ITINERARY
DAY 1 - 2: Antananarivo to Nosy Be
Arriving to Nosy Be airport, you will be met and transferred by taxi to Chanty beach and then by speedboat to Sakatia Towers, which is situated on a small private beach. The next two days will be spent snorkelling, exploring the stunning beach and island on foot and generally relaxing whilst soaking up the sand, sea and sun. Additional activities (with costs) include guided walks, sea-kayaking, hobie cats or pirogue trips, scuba diving and deep sea fishing trips. [D, BLD]
DAY 3 - 4: Ambatiloka to Nosy Komba
After 2 nights at Sakatia Towers, we make an early start to Ambatiloka by speed boat and taxi followed by a day excursion with a beach picnic lunch at Nosy Tanikely Marine Reserve – famed for its world class snorkelling and diving. We then proceed to Nosy Komba where will be accommodated at Hotel Jardin Vanille or Lilians Bungalows.
Nosy Komba is a small island surrounded by clear water that is perfect for diving. This tiny island is secluded and remote – perfect for relaxation and fun in the sun. The islands big attraction is a large population of black lemur which roam the trees, and with any luck marine turtles may be spotted. Our time on Nosy Komba will be spent relaxing on the beach, taking forest walks up the mountain, visiting the nearby Anjibe village and soaking up the sun. Pirogue trips and deep sea fishing can be organized for those who wish. [BLD]
DAY 5 - 6: Nosy Komba – Nosy Be, Lokobe Nature Reserve
After breakfast we travel via boat from Nosy Komba to the main island of Nosy Be, where you will check into Sambatra Bed & Breakfast. Just 20 minutes from Hell-ville, its location offers you easy access to the activities contained in the town. You can arrange trips to do Quad biking, visit the local market and Handicrafts market, see the sacred tree or climb Mount Passot. Alternatively, hire a mountain bike and explore the area at your own pace.
On day 6, we take a trip to Lokobe Nature Reserve, by road transfer and traditional pirogue. The 30-40 minute pirogue trip offers you an excellent way to experience local life and transport, whilst responsibly supporting local guides. Far from the flood of tourists Lokobie Reserve is only accessible by sea and is a haven of peace. Spend the day enjoying jungle walks with your pirogue guides to see the variety of wildlife, and take in the beautiful sounds of nature. The famous Nosy Be Panther Chameleon is present in this last remaining lowland rainforest on the island. [BLD]
