Nosy Iranja, 30 miles south of Nosy Be, is made up of two islands conjoined by a bank of white sand, which is submerged at high tide (Nosy Iranja Be: the big, and Nosy Iranja Kely: the small). The island has many attractions and amenities, one of the most notable being that it is an important breeding reserve for hawksbill turtles. An information centre is presently being built on Iranja - in the south of the island where most of the turtles lay their eggs. The setting is idyllic, stunning beaches surround a lush tropical island covered with coconut palms, Filaos trees and tropical flowers. The bird life is diverse and remarkable and the island is also home to huge Coconut crabs. The northern (bigger) island, Nosy Iranja Be, is home to a small village, inhabited by the local fishermen and a lighthouse designed by Gustav Eiffel. The lighthouse is abandoned. One can climb up to the lantern, but be careful: the platform is severely rusted and weak in some places. The Island is situated 1 hour and 15 minutes southwest of Nosy Be Island by boat. (Helicopter transfers are available and are the much more luxurious option - 20 minutes only).
