Introduction

This small guided group tour leads to the east of Madagascar along the Pangalanes canal, through Tamatave, Foulpointe, Fenerive Est and then from Soanierana-Ivongo by boat to the former pirate island of Sainte Marie (if the sea is not too rough), where you can see with some luck from June to September humpback whales. Then back to Tana by the domestic flight airline Tsaradia. This tour includes the visit of one Nationalpark and two small reserves. Meet the local population, enjoy the knowledge of your English speaking guide, and many opportunities to take great pictures. You’ll also experience some culinary highlights.
