Diving into the Outer Reef
Amanwana Bay is a pristine marine reserve with a variety of dive sites that are as remote as they are beautiful. With the entire coastline of Moyo Island formally recognised as a conservation area, there is no better place to observe underwater life in a protected setting. The Amanwana Dive Centre caters to all levels of experience, with the option to gain PADI certification during a stay.
Stargazing Cruise & Sound Healing Under the Stars
A magical experience for all ages, Amanwana’s stargazing cruise ventures just a short distance out into the bay on the resort’s traditional wooden outrigger Aman XIV. Out at sea, the captain turns off the engine and allows the boat to serenely drift beneath the dazzling canopy of stars. While soaking in the awe-inspiring natural surroundings, enjoy drinks and refreshments on the roof of the boat.
