Wonderful trip and snorkelling with turtles - The trip was really wonderful and very well organised. Although it was a group tour I was alone on the boat and could enjoy snorkelling with turtles and smaller fish. It was unforgettable experience. After snorkelling we went to the village and the guide showed me around and explained about local way of life, plants and animals. I had a wonderful time, highly recommended.

Beautiful experience with Daniel Beach Boy - Dream place! Fantastic experience among giant turtles and visit to the village! We booked with Daniel Bao, beach boy, who you can find on the Andilana beach, who organized a private tour for us at a very low cost but of excellent quality!

Magical experience - An amazing day. Exciting tuk tuk ride to the north of the island. Short boat trip across to Nosy Sakatia. Lovely to walk around the village and see life going on - a very authentic experience. Then the icing on the cake, swimming with the beautiful green turtles. A magical day and an excellent guide. Thank you.

Giant turtles - Day spent on a boat discovering Sakatia and then typical Malagasy lunch (very abundant: rice, meat and fish skewers, grilled fish, crab, vegetables, fruit). In Sakatia you go snorkelling and see many fish but above all you swim with giant turtles... a few meters from them and, for those who manage to dive and have good breath, a few centimeters from these splendid animals. Julien excellent guide and accompanies you throughout

Half day - This is a great half day tour if you’re low on time or just want to relax in the afternoon. Beautiful beach. It was also nice visiting the village and seeing the school kids playing around

We had a week on each, Sakatia, Komba and Nosy Be. Leave Nosy Be out. - July climate is perfect, 29C, sunny and no wind. Snorkeling was very good, there are lots of turtles and fish but, like just about everywhere, the coral is dead. The resort had a boat which took us Snorkeling free of charge on most days (just around the corner) but its not guaranteed. Any other tours are very expensive. There was an annoying house rule that limits each unit to one free Gig of data per day. Food was 7/10. We found eight wild lemurs in the trees while walking. No mosquitoes. Take ear plugs.

Snorkeling with Giant Sea Turtles - Enjoyed our trip to swim with the Sea Turtles. Our guide Jake was knowledgeable about the island, helped us spot turtles and was there to pick us up at the port. Note that the description of the excursion talks about visiting Sakatia island and seeing Lemurs, but the trip was only to snorkel with the turtles. It was an hour drive and a 20 minute boat ride each way to snorkel, so keep that in mind if you’re only doing a 1/2 day excursion from the cruise port.
