Day 2: The Russians’Bay > Nosy Iranja

The departure is given by the skipper according to his route of the day and the weather.

We head west and Nosy Iranja. The site is sumptuous. It consists of 2 wooded islands which meet at low tide by a winding bank of immaculate white sand. The view from the small lighthouse on the hill is enchanting.

Lunch under the straw huts on the beach. Snorkeling, swimming, walking. The ultimate cool day!

Evening on board downwind of the island.

  • Distance: 15 nautical miles

Day 3: Nosy Iranja > Nosy Tanikely > Nosy Komba

Long route today, and therefore an early start, perhaps before sunrise. 

We pass near the Pain de Sucre and south of Ankazoberavina. Direction due east towards the small island of Nosy Tanikely. This site is one of the marine parks of Madagascar. Swimming and relax. The boat is equipped with fins – mask and snorkel to discover corals, fish and turtles.

Day 4: Nosy Komba > Nosy Faly

This morning we disembark in the village of Ampangorinana, the capital of Komba. There are no cars or scooters here. It is a fishing village that lives to the rhythm of the tides and the few tourists who come for a walk. Small shops sell local crafts, embroidered tablecloths. Behind the village, macaco lemurs share the life of the inhabitants. We go to meet them.

Lunch in a small local restaurant. The meal will be based on fish, seafood and coconut rice.

Navigation to Nosy Faly.

Night on board between the peninsula and the island.

We are heading towards the Mitsio archipelago, about twenty nautical miles from Nosy Be.

Our next stopover will be longer than the previous ones since it is the small island of Tsarabanjia where you will spend the next three days

Before arriving at our destination, we pass very close to the “4 Frères”, rocks in the shape of beautiful breads of sugar, guardians of the Mitsio.
