Dolphins and whales of Ponto D'Ouro
Ponta D’ Ouro - The Point of Gold. Situated on the southern most point of Mozambique only seven hours from Johannesburg and four hours from Durban. Ponta D’ Ouro is a holiday Mecca that is gaining more and more popularity with tourists. Offering a diverse number of activities, the quaint little town of Ponta is not only home to a rather interactive community of bottlenose with whom the organizer has been working with now since 95, but also hosts some of the continents most sought after dive sites. The winter months see the migration of the humpback whales and often the surfs raging a point break for the surfer dudes.
We have managed to develop
and provide holidays to Ponta D’ Ouro with a difference; from swimming with
dolphins, to scuba diving, surfing unbelievable barrels or just taking it easy
on our pristine, unspoilt white beaches. Nights can be spent partying the hours
away (in season) or simply relaxing around the fire. The choice is yours!
