Jour 1 : Dzaoudzi - Passe en S - Bandrélé
From Dzaoudzi, your captain will take you to the best-known diving site in Mayotte: the 'Passe en S'. This large S-shaped pass is so named because of its beautiful, sinuous shape which resembles the meandering course of a stream, offering many stunning sites for diving enthusiasts. At 4 kilometers long, it boasts two reefs rich with extraordinary fauna. Bandrélé is home to a beautiful cove of clear, sparkling water on the west coast, a small beach on its northern coast and a beautiful falling a few metres from the north east shore. Possibility to go around the island by canoe.

Day 2 : Bandrélé - Island of White Sands - Bambo Est - Saziley beach
At low tide, you can read the fine white sands. These headlands attract many seabirds. These little islands are often given magical properties. The Saziley Marine Park is a protected marine area between the southern tip of Grande Terre and the "Island of White Sands", so you may have the privilege of meeting the rare Dugongs (marine mammals).

Day 3 : Saziley Beach - Dapani Bay - m'Bouini - N'Gouja
Bordered by baobabs at the southern tip of the island, Saziley beach is one of Mayotte's paradisiacal beaches. It is most well known for being home to a large population of turtles. During your trip you will discover a multitude of colourful fish along the falls, as well as corals of all sizes and colors.

Day 4 : N'Gouja - Boueni Bay - Mzouazia
The beach of N'Gouja is the most famous of all the island. Here you can catch sight of many turtles frolicking a dozen meters from shore. At the end of the day, observe the Makis (ring-tailed lemurs). Boueni Bay is an emerald pearl, drowned in an ocean of green - certainly one of Mayotte's most beautiful bays. Before reaching the bay, you will pass the Bwe Foro, or the 'pierced rock'.

Day 5 : Mzouazia - Soulou Waterfall - Pointe d'Handrema
The Soulou waterfall is a magical and mysterious sight, where fresh water cascades into the sea at high tide.

Jour 6 : Handrema Point - Choisils Island and M'tsamboro Island
Just off the little island of Mtsamboro is an untouched area of natural beauty where you can soak up the peaceful ambience. A long beach of straw-yellow sand is hidden away, surrounded by trees and turquoise waters, creating an ideal spot for a picnic. To the north east of M'Tsamboro the water is transparent, and at low tide, if you're lucky you can see turtles and coral.

Jour 7 : Plage Handrema et baie d'Handrema - Dzaoudzi
The Bay of Handrema is a bay formed by the Northern coast of the island of Mayotte. Often deserted, the beach is scattered with palm trees and is a popular spot for turtles. You will have the chance to see them up close as they basque in the turquoise waters less than 300 metres from the shore. After 7 days navigating on one of the most beautiful lagoons in the world, you will leave your crew and return to Dzaoudzi, with enough memories to last a lifetime!
