In southern Madagascar, Mamirano Bay pairs the beaches of Ambatomilo with a sheltered lagoon, ideal for swimming and snorkelling. It's also a chance to head out in a pirogue with Vezo fishermen, the community that has lived off this coast for generations.
Experiences on site
- Sunset on Ambatomilo beach
- Vezo pirogue outing on the lagoon, with a snorkelling stop
- A free day for the beach, swimming, or exploring the village
The planner's tip
Aim for October to November: sunshine, comfortable heat, turquoise sea, and very little rain — the best window to make the most of the beaches and the lagoon.
