Nosy Iranja is also a renowed place to watch imbricated and green turtles lay eggs. We might also have the opportunity to observe dolphins, whales and whale-sharks depending on the season.

A paradise island that you can visit and enjoy for two days and a night, sleeping in a small village under the shadow of coconut trees and filaos.

You will sleep in small traditionnal bungalows by the sea facing the wide ocean. The rest of the facilities will be shared.

To make this moment even more special, our team will offer you an aperitif on the beach. It's the perfect time to enjoy a fruit juice or caipirinha made with Madagascar rum and the famous natural, fragrant limes. The meals we offer are essentially based on seafood products, not forgetting Madagascan zebu, which is also on the menu.

You will spend the night in small traditional bungalows, with your feet in the water and a view out to sea. Sanitary facilities are shared. If you wish, we can wake you up during the night in the event of a nesting or emergence of small turtles.

Out at sea in shoals of several dozen individuals or close to the coast in small groups, you will most certainly have the opportunity to come across humpback dolphins, stenellas or bottlenose dolphins.
