Discovery cruises

Setting sail from various locations on the West coast of Madagascar to make the most of seasonal changes of prevailing winds, you will be led by them on a trip back in time along the Canal of Mozambique. Hopping from island to island, anchoring in secret bays, meeting the local Northern “Sakalava” populations and the Southern “Vezo” Nomads of the Sea, exploring undiscovered and hidden locations, snorkelling, fishing, dolphin and humpback whale watching (between middle of July to September), and, if we are lucky, even swimming with whale sharks around November.
