Nosy Be: Mitsio Archipelago 6-Day Cruise with Meals｜Madagascar

Day 1: Nosy Tanikely and Nosy Komba

Arrive aboard at the port of the Crater. After your installation, leave the anchorage to head towards your first port of call, the marine park of Tany Kely. This small island located in front of Nosy Be is a protected reserve. It is a real aquarium that can be explored by snorkeling or diving. Enjoy the beautiful beach and see makis in the trees. After lunch, set sail and head for Nosy Komba, the island of lemurs. Depending on your arrival time, visit the "lemur park" and take a short walk through the village where you will find a large selection of local crafts.

Day 2: Nosy Komba, Tsarabanjina, and Grand Mitsio

Leave Nosy Komba very early in the morning to reach the famous island of Tsarabanjina in the late morning. A real postcard, this very pretty little island offers you its magnificent white sand beaches. Snorkeling enthusiasts can also easily explore the many coral "potatoes" teeming with life all around the boat. At noon, weigh anchor and set sail to your anchorage in Marimbe Bay, which is a very safe and well-protected shelter for the night. Take a short sunset ride for those who want to take advantage of your arrival time at the anchorage.

Day 3: Grand Mitsio and Ankarea

Leave the Grande Mitsio after breakfast for a very short navigation to Nosy Ankaréa where you will spend the day. This island is bordered by a beautiful white sand beach on crystal clear water. Anchor a few meters from the beach and take the opportunity to do a beautiful snorkeling before going to the beaches. For the more courageous, Ankaréa also offers the possibility of a small hike (a bit acrobatic!) up to its summit where you discover an astonishing green valley covered with aloe vera. At noon, return to your peaceful anchorage in the bay of Marimbe to spend the night there.

Day 4: Grand Mitsio and Nosy Lava

Leave the Grande Mitsio in the morning to reach your northernmost port of call, Nosy Lava, at the end of the morning. This island with its wild beauty is divided into 2 parts by a sand barrier. Enjoy the beautiful deserted beaches dotted with seashells. On land, a few rough huts and fish-drying rooms bear witness to the passage of nomadic fishermen. Snorkel on the reefs and see the abundance of fish. Stay on Nosy Lava to spend a quiet night well ventilated by the thermal wind.

Day 5: Nosy Lava and Sakatia

Leave the anchorage in the morning for a day of sailing and navigation that takes you to Nosy Sakatia, a charming little island located just in front of Nosy Be that you will reach in the afternoon. Depending on your arrival time, take a walk across the island. Spend a peaceful night at the anchorage of Nosy Sakatia.

Day 6: Sakatia and Nosy-Be
Enjoy a quiet morning in Nosy Sakatia. Depending on the tide, a snorkeling session is planned during the day to swim among the large sea turtles that come to graze the seagrass.
