Begin your day with a pickup from your hotel in Nosy Be. Head to Dzamandzar, a village that tells the storey of Nosy Be’s colonial past and economic transformations. Once a sugar-producing centre, it now offers a glimpse into the island’s history.
Next, visit the Sacred Waterfall, a place of peace and rituals still used by locals for traditional ceremonies. Continue to Hell-Ville, where you’ll stroll through the lively covered market, immersing yourself in the colours and scents of everyday life.
For lunch, choose between a typical Malagasy meal to savour traditional local dishes or a panoramic restaurant with an unforgettable view of Nosy Tanikely, Nosy Komba, and the coast of Madagascar.
After lunch, visit the town of Marodoka, where you’ll meet local women, enjoy traditional dances, and participate in a mini workshop on typical Malagasy cuisine. Then, visit the Sacred Tree, a symbol of Malagasy spirituality, surrounded by rituals and legends.
Next, head to a renowned Ylang Ylang distillery in the eastern part of the island to learn how the essential oil is prepared and its environmental impact. Continue to the Sacred Lakes, places of worship and spirituality, considered the home of ancestors.
Finally, climb to the highest point of Nosy Be, Mont Passot, to admire the sunset over the volcanic lakes and the ocean. This natural spectacle ends your day with emotion, leaving you with a profound and humane memory.
