About
Nosy Tanikely is a small island off Nosy Be, in Madagascar, Africa. It is a protected marine park, and most visitors come for what lies beneath the water: coral reefs and the marine life that moves among them, including sea turtles.
What a visit offers
The island is known for snorkeling and diving. The reefs here are the main draw, and the marine park status means the area is managed with the reef in mind. Those who enjoy watching fish, corals and turtles in clear water will find the setting well suited to the purpose.
- Snorkeling over coral reefs close to the island
- Diving among a range of marine species, including sea turtles
- Pristine beaches on the small island itself
Planning your trip
Nosy Tanikely is a short trip from Nosy Be, the larger island it sits beside, so it works well as a day out from there. Nosy Be itself offers accommodation and services for travellers, which makes it a practical base. Because the island is small and protected, a visit suits people who want a quiet, nature-focused day rather than a built-up resort stay.
If you are drawn to clear water, reef life and a simple beach day, Nosy Tanikely is a clear choice within Madagascar's coastal offerings. Check current access and conditions before you go, as these can change with the season and the rules of the park.
