Nosy Sakatia
A quiet island off the west coast of Nosy Be, where green sea turtles often feed in seagrass beds. It is also a departure point for diving and whale shark trips.
Nosy Sakatia is separated from the west coast of Nosy Be by a narrow channel. A boat from near Ambaro reaches it in about 5 minutes. The island has only a few eco-lodges and a village, with no cars, so you can walk across it. The seagrass beds in the channel are a regular feeding ground for green sea turtles, which are often seen up close while snorkelling. The surrounding reefs are among the main dive sites around Nosy Be. It suits travelers who want to escape the crowds and can stay one or two nights or join a half-day diving tour.
