At the start of this Madagascar Vacation Package to Nosy Be Islands you are collected from the Nosy Be Airport. Nosy Be is an archipelago of over twenty small islands dotting the Indian Ocean near the shores of northwestern Madagascar.
The airport is located on the busiest main island of the Nosy Be archipelago. From there you are transferred to your luxury beach hotel on Nosy Komba, the most attractive island of the Nosy Be archipelago. It takes about 15 minutes to reach Nosy Komba from Nosy Be, by boat.
Arriving on Nosy Komba you are taken to your luxury beach lodge located on the eastern side of the island. This lush island is a haven for Madagascar lemurs that the locals deem sacred, and is thus also known as Lemur Island.
Settle into your private bungalow and relax at the laid-back lodge. Sit back and enjoy the gorgeous ocean views with a cold drink in hand. Or, head straight down to the luxury lodge's own private beach and stroll through the lush gardens.
Spend the next few days easing into island life and relaxing into your beach holiday on the tropical islands of Nosy Be. You have plenty of time to enjoy the sandy beaches of Nosy Be and soak up the idyllic scenery on this Madagascar Vacation Package.
As one of the top travel destinations in Madagascar, Nosy Be is a beach paradise with stunning white-sand beaches and warm turquoise waters. Nosy Be is known for its sweet blend of fragrances, earning it the nickname of Nosy Manitra, which means 'The Perfumed Island". Fragrant ylang-ylang, frangipani, and vanilla, as well as cocoa, cinnamon, and sugar cane, are grown on the islands.
There are plenty of things to do in the Nosy Be Island archipelago. From relaxing on its unspoiled beaches to visiting the ylang-ylang distillery and climbing Mount Lokone (450m) or Mount Passot (350m). The islands are unspoiled and free of over-development, featuring low-key beach lodges.
Go swimming in clear blue waters, laze on secluded beaches, feast on seafood, and watch beautiful sunsets. Set off sailing on a catamaran, or take a fishing trip. Go island hopping to the smaller islands off Nosy Be. Head to Nosy Tanikely island for outstanding snorkeling and Nosy Sakatia for excellent scuba diving. Take a guided spice tour and head into Hell-Ville to mingle with the locals and buy affordable spices in the bustling market. Sit back with sundowners at the small rustic bar perched on Mount Passot, enjoying the breathtaking views over the sacred crater lakes and surroundings.
Be sure to explore Nosy Komba and watch the resident lemurs, including the semi-tame black lemurs (Macaco) in the trees. Also, don't miss hiking in the rainforests of the Lobeke nature reserve, as well as visiting the volcanic lakes. Keep an eye out for the diversity of fascinating animals and plants found on the islands.
Wake up to paradise again and savor the bliss of your private beach bungalow one last time.
