3 Day Moucha Island Experience

Come with us to the Horn of Africa and experience the relatively untouched little Country of Djibouti!
Djibouti is a former French colony located between Ethiopia and Somalia. It is one of the world’s smallest and least populated countries and is also where the Continent of Africa is splitting from Asia- you can actually place your feet on either side of the Continental Line! Few places have such a variety of landscapes – volcanoes, sinking plains, limestone chimneys with steam coming from the top, salt lakes, grand canyons, and gorgeous plateaus. This tiny corner of Northern Africa is not overly developed outside of the capital, so spending time here makes for the perfect eco-travel experience as you get a peek of ancient nomadic life. This 3-day extension tour to Moucha Island is designed to follow-on from any of the RAW Africa Eco-Tours 8-day ‘Djibouti Adventure’ tour. We just want to show you another magical aspect of this incredible Country- come with us to this tiny paradise island to snorkel or dive in the turquoise waters, swim with majestic whale sharks or mantra rays or just relax and enjoy the tranquillity.

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Snorkel amongst the vibrant coral reefs 
  • Swim in turquoise waters   
  • Explore the Mangrove Forest
  • Option to scuba dive with peaceful and majestic whale sharks (October- February)

TOUR ITINERARY

We will meet you at either Djibouti International Airport or your Djibouti City hotel and transfer you to the boat pier. It will be a scenic 30-minute journey until you arrive at the small coral island of Moucha.

After lunch we will venture off to explore the mangrove forest.

Today we will discover that this island paradise is the perfect place to enjoy water sports such as snorkelling, scuba diving, swimming, fishing and swimming with majestic whale sharks and manta rays (from Oct-Feb). We will set off on our first snorkelling adventure, and marvel at the crystal clear waters and coral reefs around the island. After lunch, we will snorkel again to see the busy and colourful underwater creatures.
Later in the day, as we relax on the sunbeds, or wander along the beach, you can’t help but appreciate the tranquillity of this remote African island.
