The Mitsio Islands form a volcanic archipelago 50 kilometres north of Nosy Be. Comprising several islands \u2013 Grande Mitsio, Tsarabanjina and other islets \u2013 it is characterised by impressive basalt formations and deserted beaches. With few tourists and accessible only by boat from Nosy Be, it is the ideal destination for an adventure camping trip.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Basalt columns<\/h3><\/div><\/div>\n\n

One of the archipelago\u2019s geological wonders: hexagonal basalt columns, remnants of the volcanic activity that formed the islands. A spectacular rocky landscape, unique in the region.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Marine life<\/h3><\/div><\/div>\n\n

The Mitsio reefs are largely unexplored and in excellent condition. Reef sharks, barracudas, manta rays, dolphins \u2013 marine life is abundant.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

Deserted beaches<\/h3><\/div><\/div>\n\n

\u00a0Very few hotels, no infrastructure. The beaches of the Mitsio archipelago are deserted, the sand pristine. A feeling of being at the end of the world.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
