Comoros tour packages take you somewhere most travellers have never considered—a trio of volcanic islands in the Indian Ocean, where nesting turtles, fragrant ylang-ylang plantations, and endless ocean views await.
Comoros Islands tours take you somewhere most travellers haven't thought to look - a trio of volcanic islands in the northern Mozambique Channel where the Indian Ocean stretches out in every direction and the crowds are conspicuously absent. Grande Comore is shaped by Mt Karthala, one of the world's largest active volcanoes. Anjouan is lush and mountainous, its hillsides fragrant with ylang-ylang. Mohéli, the smallest island, is also the least touched — rainforest, quiet beaches, nesting turtles and a marine park full of whales and dolphins.
Our small group Comoros Islands tours visit all three islands, flying between them to make the most of limited time. On Grande Comore you'll explore Moroni's carved-door medina and Friday Mosque, visit ylang-ylang and vanilla cooperatives at Mbeni, and have the option to attempt the climb of Mt Karthala.
Comoros Islands
Small-group departures led by local experts, plus private tailor-made itineraries shaped around your interests, pace and dates.
The Comoros receive only a handful of tourists each year. You won't find crowds, queues or tour buses here - just warm welcomes from islanders who are genuinely pleased to see visitors and a pace of life that hasn't been shaped by tourism.
Grande Comore, Anjouan and Mohéli each feel distinct. One is dominated by a vast active volcano, another by ylang-ylang-covered hillsides, and the third by pristine beaches and marine life.
The waters around Mohéli are protected by a marine park and remain largely undisturbed. Whales, dolphins and sea turtles are regular sightings, and the reefs here see a fraction of the pressure placed on more famous Indian Ocean dive sites.
The Comoros is one of very few places in the world where you can spot the Livingstone's Fruit Bat - the largest bat on the planet, with a wingspan that can exceed a metre.

From the field
Sweet spot: May
Our Comoros Islands tours depart in May, October and July — all solid months to visit the archipelago. May falls in the dry season, when days are warm and skies are largely clear, making it a good time for outdoor exploration and coastal activities. October sits at the tail end of the dry season, still comfortable and dry with settled weather across all three islands. July is warm and largely dry, ideal for the marine park and beaches of Mohéli.
