Snorkeling at Nosy Tanikely - My adult daughter and I took 3 day-tours with Fossa Travel. Each was excellent. Tanikely is known as the best in the area for snorkeling. Our guide (Elio) said he prefers Sakatia and after snorkeling there the next day, we agree. But Tanikely was still worthwhile. To get there, we were driven to the port of Hells-ville, where we were asked for our passports. We had left them locked in the safe of our hotel. They accepted other ID, thankfully. The boat ride to the island brought us right onto the beach. Since the tide was out, we first visited the lighthouse of the island. Snorkeling from the beach was easy. We saw a turtle, pretty fish, several giant clams, anemones and a lot of dead coral. I think it is like that around the world because of global warming. When Elio told us to come back to the beach for lunch, we were presented with an amazing picnic of freshly cooked whole fish, BBQ zebu and shrimp, coconut rice, fresh salad and fresh perfectly ripe fruit for dessert.

Sea Turtles, Brown Lemurs and more! - Our excursion to Nosy Tanikely Marine Reserve exceeded our expectations! Our english speaking guide, Eric, was very enthusiastic and helped make our trip memorable. We especially enjoyed learning about Malagasy life & culture. The water is crystal clear and we enjoyed 3 separate snorkel swims. Lots of coral and fish within several feet of shore and the coral is in good condition. Twice we spent our entire time swimming alongside a Hawksbill Turtle. In between snorkeling we visited the lighthouse and found a troop of Brown Lemurs. We also walked along the beach to investigate the black lava formations. Eric designed a sand table with a colorful tablecloth for our delicious Malagasy Seafood lunch. The food was outstanding. Thank you Eric for a wonderful day!
