Russian Bay (also known as Ambavatory Bay)

Nosy Iranja (Island of Turtles)
The larger and inhabited of the two islands, Nosy Iranja and Nosy Iranja Kely are connected by a 1.5 km long sand bar, negotiable on foot at low tide.

Iranja is a breeding reserve for hawksbill turtles.

Mahalina
You will spend time here relaxing in the beautiful surroundings, or kayaking up the mangrove swamps. The area is great for snorkelling, fishing and spear-fishing. We may use A-frame bungalows on Mahalina, instead of camping.

Lokobe reserve
A protected reserve, Lokobe offers wildlife galore with the likelihood of you spotting several lemur species, colourful chameleons and maybe a snake or two amid the forest!

Nosy Tanikely
A marine reserve teeming with underwater flora and fauna, allowing the chance for some superb snorkeling in warm waters with great visibility.
