The boat crossing only takes about 10 -15 minutes and picnic lunches can be arranged from Inhaca Lodge. Portuguese Island has beautiful beaches and the lagoon area is great for all manner of water sport's. The snorkeling is also fairly good.
Santa Maria Wall (also known as Ponte Torres) is quite far from Pestana Inhaca Lodge, on the other side of the island. The boat trip takes approximately 45 minutes each way. This is actually a reef, which is really great for "drift" dives or snorkeling. The "wall" is a rocky ledge that falls steeply down to 20 meters. Best dived leading up to high tide; the jagged rocks have many caves and ledges that harbour all kinds of marine life.
There is also a small village to provide some local colour or souvenir hunting. Inhaca Island is a true African Island, and an ideal weekend getaway with great appeal.
