Highlights

Nosy's Iran is truly a fairytale place. It really is the kind of place most of us have only seen advertised in luxury travel catalogues or in nature films. If you would like to visit such a place and have a guaranteed a lifetime experience, you can make your dream come true with us now at an incredibly affordable price. We'll provide you with your own guide who will be with you all day to make sure you don't miss a thing and that you can fully enjoy all the wonders of Iranja. Such as the magical snow-white sandbar at low tide between the 2 small islands, with a 1.5 km long beach of white, soft coral sand that stretches long into the ocean on one side. Or snorkelling on the other side to the sprawling, colourful coral reef, full of blooming corals, millions of colourful fish and gentle, friendly sea turtles, but even dolphins are not rare guests here! You can meet the friendly local natives in their fishing village, and for lunch, and indeed for the whole day, you'll be their guests.

  2. Nosy Iranja is truly a unique place of unearthly beauty! On arrival, guests are usually speechless by the stunning scenery and atmosphere. It is a natural wonder unlike any other in the world. Iranja is an island that at high tide is divided into two islands (small and large Iranja), which at low tide are joined by a magnificent, wide snow-white sandbar. On our day trip, you can enjoy the snow-white coral sands of Iranja and the supernatural beauty of the coastline. We take a short jungle walk to the island's lighthouse, designed by Gustave Eiffel. You can enjoy snorkeling, sunbathing on the snow white sandbar out to your liking. On one side the fine soft coral sand stretches hundreds of meters into the azure blue ocean, on the other side there is a sprawling coral reef with an abundance of sea turtles and a cavalcade of colourful fish. At Iranja, we are guests of the indigenous village, where we are served a real Malagasy lunch in the shade of the village's coconut palms.

About Nosy Be

Nosy Be is a hot, green island off the north-west coast of Madagascar, known for beaches, perfume plants, lemurs and reefs.

Nosy Be lies in the Mozambique Channel off the north-west coast of Madagascar. It is the country's best-known beach island, a place of crater lakes, forest, sugar-cane fields and plantations of ylang-ylang, whose flowers have given it the name Perfume Island.
