Antananarivo to Nosy Be: Arriving at Nosy Be airport, you will be met and transferred by taxi to Chanty beach and then by speedboat to Sakatia Towers, which is on a small private beach. The next two days will be spent snorkelling, exploring the stunning beach and island on foot and relaxing while soaking up the sand, sea and sun.

Nosy Komba is a small island surrounded by clear water that is perfect for diving. This tiny island is secluded and remote – ideal for relaxation and fun in the sun. The big islands attraction is a large population of black lemur which roams the trees, and with any luck, marine turtles may be spotted.

Pirogue trips and deep-sea fishing can be organised for those who wish.
