Nosy Iranja Private Full-Day Island Escape

Sail to the twin paradises of Nosy Iranja — a white sandbar connecting two pristine islets — where turquoise shallows meet nesting sea turtles. This is Madagascar's most breathtaking postcard, experienced in full private luxury.

What to expect

Depart Nosy Be aboard a private speedboat, arriving at the legendary sandbar as morning light turns the water iridescent. Your guide leads a snorkel among hawksbill and green sea turtles, vivid reef fish and pristine coral. A freshly prepared Malagasy seafood lunch is served on the beach under palm shade. The return journey offers dolphin-spotting in the channel, making every minute count before all-aboard.

Good to know

Journey is approx. 1.5 hrs each way by speedboat; depart by 07:30 to maximise beach time and return comfortably before all-aboard. Pre-book well in advance — private charters sell out months ahead. Bring reef-safe sunscreen, a hat and light layers for the boat crossing.
