About Nosy Tanilkely

Nosy Tanikely is a protected marine-park reef off Nosy Be that people dive for clear water, dense fish life, and easy day-trip access. The island breaks into North, South, and East profiles, with shallow coral slopes, drift sections, and a compact circuit that rewards careful route choices. Plan for controlled park access, boat logistics, and a site that feels calmest on the shallower faces, with turtles, rays, sharks, and nudibranchs often in the mix.
