Itinerary

Our tour begins at 8:00 AM as we drive to Mahatsinjo village to visit the magnificent Banyan Sacred Tree. Planted in 1836 by the Queen of the Sakalava tribe, this tree holds significant cultural importance. Each year, the Queen of Nosy Be makes a pilgrimage here to offer a zebu as a sacrifice in hopes of receiving blessings. Visitors must remove their shoes before approaching the tree, and if you have bare legs, a wrap will be provided. The area is home to playful black lemurs, offering fantastic photo opportunities
Next, we’ll visit Lemur Land, a beautiful 8-hectare park teeming with freely roaming lemurs. Here, you’ll have the chance to feed them bananas while observing different species of lemurs and other wildlife, such as crocodiles, chameleons, tortoises, and birds. The park is also home to Ylang Ylang plantations and a distillery, where we can explore the perfume factory and rum distillery for an insight into local craftsmanship.

Following our time at Lemur Land, we will head to the bustling Hell Ville market, Nosy Be’s best spot for shopping. The market offers a wide variety of handcrafted items, including beautiful, affordable embroidery and local art. You can also purchase Madagascar’s famous vanilla, pepper, and other spices. This is an excellent opportunity to engage with the local culture and practice your bargaining skills in a safe and vibrant environment.

It’s time for a relaxing lunch at Andilana, considered Nosy Be’s most stunning beach. Enjoy the soft, white sand and the crystal-clear, turquoise waters. This is the perfect place to unwind and take in the natural beauty of the island.

Our final stop is Mont Passot, the highest point on Nosy Be, offering a breathtaking 360-degree view of the island, the Indian Ocean, and the twelve volcanic lakes scattered across the land. The highlight of the visit is the spectacular sunset, where the sky transforms into a stunning array of colors orange, pink, fuchsia, red, and blue. After this unforgettable experience, we will return to the hotel to conclude our tour.
