Itinerary summary
Overview
This itinerary offers an indulgent blend of tropical exploration and oceanfront serenity. Glide between islands known for their coral gardens, curious lemurs, and pristine beaches. Every anchorage delivers a sense of remoteness, complemented by fine dining, warm seas, and the unmistakable rhythm of Madagascar’s coastal life.
Nosy Be
Island of Perfumes
Begin your voyage in Nosy Be, often called the “Perfume Island” for its ylang-ylang and vanilla-scented air. Board your yacht at Hell-Ville Marina and settle into the calm rhythm of the sea. Spend the afternoon at Andilana Beach, swimming in crystalline waters or enjoying a cocktail as the sun sets over the horizon.
Nosy Komba
Island of Lemurs
Cruise south to Nosy Komba, a volcanic island surrounded by tranquil coves. Visit the lemur sanctuary and wander through the artisan village of Ampangorina, where handwoven baskets and embroidered linens are crafted by locals. Return to the yacht for snorkelling and a sunset dinner on deck beneath golden skies.
Nosy Tanikely
Underwater Paradise
Arrive at Nosy Tanikely, a marine reserve famed for its coral gardens and sea turtles. Dive into vibrant reefs alive with marine life, then relax on the island’s small beach for a picnic lunch. Climb to the old lighthouse for panoramic views before sailing onward as dusk paints the sea in deep blue.
Russian Bay
Hidden Anchorage of Tranquillity
Cruise to the serene Russian Bay, an untouched inlet ringed by jungle hills. The calm waters are perfect for kayaking and paddleboarding. Spend the day surrounded by birdsong and warm breezes, then enjoy a candlelit dinner onboard, listening to the gentle lap of waves beneath the hull.
Nosy Iranja
The Twin Isles
Cruise toward Nosy Iranja, a pair of islands linked by a white sandbar that appears at low tide. Walk barefoot along the glimmering strand, visit the old lighthouse, and watch sea turtles nesting on the beach. A beach barbecue awaits at sunset, followed by a peaceful evening anchored in calm turquoise waters.
Nosy Be
Farewell to Paradise
Sail back to Nosy Be, tracing the coastline’s lush hills and scattered islets. Enjoy a final leisurely brunch onboard before docking at Hell-Ville Marina. Bid farewell to the crew and carry with you the scent of salt and ylang-ylang — the lasting memory of Madagascar’s tropical elegance.
