Why Do You Need a Tour Guide for Your Trip to Madagascar ?

With the new tourism trend in Madagascar, many travelers now opt for a light trip : no guide, just a driver and a car, and they manage on their own. However, Madagascar, with its varied landscapes, vast biodiversity, and diverse cultures, will not fully reveal its wonders without the help of tour guides. They are the ones who will make you dream! Exploring this immense island without a tour guide can quickly become an obstacle course : contradictory information online, difficulties in organizing an optimal itinerary, language barriers… Why complicate your life ?

Where to Dive in Sainte-Marie ?

Sainte-Marie, though less famous than Nosy Be for diving, offers exceptional sites accessible to all levels, particularly around Île aux Nattes. Several dive clubs operate here, but not all guarantee the same level of professionalism. Here are our favourite spots for an unforgettable underwater experience.

Excursion on the Pangalanes Canal

Stretching for approximately 700 km along the eastern coast of Madagascar, the Pangalanes Canal is a beauty, a national treasure. Between peaceful lakes and narrow passages, it links Tamatave (Toamasina) to Farafangana, offering a striking spectacle. It was the French who, in the late 1940s, undertook to connect this succession of estuaries to create a north-south waterway, safer than the often rough and dangerous Indian Ocean.
