Itinerary description
We start from Sagando guest house in Michamvi, two hours before the high tide. From there we went to the main Michamvi beach, and walk on the sand toward north.
We took our time observing the sea birds and the fishermen with our googles, staring at the puddles watching if there was someone down there : weird worms, crabs (in the puddles & hiding in the coral caves)...
Then we had a break at the very northern end of Pingwe and did snorkeling for few hours. It was worth it ! since it is where the tourist boats are coming to do snorkeling with their customers : many starfishes, corals, clown fishes, parrot fishes, great pipefishes...), just watch out the sea urchins when you get inside the water !
Then we took a daladala to get back from Pingwe to Michamvi.
Enjoy !
