You are on Vamizi Island, an isolated and remote luxury resort island lying in the Quirimbas Archipelago, which is probably the last stretch of East African coastline where the marine environments and beaches are very rarely visited by westerners. This full day blue water and reef spearfishing trip will take you to the pristine reefs that surround Vamizi Island and the adjacent Metundo Canyon.

The wildlife is superb, consisting of Green and Hawksbill Turtles, several species of Dolphins, countless coastal bird species, rare Coconut Crabs that are otherwise extinct in East Africa, pristine reefs and fish life, and the rare Dugong. From July through September, the islands are also home to migrating Humpback Whales.

Departure is from the resort’s dive centre and is accompanied by a competent and experienced spearfishing guide. During this highly selective fishing trip, targeted species are a list of pelagic and selected demersal game fish, such as Wahoo, King Mackerel, Giant Trevally, Sailfish, Snappers, Emperors, Jobfish, Yellowfin Tuna, and the mighty Dogtooth Tuna. Resident reef fish and rare species that are highly important to the health of the ecosystem are not targeted.
A light lunch, snacks and refreshments are provided on board.
