Your Nosy Be tour
This Nosy Be tour is designed for travellers who want to enjoy Nosy Be without rushing. It starts with the island itself — Hell-Ville market, the sacred tree of Mahatsinjo and the view from Mont Passot — then heads out by boat to the neighbouring islands before ending with two full days on Nosy Iranja.
The pace is gentle — short walks, boat trips, swimming and snorkeling — ideal for couples, friends or families, with time every day to relax on the beach.
