La Somone is a special place to experience the sea differently. This motorboat ride takes you through the lagoon, a protected natural site classified as a community reserve, home to many bird species. The navigation is smooth, winding between mangroves and calm waterways before reaching the mouth where the ocean meets the lagoon.

Guests are picked up at the lagoon jetty or on the beach before boarding the boat. After a short presentation of the itinerary and safety rules, the guide leads the group through the mangrove’s winding channels.

The trip lasts about two hours, with photo stops and wildlife observations along the way. Depending on the season, you may spot pelicans, herons, or egrets. The guide shares insights about the local fauna and flora while offering a peaceful experience, far from the busy tourist beaches. The excursion often continues into the sea, cruising along the coast toward Ngaparou or Saly, depending on the tide. A snack is served on board before returning to the dock.

After the trip, visitors can enjoy lunch at one of the overwater restaurants, visit the La Somone Nature Reserve, or simply relax on the main beach, which is especially pleasant in the late morning.
