Nosy Be Trips & Tours

Madagascar’s top beach location is low-key, heavenly and offers tranquil land and water activities.

The turquoise island of Nosy Be is home to some of the country’s most luxurious resorts and top beaches. Despite being Madagascar’s “busiest island” it’s still magically quiet! If you are on the search for hidden gems you are certainly in the right place; surrounding Nosy Be are a number of smaller islands, hidden coves and secret reefs just waiting for enthusiastic divers. Or, if you fancy keeping your head above water then strap on your walking boots and explore the tropical jungle that is Lokebe Nature Reserve in search of lemurs, chameleons and a kaleidoscope of birds.

Things to do

What to do in Nosy Be

The "Perfume Island" offers quite the potpourri of experiences beyond its aromatic reputation. Andilana Beach provides the requisite tropical paradise with white sands and crystal waters, while beneath the surface, sea turtles and seasonal whale sharks steal the spotlight. The last patch of primary rainforest houses some rather entertaining residents - black lemurs swing overhead while panther chameleons add splashes of colour to the greenery. Day trips to Nosy Komba bring close encounters with friendly lemurs, and the marine reserve at Nosy Tanikely offers prime snorkelling territory. Mont Passot serves up the best sunset views over the crater lakes, while the sacred tree of Mahatsinjo offers a glimpse into Sakalava cultural heritage. Hell-Ville's markets provide a proper dose of local life, and if you're about in May, the Donia Festival adds a brilliant dash of Malagasy music and dance to the mix.
