2. 5.0 Masoala Nature Guide and Tours Organize (14 reviews)
   - An excellent guide!!
   Tuesday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Multi-day Tours • Eco Tours • Sightseeing Tours • Hiking & Camping Tours • Nature & Wildlife Tours
   
   
   As a solo female traveler, I pick my guides very carefully, and I was not disappointed with my choice for a 2 day stay, including overnight camping on Nose Mangabe for a very reasonable rate (approximately £125 total). Jean Emile speaks excellent English, is so informative about the plants, animals, insects etc. He was great company and extremely patient with this old girl. He amazed me with his knowledge and especially his ability to find the wildlife on our hikes on the island. He organised everything I needed for the park, from permits, transfer boat, a tent with comfortable mattress & sleeping bag, and he is even a great cook so I enjoyed all the meals he provided. I am very happy to recommend Jean Emile to anyone who wants to see this amazing part of Madagascar, for short trips or long hikes through Masoala National Park. See more..
   
3. 5.0 Visit Masoala (10 reviews)
   - Second time in Masoala with Lauriot
   Multi-day Tours • Hiking & Camping Tours • Nature & Wildlife Tours
   
   
   My husband and I had been to Madagascar in 2016 and liked it so much that went there again this year. The first time we spent only 4 days in Masoala, which was great. This time we decided to spend a whole week there. As the first time, Lariot ([email protected]) organised everything for us. Instead of staying in a lodge in the Tampolo area as we did the first time, this time we hiked from Cap Masoala to Maroantsetra. Pristine nature, lots or animals... Everything you read about it (and more) is true. The scenery was unbeatable and so were the logistics as well. Lauriot organised the transportation, the accommodation, the cook and the delicious food, porters... Unforgettable experience that we can just recommend.

   - Masoala trip
   Multi-day Tours • Hiking & Camping Tours • Photography Tours
   This was an excellent tour in the north. Pascal was the perfect guide in our trip in Madagascar, he shared his vast knowledge of the history of both Malagasy culture and the large various ecosystems that exist on the island. Pascal is expert guides of fauna and flora in park, and the not only wildlife that he saw us incredible was amazing but he lead us for snorkeling in marine reserve and kayaking. The food and lodging was perfect for me as well, that trip is unforgettable in my dream. See more..
   
7. 4.5 Nosy Mangabe Special Reserve (21 reviews)
   - The Paradize for naturalist
   Islands • Nature & Wildlife Areas
   
   
   Nosy Mangabe is a historical place! It was the refuge for the pirates during the silk road and the slave trade! At present time, Nosy Mangabe is a protected area that often considered as part of Masoala National Park. In terms of distance, Nosy Mangabe is one hour from Maroantsetra while Masoala is about two hours and half by boat. It is a good place to see the aye-aye if you have the authorization to stay there at night. During the day time, it is a quite place with nice beach. Animals are easier to find in Nosy Mangabe as it is an island but the trail is relatively more challenging. See more..
   
8. 4.5 Farankaraina Tropical Park (6 reviews)
   - Quite an adventure just to get there!
   Spent More than 3 hours Nature & Wildlife Areas
   
   
   Farankaraina would be the least touristy of the 3 reserves in the Maroantsetra area, after Masoala and Nosy Mangabe island. None of these places receive many tourists so, as you can imagine, being the least touristy of the 3 means that if you go to Farankaraina you are almost guaranteed to be the only tourist there. When it comes to wildlife this park isn’t quite as impressive as some of the other parks in Madagascar but getting there is quite an adventure in itself…. even more so now since bridges along the route to get there were destroyed in the last cyclone in spring 2018. You now have an extra pirogue crossing and have to wade through a waist deep river along the final part of the route. I booked my trip with Nico tours who organised everything for me including my own personal guide, Pascal, who carried all the food and camping gear we needed on his dirt bike. With the exception of a chain on the bike breaking during the river crossing all went pretty smoothly. So if you’re looking for an easy hassle-free destination then this probably isn’t a place that will interest you, but if you’re looking for a real adventure, to get away from all the typical tourist destinations and relax on a beautiful secluded beach adjoining a very nice forest then this is somewhere you should definitely consider visiting.
