The market sells lots of different produce, and will delve you right into Mayotte’s local culture. This is the perfect place to taste fresh star fruit and other exotic fruit juice.

Enjoy a boat trip out on the lagoon

Roaming the lagoon all around the island will give you an even better view of Mayotte. Boats are the best way of scouring the ocean for dolphins, manta rays or whales. While out on the water, you can soak up the tropical sun and enjoy a delicious local meal.
