Nature
Antsiranana Bay stretches nearly 20 kilometers north to south along Madagascar's northeastern coast. Its narrow entrance shelters the water from the strong Indian Ocean winds, making it a great spot to enjoy calm seas and scattered headlands.

AfternoonNosy Lonjo
Nature · 8.5 km from the previous stop
This cone-shaped volcanic island rises from Diego Suarez Bay, its striking silhouette visible even from afar. Home to baobab trees and colonies of bats, it holds Sakalava royal tombs and is considered sacred, so landing on it is taboo.
