- For keen blue-water fishermen, the vertical drop-off beyond the reef teams with predator fish including sailfish, marlin, tuna, giant trevelly and wahoo. For fly-fishermen, 12 different species of fish have been caught on fly to date.
- Guided or solo kayaking adventures are available through the mangroves and shallow reefs. Vamizi Island also has 2 shaded dhows, which are anchored off-shore close to some of the best snorkeling spots. Armed simply with a generous picnic and a radio, guests can be dropped off for a few hours of idyllic privacy and isolation.
