Nosy Komba
Nosy Komba is a small volcanic island located between Nosy Be and the mainland. It is known for its fishing villages, local crafts and the presence of lemurs, which live in the island’s vegetation and are one of the most loved attractions for visitors.
The island is often also called “the island of lemurs”. During the visit, you can walk through the village, see stalls with embroidery, tablecloths, wooden sculptures and products made by local artisans. It is an interesting stop to discover a little of the island’s daily life and buy small souvenirs directly from the inhabitants.
The visit to Nosy Komba combines nature, animals and local life: it is not only a photo stop, but also a simple way to experience the atmosphere of the island’s villages.
Nosy Tanikely
Nosy Tanikely is a small protected island and one of the best-known marine reserves in the Nosy Be area. It is famous for its clear sea, beach, seabeds rich in colorful fish and the possibility of snorkeling in a beautiful natural environment.
The name Tanikely means “small land”. The island is especially appreciated by sea lovers because it allows you to snorkel close to the beach, without needing to be an expert. With a mask and fins, you can observe tropical fish, corals and, with a little luck, also sea turtles.
In addition to snorkeling, Nosy Tanikely is also suitable for those who want to relax on the beach, take a short walk or enjoy a peaceful day between sea and nature.
