Run, ride, stretch, play — practical ways to stay active while exploring the city.

Two fast ways to plug into the scene.

Popular picks: Ilha do Cabo & Marginal. Start early for cooler weather.

It’s more than a question — it’s a quiet conviction. Street races, sunrise runs along the bay, gyms that buzz at dusk, and communities building something bigger than workouts.

Here, you’ll find more than events. From joyful community runs to calm mornings on a golf range — Luanda moves.

Tap to spin…

  • Check event posts on Fridays for weekend runs/rides; arrive 10–15 min early if you’re new.
  • Say hi to a group leader; groups are welcoming and will match your pace.
  • Hydration, sunscreen and a cap go a long way — heat and humidity can spike.
  • Prefer popular routes (Ilha / Marginal) and go with a buddy the first times.
  • Carry ID, water and some AOA cash; avoid showing high-value items.
  • Cooler hours: sunrise and late afternoon. Check wind/temperature beforehand.
  • Surf & SUP: check local wind and swell before going out.
  • Yoga sunset: many studios accept drop-ins — message on WhatsApp/IG.
  • Cacimbo (Jun–Sep): cooler vibe; indoor options are great backups.
