Inhaca is a paradise for scuba diving, along with water sports like waterskiing, parasailing, windsurfing, sea kayaking and sailing, along with big-game fishing and more relaxing activities like sunset cruises. The island is ringed with beautiful beaches, and visitors can also take a boat across to the deserted Portuguese Island. The resort has a tennis court and swimming pool, and excursions can be arranged to the biology station, light house beach, the mangrove swamps, as well as the Santa Maria Wall. There are a few villages to visit as well.

Portuguese is the official language, and there are 13 main national languages spoken. English is taught in secondary schools, but is only spoken in the southern tourist regions.
