Visit the island in front of Shangri-la Lodge

One of our canoes, if the weather is favorable, will take you to the rocky island where you can observe numerous species of birds that nest there. Moreover, with the low tide you often catch the fish in some crevices of the rock. It is an excursion that we highly recommend.

Snorkeling on the reef

The barrier is about one kilometer far from the beach. You have the choice of a healthy and safe swim or lease of one of our canoes with which you will reach in a few minutes what is considered the second-longest barrier reef in the world. Staying inside the reef, you can swim in the clear waters of the reef where there is an indescribable climate of peace.

We only have limited numbers of snorkelling equipment available, so it is recommended to bring the necessary materials.

Day or night fishing with local fishermen

You will be accompanied by local fishermen to the reef in one of our canoes and you will fish using the same equipment as the locals. This is a very interesting experience, but you will have to be patient. This activity is closely linked to weather conditions.

Diving and water activities

Shangri-la Lodge was built on a strategic and favorable site. The long reef that combines Tulear to Morombe, shows the full richness of its fauna and flora in the section between Salary and Andavadoaka. Next to the island that is located about a mile from the beach of Shangri-la Lodge, the barrier is interrupted by a deep passage that allows the safety transit of vessels also of great size.

With a notice of at least 20 days, and a minimum of 4 people, we can arrange the following activities:

-diving excursion
-diving baptism
-diving patent
-excursions for whale watching (July to September)
