The Tanikely reef allows visitors to discover marine life with a mask and snorkel in just a few meters of water.<\/p>\n
Opening hours<\/h3>\n
Visits to Tanikely Marine National Park take place from 7.00 am to 4.00 pm every day of the week. The park entrance fee is often included in the price of the tour offered by your tour operator or service provider. If you arrive on the island independently, the visitor centre will ask you to pay the entrance fee online.<\/p>\n
The team in charge of fleet management is perfectly qualified to inform and advise you.<\/p>\n

Rules<\/h3>\n
Man’s negative impact on animal and plant life must be zero or as low as possible.
Biodiversity needs to be preserved, even if tourism is present on the island. Visitors must be respectful of the reef, the species and the environment.
Fires are forbidden except in the picnic area, where you’ll find dedicated places (firewood is the responsibility of the cooks and must not be collected in the park).
To protect the environment, it is of course forbidden to touch animals on land or in the water.
It is also forbidden to remove plants, algae, shells, coral, etc…<\/p>\nSigns have been installed to protect certain areas of the park, and to inform visitors of the limits of authorized zones.<\/p>\n

Whales can be seen in Nosy Be, Sainte-Marie, Tul\u00e9ar and Fort Dauphin in almost every coastal area of the island. From July to October\/November, humpback whales breed in Madagascar.
They pass through the waters off Nosy Be, often staying to look after their calves before setting off on their long journey to the cold waters.<\/p>\nHumpback whales generally measure between 12m and 15m, and like to make a spectacle of themselves by leaping out of the water.
They strike the surface of the water with their immense pectoral fins.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
From their blowholes, humpback whales blow air that can rise several meters. Paying close attention to the whale’s blow is the most obvious way to find them when you’re out at sea.<\/p>\n
It is imperative to avoid disturbing the whales, and there are rules to be respected when observing them: approach distance, limited number of boats, etc…<\/p>\n
