Nosy Iranja Campsite: what you need to know
The camp on the island
The camp is set up on a magnificent beach. The tents and small huts made of wood and leaves are sheltered from the wind. Our team prepares meals on site. Fresh water and camping equipment are provided for the aperitif.
The turtles
The turtles come ashore to lay their eggs on the beaches at nightfall. The camp allows you to witness this rare spectacle in silence, guided by our team. All year round, they swim in the lagoon.
After dark
Nosy Iranja is far from any light pollution. The sandbank empties of its last visitors. The Indian Ocean sky displays all its splendour. There is little infrastructure, but also little mobile phone coverage.
Because every trip is unique, we tailor the experience to your preferences: a special menu, an on-board celebration or a detour. Contact us to plan your ideal day; we will let you know of any additional costs depending on the complexity of your requests.
