YACHTING IN MADAGASCAR OPTION 2

Itinerary

Nosy Be… where dreams become reality
 
The exotic scents of vanilla and ylang-ylang saturate the air to provide the perfect setting on the sun kissed white beaches of Nosy Be.

This unspoiled tropical island, situated off the North West coast of Madagascar, is ideal for numerous luxurious adventures including island hopping, fishing snorkelling, scuba diving and sailing in the crisp breeze. Other islets include the nearby diving retreat of Nosy Sakatia, Nosy Komba’s small fishing village ripe with a rich population of black lemurs and Nosy Tanikely’s natural marine reserve boasting a profusion of sea life.

Further north lays the Mitsios, a jewel-like archipelago with sparkling and abundant marine life. To the south of Nosy Be lies the Radamas with many small islands dotted along crystal clear blue waters.
