Overview

Mayotte

It is THE destination for an under-water safari. Indeed, every summer (of our hemisphere) and winter (as far as Mayotte's climate is concerned), the cetaceans (whales, dolphins, porpoises) stopover to reproduce. You can be sure to see some in the 600 sq mi of turquoise water of the lagoon. Why not try a beach-holiday: You will soon become a deluxe Robinson Crusoe when you see the landscape not yet cluttered with hotels. Then, if you are interested in perfume, go and visit a ylang-ylang plantation; you will feel as if you were in the Garden of Eden.

Our Editorial team's advice

If you want to see the most beautiful diving site of Mayotte, go to the S shape channel off the eastern coast. A river has given it its sinuous outline (hence the name), and the under-water wildlife and flora are exceptional. Diving clubs organize diving sessions in the channels, from the departure points of Mamoudzou or Bandrélé. You can organize also to go on a bivouac on the Choizil islets set along the north-west coast, off M'tsamboro. The sunsets are particularly sumptuous. The most pleasant way to get there is to rent a pirogue from M'tsamboro. The fishermen of the village will be happy to organize the trip.
