Diego Suarez Bay
View one of the world's most impressive natural harbors shortly after taking off from Arrachart.
Montagne d'Ambre
The lush green slopes of the northern Madagascar rainforest massif visible to the south.
Mozambique Channel
The deep azure transition between the Indian Ocean and the Comoros archipelago.
Mont Choungui
The distinct conical basaltic peak of southern Mayotte becomes visible during the descent.
Mayotte Barrier Reef
Aerial view of one of the world's largest enclosed coral lagoons with striking turquoise gradients.
Book a window seat well forward of the wing to capture the vibrant colors of the lagoon. This short flight (approx. 50 minutes) is most scenic during midday when the sun is high, as this illuminates the coral reefs and reveals the true intensity of the turquoise water. During whale season (July–October), keep a close eye on the water surface in the Mozambique Channel.
