Getting there

Boat

From Maxixe, head to the Maxixe ferry terminal located on the waterfront. Look for a boat heading to Inhambane. The ferry operates frequently, but it's best to check the schedule. Once you board, enjoy a scenic ride across the bay, which typically takes about 30 minutes. When you arrive at the Inhambane terminal, disembark and follow signs for local transportation options.

Local Minibus (Chapa)

Upon arriving at the Inhambane terminal, look for the local minibuses (known as 'chapas') that travel to Tofo Beach. These minibuses are usually parked near the terminal. Confirm with the driver that the chapa is going to Tofo. The journey from Inhambane to Tofo Beach takes approximately 30 to 40 minutes. The chapas are a cost-effective way to travel, but be prepared for a local experience—these vehicles can get crowded.

Walking

Once you arrive at Tofo Beach via the chapa, you can walk to the beach area. If you are dropped off at the main road, follow the signs that lead toward the beach. It’s a short walk of about 10-15 minutes. As you approach, you’ll see the beautiful beach and local establishments along the way where you can stop for refreshments.
