Mohéli Marine Park, located off the coast of Mohéli Island in the Comoros, is the country's first protected marine area, known for its pristine coral reefs, diverse marine life, and unspoiled beaches. The park is home to sea turtles, dolphins, humpback whales (July–October), and rare dugongs, making it a top destination for snorkeling, diving, and eco-tourism. Visitors can explore island villages, kayak through mangroves, and witness turtle nesting on Itsamia Beach. The best time to visit is May–November (dry season). Access is via a flight to Mohéli’s Bandar Es Eslam Airport, with boat tours available from local eco-lodges.
