Touch down in Moroni and the warm sea-scented air pushes you forward—narrow stone streets unwrap into a medina of carved doors, colorful fabric stalls and the spray of the Indian Ocean beyond. Over six days you move between volcanic highs and coral fringes: Grande Comore’s black lava fields and the looming caldera of Mt. Karthala give way to Moheli’s sheltered bays and the marine park where reefs and beaches shape the rhythm of local life.
