Since 2009, Jean Zèle Mariski has been sharing his passion for the sea and his ile with visitors. Always accompanied by his boat Tryo and Co, he offers a variety of authentic and friendly excursions around Sainte-Marie and l'ile aux Nattes: whale safari, snorkeling, troll fishing, tour of the ile, islet Sable, mangrove, etc.
Jean Zèle picks up directly at the hotel and adapts to the pace of guests to offer them a personalized and unforgettable experience.
Whale Safari (late June-September)
Set off on an unforgettable 3-hour excursion to meet the majestic humpback whales that appear in Sainte-Marie waters every year. Aboard the motorboat Tryo and Co, Jean Zeli will guide you with passion, scrupulously respecting observation distances and their tranquility.
Tour ofile aux Nattes by boat
A complete tour of l'ile aux Nattes lasting around 1 hour, ideal for discovering its secret coves, wild beaches and soothing coastal landscapes. A must-do at any time of day, but particularly magical in the late afternoon to enjoy a magnificent sunset from the sea.
Snorkeling in the lagoon
Snorkel in the ile's clear waters. The lagoon is home to a wide variety of colorful life. Ideal even for beginners, you'll be able to spot butterfly fish, parrot fish, blue damselfish, starfish and live coral, and maybe even sea turtles.
Trolling
Introduce yourself to a trolling session, a traditional technique that involves pulling a line behind a moving boat. All equipment is provided, and Jean will guide you step by step, whether you're a beginner or an amateur. A convivial activity, ideal for trying to catch bonito, king mackerel or trevally while enjoying the calm of the ocean.
Excursion to Sable Island
Embark on an excursion to Islet Sable, accessible only by boat. The islet is a small white sandbank in the middle of the lagoon. It's the perfect place to relax, swim or snorkel around the reefs. A moment of absolute tranquility guaranteed.
Excursion to Ampanihy Bay and visit to the mangroves
Jean Zèle picks you up directly from your hotel in Sainte-Marie for a day trip to Ampanihy Bay. After a leisurely sail, you'll board a small traditional pirogue to explore the mangrove, a unique and preserved ecosystem accessible only by these light craft.
On site, you can enjoy lunch in small local restaurants, renowned for their typical dishes: mangrove crab, coconut rice, grilled fish, etc.
Grill on the beach
Treat yourself to a gourmet lunch unlike any other, with lobster, slipper lobster or fish, grilled on the beach and served with your feet in the sand. Ideal to combine with a tour of the ile or a sea outing.
