The gateway to the magnificent Bazaruto Archipelago, the town has a great selection of restaurants and accommodation as well as a vibrant nightlife. The waters around Bazaruto are home to dolphins, manta rays, turtles, whales, and endangered dugongs, while its unspoilt coral reefs provide underwater enthusiasts with diving and snorkelling opportunities amidst the abundant species of marine life.
