Experience at a glance

Sea day: snorkelling in Tanikely marine park, visit of the Sakalava craft village and encounter with black lemurs on Komba.

Two islands, two atmospheres

From local crafts to the reefs.

Komba and Tanikely complement each other: a wooded, inhabited island and a stop in the marine park. The order of visits adapts to the day.

Ashore in Komba’s village

The village stop adds another dimension to the trip. Leave the boat behind and walk among houses, embroidered cloths and craft stalls at the foot of the island’s wooded slopes.

Plan your outing

A day between the village and the reefs

The day brings together Tanikely’s marine life and Nosy Komba’s village. Boat crossings alternate with snorkelling, exploring the village and time on the beach. The order of the stops adapts to the day, with time to enjoy both islands along the way.

Prepare for the crossings and snorkelling

The boat journeys take around an hour and a half in total. Depending on your chosen option, travel with other visitors or in a private boat. Snorkelling equipment and towels are not included, so discuss what you need with Ginot when planning the trip.
