It's home to giant tortoises over 200 years old, the largest chameleons, crocodiles and many other interesting species to see and even touch. We visit their ylang-ylang distillery to admire it in amidst a cloud of intoxicating fragrance. After, either lunch in the best Malagasy restaurant or go on to visit the famous Sacred Tree. It's like the Tree of Souls in the movie Avatar. With luck, we meet a friendly lemur family too. Then we go on to the hidden waterfall, but before arriving we have lunch at the restaurant of the local fish smoker. After a 5-10 min jungle walk, head for the waterfall's cooling lake.

    A night jungle trek is like no other. Fantastic atmosphere, extraordinary creatures. Only someone who's been on one knows that.

    8. Exploring Nosy Sakatia with guide

    4.9· 18 reviews· 4.5 hours

    Experience on an island recognized and protected as a Nature Reserve. Sea and sun punctuate the culture and traditional activities of the inhabitants: fishermen, artisans, children and the elderly are immersed in everyday life to the rhythm of an astonishing nature. The coral reef is easily reached by swimming. The island is world famous for its natural pools located under the Sacred Mountain. The depths rich in poseidonia are the ideal habitat for giant sea turtles: these turtles are so accustomed to the harmless movement of the fishermen with their motorless pirogues that the human presence has become familiar. You will swim very close to them.

    4.8· 21 reviews

    It is a real 6 hours jungle trek, a wonderful experience. It's like being in a David Attenburough film. Funny lemurs and chameleons, exotic plants, like Jackfruit, cocoa, lychee, pepper and coffee bushes, vanilla and a lot more. It's not a simple walk on a paved nature trail, so for prepared travellers only. After reaching the island peak, in the second half of the trek we meet more and more lemurs, who are very friendly in winter, even jumping on us gently and accepting bananas from our hands, to eat sitting on our shoulders or heads. It's a real jungle adventure! You'll encounter real jungle villages with friendly indigenous people and such flora and fauna that you have only seen in nature films. During the tour you can taste things like the fresh cocoa fruit (the flesh of cocoa), the sweetness of raw sugar cane, jackfruit or soursop, 8 kinds of mango in season and other special fruits that don't even have a name in English or French! Try it and you will never forget nor regret it!
