One of Madagascar’s greatest treasures lies beneath the sea. For ocean lovers, staying at Villa Jongoa in Nosy Be makes it easy to reach, on a day trip, one of the most beautiful marine reserves in the Indian Ocean: Nosy Tanikely.
A protected marine area, this small island with crystal-clear waters is a biodiversity sanctuary. Whether you are a certified diver or simply enjoy snorkelling (mask, fins and snorkel), a trip from Villa Jongoa promises unforgettable memories.
A giant aquarium
Reached by boat from the south of Nosy Be, Nosy Tanikely is explored on a day trip from Villa Jongoa. There is no need to go deep to see abundant marine life. Colourful coral gardens shelter countless species: clownfish, sea turtles, eagle rays, and sometimes even dolphins swimming alongside the boats.
The water is so clear that visibility often exceeds 30 metres, making every dive magical. For Villa Jongoa guests, we recommend an early-morning trip (on reservation, at extra cost), when the sea is calm and the light is ideal for underwater photography.
The comfort of Villa Jongoa after the effort
The advantage of choosing a villa like Villa Jongoa for your dives is the comfort of coming back. After exploring the reefs, nothing beats returning to your private estate.
Back at Villa Jongoa, relax in your private pool while waiting for dinner. The cook can also prepare a meal to help you recover.
Organising your dive trip
Not sure how to organise the outing? We put you in touch with a local dive operator who provides the guide and equipment. The trip is on reservation, at extra cost.
Experiencing the magic of Nosy Tanikely while enjoying the comfort and privacy of Villa Jongoa means a holiday that combines adventure and refinement. Contact us to book your stay and discover the hidden treasures of Nosy Be.
