Nosy Be (Andoany), Madagascar

Nosy Antosha & Nosy Iranja

Lemurs and Local Fishing Village Meet Madagascan primates and enjoy lunch at a fishing village in Madagascar’s archipelago. Depart from your ship and board a boat before setting sail for the tiny island of Nosy Antosha, a private reserve where five species of endemic lemurs live. Here, these small, endangered prosimians are familiar with humans and will welcome you with playful interactions. Afterward, sail to the tropical paradise of Nosy Iranja, two islands connected by a short sand bar that is walkable at low tide but completely submerged when the sea rises. You will visit the larger of the two, inhabited Nosy Iranja, for a lunch of fresh seafood in the village. Then, walk along the beach to an old lighthouse with panoramic views. You can also swim and sunbathe, and look for sea turtles who often nest here, laying eggs in the sand. Later, head back to the port and your ship. * Moderate - Walking portions may be long and somewhat challenging with occasional step-ups, stairs and inclines. Total time walking or standing normally ranges from 1.5 to 3 hours.
