Inhaca Island is a 60-minute speedboat ride from Maputo. It’s small, with less than 5000 inhabitants. Roam around the island, soak up the sun, have chats with locals and enjoy a delicious seafood meal while sipping on a cold beer or cocktail. PS: Locals are friendly, it’s a Mozambican thing 😊FAQ:Where do I find a speedboat?Maputo Harbour - however, you are required to prebook your trip.
