Nosy Be Tour

Snorkelling in the South

Day 1: Tulear – Anakao

Upon arrival in Tulear, you will board a boat that transfers you to the pretty fishing village of Anakao. Enjoy the afternoon at leisure on white sandy beaches with clear water.

At an additional cost and if pre-arranged, you may depart on a motorised pirogue excursion to observe marine wildlife up close. Alternatively, optional excursions such as game fishing and snorkelling can also be enjoyed (these must be booked in advance). [D]

Day 2: Tsimanampetsotsa National Park

Today we set out on a full-day excursion to Tsimanampetsotsa National Park, where you will have the chance to see two of the four species of lemurs found here (the other two being nocturnal), the very rare Grandidier’s mongoose (endemic to this region), the radiated tortoise, and a species of blind fish that lives in underground caves. Most famously, the park is home to a large colony of greater flamingos. [BD]

Day 3: Excursion to Nosy Be

Today you will visit the tranquil island of Nosy Ve — a sacred location for the Vezo people, where locals sacrifice zebu each year according to traditional rituals.

The island is home to the world’s southernmost year-round breeding colony of red-tailed tropicbirds, attracting ornithologists from around the globe. With excellent bird sightings, stunning white beaches, and superb snorkelling opportunities, this island visit will be a highlight of your tour. [BD]

Day 4: Anakao – Tulear – Antananarivo

After breakfast, you will be transferred by boat back to Tulear and then to the airport for your flight to Antananarivo, where your unforgettable tour ends. We look forward to welcoming you to Madagascar again very soon! [BD]
