Nosy Be
Warm water, easy snorkelling, ylang-ylang plantations and a string of even smaller islands offshore. Most travellers come here at the end of a wildlife trip to slow down for a few days.

Why Nosy Be
One of the regions we know best
We've spent years sending travellers across Nosy Be in every season. The trips below are built around the routes that work — the quiet ones, the beautiful ones, the ones with great food at the end of the day.
If none of them quite fit, get in touch. We'll happily build you a private version, shaped around your interests, fitness and pace.
