilha de Moçambique, where the corals had great colour! The second trip we took was to Goa Island for snorkelling on an old wreck. The snorkelling […]
Highly recommended if you’re visiting Ilha
We went on two trips with Ilha – snorkelling on a shipwreck near Goa Island and a kayaking/snorkelling trip. Both were excellent – the former in particular was a wonderful experience. We really liked Peter, Gail and their team – laid back but efficient, strong emphasis on building local capacity and skills and the things […]
Biking and kayaking – the best combination to discover Ilha de Mozambique!
The island is small, but if you would only walk on it you would get tired soon. So it was a very good idea to book the guided bicycle tour. We drove and stopped and got information about special houses, streets, history and went on – everything in a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere and a […]
Humpback whales are STILL here!
Humpback whales have arrived in big numbers this season. Mothers and calves are leaping about all over the place. Ilha Blue is the only operator doing whale-watching trips and we are going out 4 or 5 times a week. We go by Swahili sailing dhow so as not disturb the whales as mothers teach young […]
Celebrations, Awards and Parties
At Ilha Blue we have started the season off in fine style, winning another Trip Advisor Certificate of Excellence award (that makes three years in a row!). And on the same day it was announced that Ilha Blue has been nominated for the 2016 World Responsible Tourism awards. We’re honoured and thrilled to be side […]
1st visit to Ilha de Moçambique
The Ilha Blue group assisted by making this an memorable experience. Whether it be by taking a bike ride on the Island with historical information provided by a excellent guide or going out on the water with a kayak to snorkel and experience the magnificent scenes under the water. Thanks to the management and team […]
Camping on Cobras Island
A friend and I took the dhow trip out to Cobras Island and really enjoyed it. Our own little desert island for a day. The tiny beach where we camped was lovely with amazing rock formations. Kayaking around the lagoon was surreal, it felt totally cut off from the outside world among the mangroves and […]
Perfect Ilha experience!
A beautiful sunset sailing culminating in a swim and drinks with the fortress as a stunning backdrop. Thanks Gail for hosting us! Raewyn – Cambridge, New Zealand View this tour
Beautiful Trip
We drove from Nampula to Ilha de Mocambique. Had a great time as we were able to enjoy the view through the windows of our tourist bus. There was water all over and it was crystalline blue with lots of greenery surrounding it. Enjoyed the tour, we saw the fort which is a nice tourist […]

All done in an unhurried, relaxed pace and with a genuine desire that the people on the tour are enjoying themselves. Highly recommended. Eoin M […]
Excellent experience with Ilha Blue
Peter, Gail and all the Ilha Blue staff are fantastic. Snorkeling off Sete Paus was amazing and the coral reefs were gorgeous. I always recommend Ilha Blue to people traveling to Ilha de Mozambique. Maria Fernanda – Angoche, Mozambique View this tour
Great experience!
I had found Ilha Blue through research I had done on the island. I was definitely interested in doing the bicycle tour around the island. The bicycle tour is quite fun and with the weather it was a truly memorable experience. Our guide was very informative and helpful and knows the island well. We went […]
Immerse Yourself in the Culture of Ilha
“Ilha” (what the locals call Mozambique Island), is an exotic mix of Swahili, Arabic, Indian and Portuguese culture. What better way to find out about the history of this island was by arranging a tour with Ilha Blue. I took a walking tour that visited historical Stonetown, vibrant Makuti Town and everywhere else in between. […]
Ilha Blue is such an asset to Mozambique Island and travellers!
My recent holiday on Ilha de Mocambique was fantastic mainly due to the great tours offered by Ilha Blue Island Safaris. They are to be commended for offering visitors unique and thoughtful tours enhanced by well informed and friendly local guides. The commitment of the owners, Gail and Pete, to responsible tourism is readily self […]
Bicycle tour… sun on your face and the ocean breeze in your hair

Whales!!! and what a great way to see the beauty of the island
Great atmosphere, laid back sort of place and setup. I had a perfect day, very solid boat and professional guys to take you to a variety of islands for snorkeling, picnic and WHALE WATCHING… very WOW. Amazing clear blue water for snorkeling and a picture perfect beach to stop for a while. Surprisingly it’s run […]
Jumping whales

Amazing tours!
I’ve been on the bicicleta tour, whale-watching trip and 3-fortaleza kayaking tour of the island – all absolutely amazing and led with great professionalism by local guides. The bicicleta tour was a great way to explore the island, to see parts of it, such as the interior of the macuti town and the slavery memorial […]
Sail away
A friend had recommended Ilha Blue & there was also a brochure in my hotel. It was good to know the owners only employ local people & focus on local capacity building. I found all the staff to be knowledgeable, very pleasant & helpful, so I really enjoyed the time I spent with them. First […]
Great experience, great people
Such very nice people (both the owners and staff). Great day kayaking one day and sailing/whale watching another. Very knowledgeable about local history, sites, activities, etc. They also helped us arrange ground transportation from Pemba, a town a few hundred kilometers North of Ilha de Mocambique – much lower cost than flying, and much quicker […]
Worth checking out the activities
Offering activities in English and in Portuguese (at least), Ilha Blue is definitely the place to look for if you’re looking for official tours. Ilha Blue has various options for guided tours, including whale watching, bike tours and sunset cruises. My friends and I did the guided bike tour, having two hours of historical sight […]
The only business on the Island focused on activities!
Peter and Gail know the island and the area around, they know the people and they are willing to do whatever it takes to make sure your activity is top notch!! They even overcome nature. On a whale-watching cruise we happened to be in that short period of the year where the wind shifts from […]
Kayaking with Ilha Blue
We had the opportunity to go kayaking to the Forteleza and around the island and it was well worth it! The guide was knowledgeable and patient as it was our first time kayaking. Thank you Ilha Blue! Sarah Greenwood – Saskatchewan, Canada View this tour
Awesome sunset dhow sail!
Virtually any hotel or restaurant in Ilha de Moçambique displays brochures from Ilha Blue (well designed brochures and very informative, by the way!); I found one at Villa Sands and decided to give a call on a lazy, warm afternoon. Pete was so kind, invited my partner and I to drop by Ilha Blue’s office […]
Ilha das Cobras Trip

It was a really fun day with the guys working for Ilha Blue. You really get the full Ilha experience with them. From lounging around and swimming in the sea/lagoons, checking out fishes, eating an AMAZING local lunch, checking out the village. It was fantastic and I highly, highly recommend it. The guys and Gail […]
Great day trip on Ilha
Recently went on a fantastic day trip organised by Ilha Blue. Sailed on their lovely dhow to a natural lagoon where we swam and snorkelled. Afterwards we had a lovely lunch prepared for us, which we ate under a couple of enormous baobabs overlooking the sea. An interesting tour of the local village followed and […]
Kayaking and day trip to the beach
It was a great experience to do these two day trips with them and their excellent staff. During the kayaking and snorkelling I felt always safe and in good hands. And the day trip was a relaxing alternative to the day before where we did the kayaking. The food was really well made and the […]
Cruise ship visit – Three Fortalezas Kayak Tour
As a seasoned cruise passenger I take a great deal of trouble looking for alternatives to Cruise ship shore excursions when making port calls.

Friendly, relaxed people with some great activities
As the title says, Peter and Gail are a very friendly, relaxed couple (with a good crew too!) and we thoroughly enjoyed each of the activities we did with Ilha Blue. We had a few weeks on the island and so we had the time to make the most of what was on offer. We […]
Exquisite tour of Ilha das Cobras
This trip is the best thing I’ve done in Mocambique to date. It is truly a unique experience, and for us, the delightful surprises just kept coming, one after another. First a true sailing dhow trip (no motors around here!) with an approach to the island that could be successfully executed only with the high […]
Excellent adventures
Gail and Pete are excellent at what they do. We went kayaking around the island and also on the island safari. Both were absolutely brilliant. I cannot recommend IIha Blue enough. If you are going to Mozambique Island then you simply must visit IIha Blue and do some of their activities. It’s a great way […]
The best Ilha experience!
It wouldn’t have felt like we explored the island properly if we didn’t come across Ilha Blue. They offer unbelievable boat trips to a secluded island, fantastic snorkelling and kayaking options and plenty of original and unique tours to cater for everyone. Don’t leave this island until you speak with Gail! Had a fantastic time!! […]
The Best!

All the tours are really well organised and very affordable. The staff are professional and speak great English, while the meals on offer are of top quality. The management are […]
Authentic tours run by enthusiastic staff
I did 3 tours with Ilha Blue. The island bike tour, a day dhow cruise, and an unforgettable overnight trip to Ilha das Cobras. The beautifully restored dhow, named “Edna”, is a wonderful boat locally operated and maintained. Being at the mercy of tides and winds gives you a real feeling of “Africa time” when […]
Amazing adventures – MUST see
This is my second time exploring some of the trips which Ilha Blue has to offer and yet again I had an amazing time. We really enjoyed the kayaking tour, its a fantastic way to see the island. And then we also did an over-night camping dhow trip to Sete Paus Island, which was stunning. […]
Great little activity centre
I would definitely recommend the bicycle tour. Do this on the first morning after you arrive so you can get an idea of the island and the historical streets and buildings. I also went on the sunset dhow cruise which was also very good. If you’re lucky Gail might make her excellent pesto for the […]

Having seen a report on the trip out to Ilha das Cobras, we decided to give it a try, not quite knowing what to expect. Well, the experience was unlike anything we had done before. From meeting Gail and Pete the day before, to arriving back safely the day after, we were entranced with the […]
Great experience and nice people

Unwaning enthusiasm and fun!

This is a lovely operation, easily accessible from all hotels and hostels on the island, and run by a conscientious couple with a […]

Wonderful time seeing the whales and picnicking in paradise!

Gail even hooked me up with some antibiotic magic powder to cure my scabs from a previous knock. Thanks again! Joel – London View this tour
Marvellous Whale Watching
So many whales spotted that we lost the count! One even almost at our side, (it was a good feeling to be in a sturdy sailing boat that doesn´t agitate the enormous being). After all the whales, a nice swim and wonderful lunch under cooling shade, before sailing back. Overall a very nice experience to be […]
Our responsible tourism committment
In 2015 Ilha Blue will continue with our commitment to responsible tourism and that includes a promise to only employ people from Ilha de Mozambique. This keeps the money in the local economy so its good for the island, and it’s good for Islanders because it gives them a chance to build their skills and […]
The right place at the right tides
Ilha Blue’s overnight dhow trips to a small island called Ilha das Cobras, off the coast of the wonderfully bizarre Ilha do Mocambique, only happen for a few days of the month – when the tide is right. Ilha das Cobras is home to a tidal lagoon; a complex series of caverns that fill and […]
Great whale watching trip & bike tour

What a great time we had
