D1 : NOSY BE / ANJIABE (L/D)
RDV at the port of Nosy Be at 07H00AM and we embark on board a large traditional pirogue or a dhow and we leave to the small Island of Ankazoberavina (1h45 of quiet crossing). Bathe, plunged apnea and discovered of an incredibly rich and varied, nice and coloured underwater world. Then after a short crossing, landing with Anjiabe, long beach of 3km bordered by an semi-abandoned cocoteraie, a site with the extraordinary low tides. It is there that we bivouac. After an aperitif and seafood a meal, nap, bathe and for those which wish it, pedestrian ballade to observe the many species of birds, for the majority endemic in Madagascar. Laid down sun, aperitif.
Dinner and night in camping on the beach
D2 : ANJIABE / AMBATOFOTSY (B/L/D)
Morning departure for two hours of crossing, skirting a splendid coast with the varied and timbered relief. We plunge in the course of road on a site completely different from the day before. Then, with the veil or the engine, we continue our voyage towards Amtambao. It is about an arm of the sea apparently inaccessible. The poetry of the place is indescribable. We bivouac at the edge of a lagoon on a planted sandy headland of shrubs and coconuts. Behind, in withdrawal, a marsh where it is easy to observe herons, green pigeons,and teals. From the site, two arms of the sea curve between the mangroves towards the forest vastness and… the crocodiles. The afternoon, bathe or small ballade in the neighbourhoods of the close village. The evening, aperitif, meal and excellent evening in the light of the hurricane lamps.

D3 : AMBATOFOTSY / AMBARIOMENA (B/L/D)
Departure for approximately 2H of crossing. Diving in the course of road on a completely different site, where the coral forms large lace tables. Then we follow our cruise to Ambariomena. Here the landscape is different, quiet fjord like a lake, bordered of small beaches of orange sand and small villages. This arm of the sea is inserted then deeply in a maze of mangroves to finish in river with the feet of covered mounts of primary forest. The evening, aperitif, meal under stars.

D4 : AMBARIOMENA / MAROTONY / NOSY BE (B/L)
Departure to Nosy Iranja (1H of boat). Two Islands in fact, connected by a white sand bank of 1 km surrounded by two lagoons whose light and blue ones confer on this place a coral environment of dream. Diving in the neighbourhoods and ballade on this language of sand surprisingly white and luminous. Lunch on the beach then last sail back to Nosy Be in the afternoon. Arrival in Nosy Be, end of services.
