▲▲▲▲▲Easy
A 13-day cruise to the Radama Islands: charming islands, unspoilt natural sites, welcoming fishing villages and white-sand beaches lined with crystal-clear waters.

Beyond the wide white beaches of the Russian Bay — a favourite playground for dolphins — explore Kalakajoro Island with its lemurs and birds, the beauty of Nosy Valiha and its black-pebble beaches, and end with a bivouac under the stars on Nosy Iranja, a nesting ground for sea turtles, before returning to Nosy Be.

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.
