About the experience
Journey off the beaten path with an immersive 8-hour escape to Nosy Sakatia, one of Madagascar’s best-kept secrets. This untouched island is known for its vibrant marine life, lush interior, and authentic village life—making it the perfect blend of underwater adventure and on-foot discovery.
Your day begins with a short boat ride from Ambatoloaka to the shores of Nosy Sakatia, where the calm, shallow waters invite you to an unforgettable snorkeling session. Here, massive green turtles glide through seagrass beds, undisturbed by human presence. Whether you're an experienced snorkeler or a first-timer, this is a rare and peaceful encounter with one of the ocean’s most majestic creatures.
Back on land, you’ll visit a traditional fishing village nestled along the coastline. Take a moment to observe the rhythms of island life, meet friendly locals, and explore the handmade boats and simple homes that give Sakatia its charming character. Then, it’s time for an inland trek across the island—an invigorating 1.5-hour walk through tropical vegetation, orchid forests, and panoramic lookouts. With the guidance of a local, you’ll discover the medicinal plants and hidden stories woven into the landscape.
Midday brings time to unwind and refuel with lunch (not included) at a laid-back beachfront restaurant, offering fresh Malagasy cuisine in a tranquil setting. You can choose to lounge on the sand afterward or take a final swim before heading back.
What sets Nosy Sakatia apart is its untouched authenticity. It’s a peaceful place, free from large crowds, where both the marine and terrestrial environments remain preserved and genuine. Snorkeling with green turtles here feels almost spiritual, while the island’s warm-hearted people and natural beauty create a truly soulful experience.
This tour is ideal for nature lovers, walkers, and anyone seeking a quiet yet enriching connection with Madagascar’s islands.
