who we are

Joz Joz Adventures — your Nosy Be experts

Joz Joz Adventures have been operational in Nosy Be for over two decades. In that time we have gained the kind of deep local knowledge that only comes from years on the water, the best fishing grounds, the quietest beaches, the finest lodges, the most spectacular dive sites.

We use that knowledge to offer the best of the best to every guest we work with. We specialise in fully inclusive packages, flights, transfers, accommodation, yacht charters, fishing, diving and excursions,  all tailored to your group, your budget and your pace. Packages cater to honeymooners, families, keen anglers and those simply seeking an escape to one of the last truly unspoiled island destinations on earth.

Every yacht is exclusively chartered for your group. We do not do shared charters. You deal directly with our team, no call centres, no middle men, and we are available seven days a week to answer questions before, during and after your trip.
THE DESTINATION

Nosy Be — The Perfumed Island

The exotic scents of vanilla and ylang ylang saturate the air on the sun kissed white beaches of Nosy Be. This unspoiled tropical island, situated off the North West coast of Madagascar, is blessed with almost perfect weather year round and is ideal for island hopping, fishing, snorkelling, scuba diving and sailing.

The archipelago around Nosy Be is extraordinary in its variety. Each island has its own distinct character, from the wild diving retreat of Nosy Sakatia to Nosy Komba's lemur filled forests, from the marine reserve of Nosy Tanikely to the remote jewel like Mitsios far to the north.
Almost perfect weather year round
Warm Indian Ocean climate with a dry season (April–November) ideal for fishing and diving, and a wet season bringing lush green landscapes.
World class marine biodiversity
Whale sharks, manta rays, hawksbill turtles, humpback whales (July–September) and some of the richest coral reefs in the Indian Ocean.
Endemic wildlife found nowhere else
Nosy Be is home to the world's smallest frog (Stumpffia pygmaea), the Brookesia chameleon, and the famous black lemur of Nosy Komba.
Direct flights via Airlink

REAL GUESTS, REAL WORDS
What our guests say
"I just wanted to say a very, very big thank you for making our trip an absolute dream vacation. The time spent on Adiva was magnificent — the crew were brilliant, the food out of this world. Baba ensured we had a most memorable fishing experience and comes highly recommended for anyone wanting to fish like a pro. All in all, one of the most amazing trips ever — and that's coming from each of the four of us. Just on another note, I proposed to my girlfriend on one of our visits to Nosy Iranja whilst on Adiva, so the trip has a very special memory we will always cherish.""The best fishing trip of my life. Tony and his team knew exactly where the marlin were running. We landed three in one morning — absolutely phenomenal."

Well done to the crew of Yacht Adiva — Mamadou, Gerard, Marouf — and to the crew of Joz-Joz.
