Unforgettable Walk at Pointe Evatra and Lokaro Bay

Lokaro Bay, nestled 40 km from Fort-Dauphin, is one of Madagascar’s natural wonders that deserves to be explored. If you haven’t visited it yet, now is the perfect time to add it to your itinerary and treat yourself to an unforgettable experience.

Lokaro Bay offers enchanting landscapes with its deserted coves, pristine white sand beaches, and turquoise waters sparkling under the sun. The adventure begins with a 4X4 excursion through magnificent panoramas, followed by a boat expedition on the mangrove river leading to the fishing village of Evatra. After a few hours of walking through untouched nature, you will finally reach the bay. At the top of a hill, a spectacular viewpoint awaits you: the lake meets the sea, offering a panorama that will bring tears to your eyes, like in a Disney film.

To fully enjoy this experience, it is advisable to book a complete package with your tour operator. This guarantees secure logistics and includes meals. Plan for a full day or a circuit with a bivouac to savor every moment. Don’t forget to bring your swimsuit, a cap, water bottles, and a windbreaker for the return at nightfall. The untouched nature and immersion in local life will leave you with unforgettable memories.

However, be aware that access to the bay can be difficult, even in a 4X4, and the walk is much more interesting on the water. Always check the condition of the pirogue and whether the pirogue operator is experienced if you choose to go on a paddled and sailed pirogue, as it can be dangerous in rough weather. For a motorboat excursion, leave at 7 AM and return at 4 PM. For those who wish to immerse themselves in Malagasy life, plan for two days with accommodation in Evatra, even if the comfort is basic, with bucket showers.
