Madagascar is a large island located in the Indian Ocean. All around this main island, we can discover small islands that have become real tourist attractions over time. Let's discover in this compilation 5 of these small islands, all different from each other.

Sainte Marie, the green jewel

In the first place of our compilation, we find the island of Sainte Marie, a green jewel implanted in the east of the big island. Renowned for its fishing villages and white sand beaches, Sainte Marie also holds a great reputation thanks to the Whale Festival during the month of July. During this annual event, tourists flock to the locality to come and watch the marine mammals give birth to their young for a limited period.

Nosy Be, the little paradise

Just north-west of the big island is Nosy Be, a little terrestrial paradise accessible by dhow. Several seaside resorts adapted to luxury tourism are erected there. In addition to the richness of its fauna and flora, Nosy Be is also known for its unique seabed, coral and reef fish. Scientists call it a sanctuary of nature, where endemic species have found refuge.

Nosy Iranja, the only one of its kind

Nosy Iranja is an unique small island, recently known for its idyllic atoll linking two islets: Nosy Iranja Be and Nosy Iranja Kely. It is located 1h30 from Nosy Be and is also called turtle island. At low tide, visitors can parade on the white sand that joins the two islands. At high tide, this is the right time to dive and discover the different species of sea turtles.

Nosy Komba, the breathtaking hyphen

The fourth most beautiful island of Madagascar is called Nosy Komba and is near Nosy Be. To tell the truth, it forms the link between Nosy Be and the banks of Madagascar. Named Lemurian Island, Nosy Komba is home to several species of lemurs that arouse the curiosity of tourists.
