    FANILO TOURS image
    We had a wonderful time with Fanilo Tours, cruising the Canal des Pangalanes During the 4 hour trip, we stopped at 2 traditional Betsimisarika villages, where we had the opportunity to explore on foot and learn a little of the colorful history of the area, including the construction of this tranquil 645 km waterway. Our English and French speaking Malagasy guide was knowledgeable and personable, happy to respond to my barrage of questions about the local customs, as well as the exotic tropical vegetation lining the banks of the canal. A highlight of the trip was a 10 minute stroll from the canal across the peninsula to a gorgeous white sand beach on the Indian Ocean. Thank you Fanilo Tours for a fun experience! See more..

  4. 4.5 Phare de l'Île aux Prunes (5 reviews)
    - Adventure!
    Lighthouses
    Phare de l'Île aux Prunes image
    This island has one inhabitant who maintains the lighthouse. The day we visited there were 2 fishermen and our small tour group. The short trek through the forest was delightful and the bats were amazing. Our guide was very knowledgeable and spoke English fairly well. You will never have an opportunity to see the inner workings of a lighthouse as well as this and the view is spectacular. The snorkeling was marvelous and the beach is loaded with beautiful shells. Be prepared for primitive conditions on the boat. Don't forget a hat and sunscreen. We were treated to fresh caught poached fish, rice, and fresh coconuts from the island trees but this may not suit every palate so bring your own snacks and water. Bring waterproof bag for cameras and phones. See more..

  6. 4.0 Parc Ivoloina (114 reviews)
    - Exquisite park with knowledgeable guides
    Tuesday: 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM Nature & Wildlife Areas
    Parc Ivoloina image
    I have returned for a second visit as my 1st last year was so wonderful. The guides are so knowledgeable and are able to show you things like minute silver frogs that we would have walked straight passed. The park should be commended for their education projects aimed at local school children and communities as this is such important work. The sanctuary is beautiful and very well maintained even after heavy rains. I suggest that you don’t try drive by yourself unless you have a 4x4 or high vehicle as the roads are bad, especially during rainy season. They have a number of different lemur species, along with frogs, snakes and the exquisite giant chameleons. While the park is relatively small, it is very well worth going for the beautiful tropical scenery, very knowledgeable guides and animals. See more..

    La Palmeraie de l'Ivondro image
    At few kilometers from Tamatave, one part of the palmeraie of Ivondro can be visited by car. The best way to discover this site is to spend one or half day along the canal of pangalanes by boat. The picnic at tapakala and walk to the embouchure associated to the picnic at the palmeraie of ivondro is good idea for one day in Tamatave. There is no special animals. It is rich of typical life along the canal and birds like bee-eater which are called "bird of the Creator" See more..
