Dhow cruise
If you visit the town, don’t miss the following culture sights: the almost 200 year old Cathedral of Our Lady of Conception, the Governor’s Palace, the Municipal buildings, and the museum. As the town is set on the bay of Inhambane, you should go to the harbour, where you can enjoy a drink whilst watching the dhows cruise across the bay. You can hire a dhow to sail you around the bay or up to the Linga Linga Nature Reserve.
