Best of Anjouan Tour : Sweet and Cheap Value Package Tour - Anjouan 5 Days 4 Nights Inclusive Tour from Matsumudu

One of the most uniquely scented and stored isles in the Indian Ocean, a generator of everything from the finest vanilla and spices to the fresh ylang ylang pressed pleasantness that makes Chanel perfume, Anjouan is a beautiful island of perfume decked with beautiful vegetation and black sand beaches. 

Day 1:

Arrive today at Matsumudu airport, where you will be met with a warm salutation and then begin land transfer to the hotel after briefly touring the city, the lively capital of Anjouan.

Day 2:

We will start at any hotel of your choice in the island, and head to the trailhead, where we will spend half a day hiking leisurely in the forest and volcano slopes and around to the lake (about 4 hours total trekking.) It can take the whole day for the roundtrip circuit through the forest and to the lake and lunch and leisurely beach, so bring as much water as you may need for the day and any snacks. 

A lot of totally endemic plants and birds, all rare by their very essence of evolving on a remote detached island, live within the forest. We will try to spot them in the woods and slopes and lakeside today as we go.

*Please note a moderate to high level of physical fitness is required to do the trek. It is also perfectly acceptable as an alternative to do a beach and forest nature hike today rather than go very far to the lake, as an alternate.
