A Blissful Holiday on Hidden Islands
▲▲▲▲▲Easy
On the northwest coast of Madagascar, small idyllic islands are scattered on the Mozambique Channel surrounding Nosy Be. Pearls endowed with natural charms where some have a great environmental wealth sheltering black lemurs, whereas others offer magnificent beaches with waters abounding in multicolored fish, turtles which will dazzle the eyes of the divers. But the most beautiful of all is definitely Tsarabanjina, edged with unexplored crystalline waters bounded by a coral reef and hemmed with pristine beaches, this unique island of the Mitsio archipelago seems to come from the meanders of our imagination. With the existence of a comfort accommodation on the spot, this small corner has everything to promise you a stay out of the ordinary.

This is one of our signature guided journeys in Madagascar. We've walked it many times — alone, with friends, with our own families — and we've shaped it into something we're genuinely proud of.
You'll be in a small group, led by a local guide who knows the trails, the families along the way, and the best place to stop for lunch. Nothing rushed. Nothing generic.
