Itinerary
This is an example itinerary suggested by the BeBlue skippers who are experts in the navigation area. The route can be planned on the needs of the group before departure or during navigation.
Day 1: Check-In
Check-in available from 5 p.m. at the embarkation Marina. After the technical check-in and a short presentation of the boat, you can take your seat in the cabins and board the galley before setting sail. We set sail towards Nosy Tanikely as first stop, where it is possible to visit the National Reservation, snorkeling and swimming with some friendly and colorful fishes, maybe also with marine tortoises. Next stop is Mamoke island, old colonial village, immersed inside the rainy forest, where you could find some giant tortoises slowly walking by your side.
Day 2
The first day will be a short navigation from Mamoke to Baie des Russes, or Russian Bay, a quiet bay to explore, getting in touch with the fauna and the rare Pygargue. Usually we organise a barbeque in this unpolluted beach.
Day 3
Next island is the private paradise Nosy Iranja, known as the 'Turtles islands', a place where turtles are protected and si riproducono; you could admire the emotional sight of the eggs deposition, also with the comany of some lemurs. This islands depicts the perfect spot for snorkeling, with seabottoms full of corals and wonderful marine creatures. It's also possible to meet whales and dolphins while you are swimming. Dinner served in a typical island place, the Nosy Iranja Lodge.
