• Considered one of the ten most beautiful islands in the world, Nosy Iranja is one and a half hours from Nosy Be by speedboat. The island comprises two small islands, Small Iranja and Great Iranja, connected by a white sandbank visible at low tide. With its turquoise waters, the island has a genuine paradise feel. It is home to sea turtles, which come there to lay eggs, hence its nickname, Turtle Island. Nosy Iranja also has a large population of seabirds, including terns and marine eagles.
• After your picnic lunch on the beach under the shade of coconut trees, you can also visit the lighthouse on Great Iranja Island and the village of Iranja.

• Breakfast at the hotel and departure for Lokobe Reserve. Lokobe is the last primary forest of Nosy Be, with numerous medicinal and endemic plants and its millennial trees. For these reasons, Lokobe attracts many scientists every year. Beyond that, it also has rich fauna, including nocturnal and diurnal lemurs (Macaco and Lepilemurs), snakes, chameleons, insects, and tropical birds.
• You will be transferred by car to the village of Ambatozavavy; from there, you will embark on a traditional boat or motorboat along the mangroves to access the reserve.

Overnight at the hotel.

• You will embark on a mini-cruise aboard a catamaran to enjoy two islands near Nosy Be.
• Your first stop is Nosy Komba, the second-biggest island in the area after Nosy Be. It is a traditional fishermen's village with a handicraft market where you can shop for sculptures and traditional tablecloths. Nosy Komba is also famous for its small lemur park.
• Afterwards, you will reach Nosy Tanikely, a marine reserve that shelters multi-coloured fish, corals, anemones, and even sea turtles. Snorkelling (equipment provided) in Nosy Tanikely is a truly unique experience, as one feels inside a real-life aquarium. After the snorkelling session, the seafood picnic lunch will take place on the catamaran.

• After breakfast, go to Nosy Sakatia. Barely touched by modernity, Nosy Sakatia is the most authentic island of Nosy Be and has since become a protected site.
• With your local guide, you will discover the interior of Nosy Sakatia during a one-and-a-half-hour trek. Sakatia's many riches include a superb diversity of tree species: flamboyants, coffee, pepper plants, vanilla, mangoes, guava, raphia, and more.
• You will also be able to share the culture and traditional activities of the local villagers throughout your visits.
• Depending on the tide, you can swim with the turtles in the morning or afternoon. You will need the exact excursion date to check the tide.
