A week on Nosy Be with four boat excursions to the nearby islands: the sandbar of Nosy Iranja, the lemurs of Nosy Komba and Nosy Antsoha, the Nosy Tanikely marine park and the turtles of Nosy Sakatia. Italian-speaking guide, picnic lunches included.
Why it is unique
It is the simplest way to see the best of Nosy Be without arranging anything locally: every outing by shared boat with an Italian-speaking guide and a picnic lunch, a tour of the island with sunset from Mont Passot over the volcanic lakes, and two full days by the sea.
What the journey is like
A single base in one hotel, with no repacking. Nosy Iranja, where a kilometre of white sand joins two islands; Nosy Komba with its black lemurs and craft market; snorkelling among corals and turtles in the Nosy Tanikely marine park; Nosy Sakatia, where sea turtles graze on seagrass in the shallows.
When to go
From May to November the sea is calm and there is little rain; between September and December whale sharks may be seen offshore. Between January and March is cyclone season.
Good to know
The entry visa, €30 per person, is not included, nor are lunches on the days of arrival and departure. The stop at Nosy Antsoha depends on the tides.
