The Mitsio Archipelago consists of a dozen small islands located about 55 kilometres north-east of Nosy Be and 30 kilometres off the mainland of Madagascar. The archipelago is an excellent diving and snorkelling destination, with some of Madagascar's best dive sites. Corals are in good condition and the ocean offers a large diversity of reef fish, such as eels, barracuda, kingfish and tuna. Beautiful beaches make the islands a dream destination for day excursions.
Nosy Mitsio is the largest island of the archipelago and is about 12 kilometres long and three kilometres wide. Its highest peak is 206 metres. White bones and coconut shells lie scattered around the hills. Nosy Mitsio is known for its huge basalt columns, also called the Organ Pipes. The island is popular amongst windsurfer and divers and can only be reached by boat
