Practical information about Ifaty
Reviews of Ifaty
Some say that Ifaty is one of the most beautiful diving spots in the world. You be the judge! The Ranobe Lagoon on the edge of the Mozambique Channel and its miles of coral reefs are a paradise for the area's Vezo fishermen, as well as for those who love underwater diving.
My suggestion:
OK, so maybe Ifaty doesn't lend itself to the nightclub scene, but perhaps you can celebrate during the outdoor parties run by the villagers!
Summary:
Whether snorkeling or scuba diving, everyone will be amazed at the extraordinary multi-coloured coral and the variety of fish that inhabit them. Summer travellers can admire the magic of the humpback whale show: Ifaty is part of their migration route towards Sainte Marie. Wildlife lovers can visit a 17-acre tortoise village, whose aim is to protect certain endangered species.
You can also participate in windsurfing, freediving or fishing for sporting holidays … Or simply stroll along the white sandy beaches revelling in the multicoloured parade of outrigger canoes.
