Discovering the Underwater Beauty
Diving or snorkelling in Madagascar with the tropical fish and the rare turtles is a definite highlight when travelling here on holiday. The best times to snorkel and dive in Madagascar are between Dec and April. For snorkelling, Nosy Tanikely is great and for diving Tulear, Nosy Be and Sainte Marie are ideal!
