Day 1

After arriving on the tropical island of Nosy Be, you’ll be welcomed by the warm Malagasy air and the scent of the ocean. After a short taxi transfer (approx. 20 minutes), we’ll head to the port, where a boat transfer (approx. 20 minutes) will take us to the magical island of Nosy Komba. There we’ll check in at our VERONIKA Resort, located right on the beach and surrounded by lush greenery. After the long journey, you’ll enjoy some well-deserved rest, get familiar with the surroundings, and take in your first sunsets over the ocean. The adventure is just beginning.

Day 2

Today we’ll take an unforgettable trip to one of Madagascar’s most impressive natural wonders—Ankarana National Park. We’ll walk through a landscape where sharp limestone tsingy rise from the ground like stone spikes, creating scenery that literally takes your breath away. Hanging bridges, narrow paths above deep gorges, and a rainforest full of life await us—lemurs, chameleons, bats, and dozens of endemic plants. Every step is an adventure, combining the raw beauty of the wilderness with the quiet of the tropical forest. Ankarana will captivate you—authentic, untamed, and unforgettable. We then continue further north of the island—to the town.

Day 3

We’ll head to Montagne d’Ambre National Park, a green mountain paradise with waterfalls, rainforest, and unique species of lemurs, chameleons, and plants. After an intense day, we’ll check in and enjoy a relaxing evening.

Day 4

Today we’ll spend the day on a coastal trek to three beautiful bays in northern Madagascar—Sakalava, Dunes, and Pigeons. The route takes us through savannas, rocky cliffs, and fragrant shrubs, opening up views of the endless ocean while the wind brings the scent of freedom. Each of these hidden beaches has its own rhythm, peace, and wild charm. The 3 Bays are a true gem for lovers of wild nature, silence, and off-the-beaten-path adventure.

Day 5

Today we continue to the town of Ambilobe, but along the way we’ll make a special stop. We’ll visit the fascinating Tsingy Rouge Park—red rock towers shaped by erosion, resembling a lunar landscape in shades of ochre and deep red.

Day 6

After breakfast, we’ll travel back to Nosy Komba, where we’ll check in again at VERONIKA Resort—in the heart of nature and tranquility. During the transfer, we’ll stop at a botanical garden to discover the richness of local flora—from medicinal plants to rare endemics. The next 7 days will be spent in a tropical paradise: relaxing by the sea, enjoying fresh cuisine, and taking trips to explore nearby untouched islands, mysterious beaches, and the underwater world. A perfect blend of rest, nature, and unforgettable experiences awaits.

Day 7

Trip to the Nosy Tanikely Marine National Park. Today we’ll take a boat to the nearby island of Nosy Tanikely, part of a marine national park and one of the most beautiful snorkeling spots in the area. Tanikely will charm you with crystal-clear water, colorful corals, and rich marine life—from bright tropical fish to sea turtles. The island is also home to lemurs, chameleons, and a historic lighthouse with panoramic views. A day full of color, discovery, and relaxation on a beautiful beach awaits.

Day 8

Exploring Nosy Komba Island and the local culture. Today we’ll focus on discovering Nosy Komba itself. We’ll visit its largest village, Ampangorina, where we’ll walk through narrow stone alleys, soak up the local atmosphere, and admire traditional handicrafts—from carved sculptures to textiles. We’ll also stop at the Lemur Park to meet the island’s iconic residents up close—lemurs. The day will be all about nature, culture, and authentic island life.

Day 9

Trip to the wild island of Antsoha and the paradise of Nosy Iranja. Today we’ll set off by boat on an unforgettable excursion—our first stop will be the wild island of Antsoha, where we’ll meet friendly lemurs and have the chance to take beautiful photos of them in their natural habitat. Then we’ll continue to one of the most beautiful islands in northern Madagascar—Nosy Iranja. This island is a true pearl of the world: beaches of fine white sand, shimmering shades of turquoise and deep blue, the silhouette of Madagascar in the distance… Nosy Iranja is pure paradise that will win you over from the very first step.

Day 10

Today we’ll visit a local school in one of the indigenous villages, Ampasibe, on Nosy Komba. We’ll meet children who will welcome us with smiles and curiosity—each meeting is a powerful and moving experience. If you choose to bring a small gift such as pens, pencils, or other school supplies, you’ll surely make the children very happy. This day will be about sharing, humanity, and unforgettable emotions.

Day 11

Sakatia Island, snorkeling, and encounters with ocean giants. Today we’ll take a boat to the calm, green pearl near Nosy Be—Sakatia Island. We’ll snorkel in crystal-clear water, swimming alongside majestic giant sea turtles, and end the day with a delicious picnic on the beach. Depending on the season, we may have exceptional experiences—for example, in August and September humpback whale watching, and in October and November the chance to snorkel with the whale shark, the largest fish on the planet. A unique day you’ll never forget!

Day 12

Trip to Nosy Be Island: the capital Hell-Ville, Lemuria Land, and markets. We’ll dedicate the end of our adventure to exploring Nosy Be. We’ll visit Lemuria Land—a park and botanical garden with animals—where we’ll see lemurs up close, learn about local flora, and discover the process of making ylang-ylang essential oil. Then we’ll head to the island’s capital, Hell-Ville, where local markets, souvenir shopping, and a chance to soak up the last moments of the island’s typical atmosphere await. The afternoon will be for rest and preparing for departure—full of impressions, scents, and experiences from Madagascar.
