Macaneta Day Tour

9 hours (approximately)
Pickup offered

We leave Maputo around 08:30/09:00 and head out for an easy 45-minute drive to Macaneta. As we leave the city behind, we pass by the famous Costa do Sol beach before continuing through the small town of Marracuene and crossing the new bridge over the Incomati River. Along the way the vibe slowly changes from busy city life to relaxed coastal scenary, with local villages, roadside markets, cattle around and plenty of nature.

Before arriving at the resort, we make a quick stop at the famous Macaneta Glass House (Casa de Vidro), built using recycled glass bottles and cement. It’s a cool and unique spot where you can explore the small museum and library and learn a bit about recycling and nature conservation. If we’re lucky, some monkeys and squirrels might be around to welcome us too.

Once at the resort, you can head down to the beach, relax, enjoy the sea breeze, grab some food and drinks, and take in the beautiful views over the river and ocean. Around 17:30 we head back to Maputo.

    As we arrive, you can already feel it.. fresh sea breeze, open space, and that nice Mozambican beach feeling. On the way up to the resort you’ll see local life, small towns, and coastal communities along the road, with cattle around and a very calm place. We’ll make a quick stop at the Macaneta Glass House (Casa de Vidro), built using recycled glass bottles and cement. a really cool and different spot. You can have a look around, check out the small museum and library, and learn a bit about global waste and ways to take better care of nature. If we’re lucky, some monkeys and squirrels might be hanging around the Glass House, resort and restaurant area to welcome us too. Once at the resort, you can head down to the beach right by the restaurant, chill, grab some food, and enjoy the view. The resort sits right between the Incomati River and the Indian Ocean.
