Mayotte is an archipelago in the Indian Ocean with a varied landscape of volcanic lakes, sandy beaches, and protected natural areas. The islands host coral reefs, mangrove forests, and marine habitats that invite exploration. Historic mosques such as Tsingoni and busy fish markets display the island's cultural side, while viewpoints and waterfalls like Cascade de Soulou offer scenic views. On Petite-Terre, beaches such as Moya and Musicale sit near Dziani Dzaha Crater Lake, a notable body of water of volcanic origin. Mount Choungui on Grande-Terre offers hiking opportunities with views across the island. The Sentier des Baobabs leads through landscapes with ancient trees and shows the region's natural flora. The coastline draws visitors with many beaches including N'Gouja, Saziley, and Tahiti Beach, while nature reserves such as Saziley National Park and Chissioua M'bouzi Reserve shelter uncommon species. The M'Tsamboro Islands and Sable Blanc Islet are popular destinations for water sports and snorkeling. Longoni Harbor and smaller bays such as Chirongui Bay show the maritime life of island residents.
