This promises to be one of the wildest, windiest and waviest trips of the entire expedition. Some of the finest waves in the world at the peak of the swell season will fill our first few days in Madagascar, then we'll head 450 miles west across the Mozambique channel (possibly via Bassas de India atoll) to Inhambane, Mozambique where a turquoise bay of waves and stunning diving await. "Thanks to its sheltered azure waters, long stretches of white sand, easy access to fine diving, charming town, traditional dhows silhouetted against the setting sun, and superb breaks Tofo and Tofinho (Inhambane) are a must-stop on the Mozambique coast."-- Lonely Planet. The area boasts some of the most stunning stretches of sand on earth.

From Inhambane we'll sail 100 miles north to the Bazaruto archipelago. Much of it is a preserve and hosts shoals of colorful tropical fish, pristine white sand beaches and from satellite views, some insane lagoon kiting.

If possible, take some time before and after this trip to explore inland both in Madagascar and Mozambique. Take your pick among the many national parks, reserves, paragliding on the dunes...the possibilities are endless.

Please note: Madagascar and Mozambique have a high Malaria risk and you'll need some immunizations like Typhoid and Yellowfever before you enter. You may also need a visa. Please check with the CDC well before your trip for health risks and check Visa HQ for visa needs. Also, it's a bit cooler down here than what we've been used to- bring some warmer cloths and a thin wetsuit.
