Nosy Be Tour

Day 1: Arrival in Nosy Be

Upon arrival in Nosy Be, you will be met and transferred to Vanila Hotel, located along the white sandy beach on the west coast of the island.

Nosy Be, also known as Nosy Manitra (“The Scented Island”), is famous for its fragrances of ylang-ylang, frangipani, vanilla, cocoa, cinnamon, and sugar cane. As one of the most popular destinations in Madagascar, Nosy Be has much to offer visitors: beautiful beaches, scenic views from Mont Passot, scuba diving opportunities, and visits to ylang-ylang distilleries, to name just a few.

Days 2–3: Nosy Be at Leisure

Enjoy free time to relax or take part in optional excursions. Trips can be arranged to nearby islands such as Nosy Komba, where you may see semi-tame black lemurs; Nosy Tanikely, ideal for exceptional snorkeling; or the island of Nosy Sakatia, known for diving and marine life.

A guided spice tour can be arranged through the lodge, or you may take a trip into Hell-Ville to visit the bustling daily market — a great place to buy spices at very reasonable prices.

In the evening, enjoy a sundowner at the small rustic bar at the top of Mount Passot while taking in the breathtaking view of the seven sacred crater lakes.

Day 4: Nosy Be – Antananarivo

After a leisurely breakfast, check out of the hotel and transfer to the airport for your flight to Antananarivo.

Upon arrival, you will be met at the airport and transferred to the IC Hotel, where you will spend the night in an en-suite room, away from the noise of the city. [B]
