Fomboni

May–October for the best sea visibility; July–August for passing humpback whales.

• Mohéli National Marine Park
• Pristine Itsamia beaches
• Green turtle nesting seasons
• Isolated traditional fishing villages

Very simple eco-lodges — the archipelago's least tourism-developed island, and perhaps its most authentic.

Visit during turtle nesting season (May–September) for a rare sight — respect the reserve's guidelines strictly.

Getting around: A small domestic flight from Moroni (~30 min). The smallest inhabited island and least visited — local boats reach the marine reserve.

Halal & prayer places: Total — a small Muslim island, halal as a given with very simple options.

Local safety: Same as country →

Cost figures: 2026 prices: Mohéli's marine reserve by boat ~$20–35, fish meal $3–6, eco-lodges $40–90/night.
