Nosy Iranja & Nosy Antsoha
Full day
If you were going to imagine a perfect tropical island, it might look like Nosy Iranja. Turquoise seas, white sand beaches. It is truly beautiful here. Two islands connected by a sand spit at low tide, you can swim in the clear waters, visit the fishermen's village or walk to the lighthouse for a breathtaking view.
Nosy Tanikely
Full day
Famed for its excellent snorkelling, Nosy Tanikely is well worth a visit. This small and charming volcanic island has a protected marine area with schools of colourful fish and hawksbill turtles. More wildlife sightings are possible on land. Walk up to the lighthouse and you can often see the resident lemurs and flying foxes living in the treetops.
Nosy Be
Half or full day
The big island offers a wide range of opportunities, from immersing yourself in local culture to getting active with horse riding and quad biking. The main town of Hellville is a melting pot of sights and sounds, and a trip to the market and port lets you experience the warmth and friendliness of the Malagasy people.
