Betsiboka Estuary
The striking 'bleeding' red waters caused by sediment-heavy runoff meeting the ocean.
Bombetoka Bay
An intricate network of mangroves and sandbanks at the mouth of the Betsiboka River.

Vibrant turquoise patterns of one of the world's largest enclosed coral lagoons.
Lake Dziani
The emerald-green waters of the prehistoric volcanic crater lake on Petite-Terre.
Dzaoudzi Rock
The historic administrative heart of Mayotte situated on a prominent rocky outcrop.
The right side is essential for seeing the unique geological colors of the Betsiboka River immediately after takeoff. On final approach to DZA, this side often yields a spectacular view of Lake Dziani. Use a polarized lens for photos to cut through the water's surface reflection and see the reef clearly.

Mount Choungui
