How to get there - Dzaoudzi
Arrival in Pamandzi on Petite-Terre
Steps: Passamainty
Caribou Maoré, cab or rental car to reach the barge on Dzaoudzi, then Mamoudzou on Grande-Terre. Pick up your car in Mamoudzou, and settle in Mamoudzou or the surrounding area(Passamainty, Tzoundzou or Trévani). After your flight, you'll usually want to relax or enjoy the beach. In the late afternoon, you'll be surprised by the size of the spotted dogfish, which generally become more active in cooler weather. At this time of day, the first makis will come to visit you and ask for a few bananas (if there are big trees, you'll be able to see makis all over the island).
Discovering the north
Discover the island with its beautifully decorated bangas, inhabited by teenagers trying to seduce young girls. Enjoy magical views of the northern islets and their turquoise waters (try to take advantage of low tides, when you'll see the most beautiful shades of the lagoon) and return to the center of the island with its bush, ylang-ylang plantations, stills and cane forests.)
Dolphin or whale safari
There's nothing like discovering the most beautiful islets and beaches in season. Take advantage of the opportunity to snorkel the seabed, with its multicolored fish and abundant coral. For families, snorkeling is the perfect supervised activity for all levels of experience. And you're sure to catch a glimpse of dolphins or whales.
Departure for southern Mayotte
Steps: Bandrélé
Stop in front of the largest baobab tree at Musical Plage. Visit thesalt ecomuseum in Bandrélé , then head for N'gouja beach to swim with the large green turtles that spend their day grazing on the seagrass beds facing the beach (at high tide). A unique experience! Laze on the baobab-fringed beach and return to the west coast.

In the interior forests or climbing Mount Choungui (it's worth it, but be careful, it's quite steep!).
