如何抵達

By car By car, follow the paved road from Inhambane through some 30 km of pretty scenery to get to Tofo Beach. The road is generally badly potholed along the entire route so either drive slowly or stay behind a chappa to avoid them. Tofo is about 6 hr drive north of Maputo. If coming from the north, Tofo is a 5-hr drive from Vilanculos.

Fatima's operates a daily minibus in between Fatima's backpacker in Maputo and Fatima's backpacker in Tofo (from Tofo to Maputo, the bus also stops at the bus terminal da Junta in Maputo).

From Inhambane An other option is to go to Inhambane by bus (see Inhambane#By bus) and then to take a chapa. The duration is between 20 and 30 min. As of October 2025, the price is MT25 (+ MT25 for a "big bag", but the definition of "big" depends on the drivers, and even if you have a small bag you put on your legs, they will try to charge you for it. So try to have the exact amount of money if you just have a small bag (MT 25), give it and leave the bus. Note that you can also take a taxi. The price as of October 2025 is about MT1100 for a taxi from Inhambane to Tofo.

體驗活動

Diving and snorkelling Tofo and surrounds have some truly excellent diving, with nice reefs and excellent large marine life. Whale sharks and humpback whales in season, reef sharks and much other sea life. Don't miss Manta Reef, home of three cleaning stations where the critters really throng. Most of the better dive sites are at around 25-30 m, requiring deep-dive certification (which you can get through one of the dive shops if you don't have it already). Visibility is usually pretty good at around 20 m. Brace yourself for the unique landing upon return from diving - the shops here all gun it and beach the inflatable speed boats at full speed.

美食

If you are self-catering buying fresh prawns and crayfish is simple - local fishermen will pass by most cottages every morning. A fair price is 100 MT/kg for prawns and 150 MT/kg for crayfish. Beware of broken scales over-reading, it is a good idea to test them with a known weight like a 1 kg bottle of water. The Restaurante Ferroviara offers a fairly good range of seafood dishes. Casa Barry. Restaurant with a great wooden terrace overlooking the sea. Selection of international wines, also the only restaurant that is computerized, ensuring speed when asking for your bill. Has accommodation. Dino's Bar and Restaurant. midway between Fatima's Nest and Bamboozi Backpackers. A beach party spot with a roofed-off open-air bar. They do some decent food including good pizza. Bonfires on the beach at night. Black and White, (in a shed at the market). Offers local food for local prices. Will prepare fish purchased at the market for a small charge.

Good restaurant if you have your own transport. Turtle Cove, (a 10-min walk on the road from Tofo to Inhambane). The food is prepared one meal at a time, so if you order as part of a group you'll probably all get your food at different times. It's excellent food, though, so worth it. They also have a nicely stocked bar. Open air dining room/bar area. Go early and enjoy a beer and t

飲品與夜生活

Bottled water is widely available in Tofo, there is a clean source of local drinking water. You can buy your own beer from the shops on the road to Inhambane if you want to save a little money. When buying beer try to get cans rather than bottles, most bars and taverns will ask you not to take bottles away or you can pay a deposit on it. These deposits are hard to get back as vendors seldom have money to pay you or just aren't willing and will coax you into accepting a trade. Going to taverns on the outskirts of town on Sunday
