A unique and unforgettable experience that allows people to know the amazing beach of Ponta de Ouro with fresh and clear water. For who wants to swim with wild dolphins in their natural habitat, it will be an amazing experience. Instead of observing dolphins from a distance in captivity, these swims provide an opportunity for individuals to have a more intimate, immersive and conservative experience with these intelligent and playful marine creatures. This trip includes a dolphin swim and a shallow reef snorkel to spot turtles, rays and tropical marine fish. The total duration is approximately 2h45* minutes, which includes a 2 hour long boat trip - depending on the sightings and behaviour of the dolphins.

It was an incredible experience. I'd like to go back there again. I wish I could explain it in words, but I can't. It was wonderful.
A super amazing day to see the beautiful Ponta de Ouro. Benny and Dércio came on time and the whole trip was just good vibes, it didn’t feel like a tour but more like a trip with your friends! Ponta de Ouro is stunning! Definitely a must see in Mozambique! 5 star experience for sure
We had a fantastic time on our tour from Maputo to Ponta de Oura. Carina was our guide and made the entire trip memorable with great insights into the city of Maputo doing a mini tour before we left for Ponta de Ouro. Nothing was too much trouble for Carina to arrange for us, including a great lunch and time on the beach after the boat trip to see dolphins, whales and need turtles.
I am grateful!
Our Guide Carina really made the day special. She has a lot of enthusiasm and knows so much about Mozambique. The trip down to Ponto do Ouro was lovely and then at the beach she took great care of us. The dolphin and whale watching was lovely. The water was too choppy to swim with the dolphins but we saw them and we saw humpback whales breaching. It was beautiful. She guided us to a lovely place for lunch and let us enjoy the beatiful beach while also providing great cultural and historic information about Maputo and Mozambique.
Thank you very much for chosing us 🙏🏾
Carina was a great guide, she had thought of all the details and was happy to tailor the experience to my needs. The beach at ponta de oro is stunning. Carina takes care of shade, lunch and made sure I got on to the dolphin swimming trip. It was fantastic. It was also interesting to learn more about Mozambique from Carina during our drive to and from ponta de oro. I really enjoyed this trip and highly recommend Carina. I hope I can book another trip with her soon.
Thank you for your amazing company ❤️. It was my pleasure
Carina was a brilliant guide, polite, friendly and punctual. She supplied snacks, wifi and gave me a great overview of the city of Maputo and along the drive to the beach through the National Park. She always made sure I was OK and found a great spot for lunch and a few beers on the beach. I ended up using her again the next day on another tour as she made me feel so at home. Thanks for everything!!!
Carine was an outstanding guide and host. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with her and our tour. We highly recommend her to others.
A great day at the beach. Carina came to pick me up from my hotel as planned. And she was attentive all day. The road crosses the National Park and the early departure allowed us to come across many wild animals, including majestic giraffes just a stone's throw from the car. The previous days Carina had sent me a list of possible activities in Ponta de Oro to make the stay even more pleasant. The restaurant chosen on the beach was great. In shorts, a perfect day!

Mozambique is am amazing country and people are very kind and Benny was its great representative . She speaks great English , knows a lot about the country and is a great driver . I was solo so the car was big enough for me . I arrived by a ship in Maputo, Benny picked me up just outside the port and after a city tour we went to Ponta do Ouro. The road is brand new and beautiful , you will cross the National reserve and I was lucky to see zebras, monkeys and even a Giraffe just by the side of the road . I stayed one night in Ponta as I wanted to go swimming with dolphins , and the tours go out usually very early . Unfortunately by the time we found them , somebody got sick so we had to go back on shore . It means I will definitely need to come back again .
The driver should be at the rendezvous point at 9 a.m. Shortly before, I was told that the car was broken and I had to change it. 10 o'clock it would start. 10:15 a.m. the driver was not on site and I asked again where he was. Then he said he wouldn't come back at all because the car was irreparable. But the employee of the company assured me that the driver should come. 10:30 a.m., only then did the employee say she would send another driver to arrive later. That was enough and I annoyed/angry cancelled the tour. Even the free alternative tour in Maputo city could not save that. Because of the disappointment, no offer could have embellished this day. Not recommended!!!
