About this activity

The Tanikely Marine Reserve's coral reef has been selected as one of the 10 most beautiful snorkelling sites on Earth!

Not to mention the magnificent snow-white sandy beaches and the beauty of the jungle that covers the island.

On the breathtaking coral reef of Tanikely, we offer snorkelling or even a 10–15-minute real scuba diving experience by our special, 1 Liter mini scuba tanks!

Our guests with their tour guide can easily experience the thrill of floating directly above the coral reefs in a cavalcade of colourful tropical fish, or swimming for minutes with a sea turtle, even without a diving licence.

With our braver guests in a one-hour trek we walk around this small jewel island and admire the black sandy and rocky coast on the other side of the island.

During the day we will also visit the lighthouse which gives an amazing view to the surrounding archipelago and to Madagascar.

The trip includes a delicious Malagasy lunch on the coast in the shade of coconut palms.
