The Lover's Paradise
▲▲▲▲▲Easy
The East Coast combined with the island of Nosy Be is a paradise for a nature honeymoon. The fauna and flora are present in abundance and the landscapes are magnificent. The first stage of the trip takes you to the eastern part, in the special reserve of Analamazaotra, where the largest lemur in the world called "Indri" dwells. Then, you will fly to Nosy Be: the Perfume Island, thanks to the pleasant smell of the Ylang Ylang plantations. The island will amaze you with its authentic character, its welcoming population, the natural charm of its terrestrial and underwater sites. You will enjoy your moments in love during the excursions on the island of Nosy Komba with its black lemurs, and Nosy Tanikely with its marine park where fish and turtles share this sea with turquoise waters. You will finish in beauty by a stay of relaxation at the paradisiacal beach of fine white sand with crystalline waters of Baobab Beach which is located in a protected natural reserve where you can observe ancient baobabs.

This is one of our signature tailor-made 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.
