Maskali & Moucha Islands Tour: Snorkelling Adventure

1 Day
Starting from 350 USD

Escape the city for a full-day boat excursion from Djibouti City to the Moucha and Maskali Islands, an unspoiled marine paradise in the Gulf of Tadjourah. Known for crystal-clear waters, vibrant coral reefs and abundant marine life, this tour offers a perfect blend of snorkeling, swimming, beach relaxation, and nature discovery.


Djibouti Fishing Point, Maskali & Moucha Island

Departure is from the Fishing Point in Djibouti. From here, we board a boat and head out across the Gulf of Tadjourah. The scenic ride to Maskali Island takes around 30–45 minutes, offering panoramic views of the coastline and open ocean.

Upon arrival at Maskali Island, our team will set you up with snorkeling gear so you can explore the vibrant coral gardens and encounter a variety of colorful fish species such as parrotfish, surgeonfish and angelfish. With luck, you might even spot sea turtles or other fascinating marine creatures beneath the surface.

Continue by boat to Moucha Island, a small coral island famed for its white sandy beaches and protected mangrove forests. Relax on the each, take a refreshing swim in the warm Indian Ocean or explore the mangrove ecosystem which supports diverse marine life.

Enjoy a picnic lunch on the beach or an included meal depending on your package or bring your own meal. You may choose to swim longer, sunbathe, or simply take in the scenic surroundings before boarding the boat back to Djibouti City. Return to the harbor in the late afternoon,
