Not as a day trip: these sites are near Diego Suarez, several hours by road and boat from Nosy Be. The excursions start from your hotel in Diego Suarez, and our tours from Nosy Be include them.
Most of our excursions run all year. The dry season, from April to November, brings the calmest sea for boat trips such as Nosy Iranja. In every season, the programme can be adapted to the weather.
Yes: most are rated easy and offer child rates from 5 to 15 years. On the quad tour, children aged 5 to 12 ride as passengers. For children under 5, please contact us.
All our trips are led by our local team, with experienced boats, vehicles and crews, and we only go to sea when conditions allow. Before travelling to Madagascar, also check your government's official travel advice.
