Pink Flamingo Island — Flamingo Island Djerba
Boat excursion to the pristine pink flamingo island, swimming in crystal-clear waters.
Highlights
- ✓Pristine and wild island — no tourist infrastructure, just white sand and turquoise waters.
- ✓Pink flamingo watching — resident colony of several hundred birds (October-May season).
- ✓Swimming in crystal-clear waters — shallow bottom for 100 metres, ideal for families and children.
The Pink Flamingo Island (officially Ras Rmel, nicknamed Flamingo Island) is a sandbank several kilometres northeast of Djerba, accessible only by boat. It is one of the last preserved paradises of Djerba: no hotels, no beach bars, no sun loungers — just white sand, turquoise waters and, depending on the season, several hundred pink flamingos that come to feed in the adjacent lagoon.
Our trip departs from Houmt Souk Marina, with a 30-40 minute navigation to the island. Depending on your chosen package: 2-3 hour stopover on the island with picnic lunch provided, or full day with barbecue on board and several swimming stops.
Best season for flamingo watching: October to May (resident season). In summer, flamingos migrate further north — the island remains beautiful but without the colony.
