Where to see sharks in Mozambique
About this list
A common trap when looking for places to see sharks in Mozambique is a trip sold as if the sighting were certain. Maptlantis lists only operators that name the shark as a target species, 8 of them. Places that only mention a chance sighting are left out. Regions on record: Bazaruto Archipelago, Inhambane, Maputo & Ponta do Ouro and Ponta do Ouro. Encounters are split into swimming, snorkeling, boat-based watching, scuba diving and land-based watching. Two "shark tours" can differ completely in rules and price when one watches from the boat and the other puts you in the water. 6 of the 8 operators (75%) publish prices on their own channels, so you can compare those directly; ask the rest. Estimated prices are not shown. Operators list different seasons, May–Sep, Jun–Apr (peak Oct–Mar) and Jun–Oct among them. There is no single season for Mozambique, so check each operator's operating period before you set your dates. No operator can guarantee a wildlife sighting, and rules on approach distance and in-water permits differ by country.

Frequently asked questions
Where can you see sharks in Mozambique?
8 operators name the shark as a target species. Main regions: Bazaruto Archipelago, Inhambane, Maputo & Ponta do Ouro and Ponta do Ouro.
Do you have to get in the water to see sharks?
Formats on record: swimming, snorkeling, boat-based watching, scuba diving and land-based watching. Boat-based watching stays on the boat; snorkeling, swimming and freediving put you in the water. Some countries ban getting in the water altogether, so check the format in the program details.
When is shark season?
Operators list different seasons, May–Sep, Jun–Apr (peak Oct–Mar) and Jun–Oct among them. There is no single season for Mozambique, so check each operator's operating period before you set your dates.
Will I definitely see them?
No. Sharks are wild animals, and whether you meet them depends on their movements and the sea. Maptlantis does not use wording that promises a sighting, and cancellation and refund terms follow each operator's policy.
