Activity &
Leisure at Nosy be

Adventure and adrenaline: Looking for thrills? Opt for a 4x4 safari on the sandy tracks of the Makay Massif, a mountain bike ride down the mountains of the Highlands, or why not a via ferrata and a zip line course above the canyons of Isalo. The more adventurous can delve into the limestone caves of Ankarana by the light of their headlamps or go camping in the wilderness far from any civilization. Madagascar is an incomparable adventure playground, while remaining accessible to travelers with a thirst for discovery.

Cultural Immersion: Discover the soul of Madagascar through its people and traditions. Visit Vezo fishing villages on the west coast and learn their traditional fishing techniques, stroll through colorful local markets ('bazary be') to taste exotic fruits and street food, attend a folk dance or lively salegy music show in the north, or participate in a famadihana (turning of the dead) ceremony if the calendar allows, for a deep dive into Malagasy customs. Each encounter is an opportunity for warm exchanges and unforgettable human memories.

Sea Excursions and Tropical Islands: Cruise by traditional boat or speedboat to paradise islands, secret coves, and secluded beaches. Take a day trip around Nosy Be (Nosy Komba, Nosy Tanikely, Nosy Iranja) to swim in a natural aquarium among colorful corals and tropical fish, or take a sunset cruise in Diego Suarez Bay.

Nature hikes, parks, and waterfalls: Go on a day or multi-day trek in iconic national parks. On the agenda: walk among the giant baobabs of the southwest, explore the Andasibe rainforest in search of lemurs, climb volcanic massifs like Pic Boby in Andringitra National Park, or take an easy stroll to the sacred waterfalls of Nosy Be and the refreshing cascades of Montagne d'Ambre.
