About the tour

Departure in a 4x4 towards the eastern coast, heading to Andasibe, towards the lushest regions of Madagascar where we will encounter numerous species of lemurs, including the distinctive "Indri-Indri," the largest lemur in the world, and the Diademed Sifaka along the easy trail. There are also various bird species, other lemur species, and reptiles.


Next, we proceed to the Manambato dock. The navigation along the Pangalane Canal, a navigable waterway about 650 km long, created during French colonization, runs through dense tropical vegetation parallel to the sea, offering unique scenic landscapes. It will take us to Ankanin'ny Nofy, literally "The Nest of Dreams." This charming hotel has a reserve for night walks and a small island to see the endangered species called AYE-AYE. During the day, various lemur species play around the restaurant. The vanilla plantation in the restaurant's courtyard reminds us that Madagascar produces the finest vanilla in the world.


Saint Marie is an island within an island:
A small island 60 km long and 5 km wide, perfect for exploration and easily accessible by bicycle. Those who wish can alternate sunny beach days with visits to the capital, featuring typical colonial houses, the pirate cemetery, and especially the site chosen by humpback whales. Sainte Marie can be reached from the small island of Ile aux Nattes, with its pristine sandy beaches.
