Known as the Island of Perfumes, Nosy Be is located in northwest Madagascar, between the Radames and Mitsio archipelagos. Famous for its beautiful beaches, it hosts rich terrestrial and marine biodiversity. With 300 days of sunshine a year, Nosy Be is perfect for various activities from March to January: water sports, excursions, nature exploration, fishing, and hiking.
A stunning variety of marine life awaits you! From hard and soft corals to benthic and pelagic species, there’s something for every diver: brain corals, gorgonians, turtles, damselfish, trumpetfish, octopus, prawns, parrotfish, moray eels, stingrays, sharks, and much more. If you’re lucky and visit in the right season, you may even encounter majestic oceanic manta rays, whale sharks, humpback whales, or Omura whales.
