Your possible Tour to Maroantsetra can start, for example, in Andasibe, where you should first definitely take a trip to the Andasibe National Park. This park is more than 150 square kilometers in size and is home to a particularly rich flora and fauna. In the Andasibe National Park you can observe lemurs and colorful birds as well as countless insects, flowering plants and reptiles. Once you have explored the national park extensively, we recommend you to continue your journey to Toamasina via Brickaville. Toamasina is probably the most important port city of Madagascar and has about 200,000 inhabitants. There you can either wander through the alleys of the city, visit the harbor, be driven around by rickshaw or take a rental bike to one of the nearby beaches.
In addition, it also offers a Ride on the nearby Canal des Pangalanes a very popular and important waterway in Madagascar. Toamasina is also the ideal starting point for excursions to Sainte Marie or Foulpointe. For this you only have to travel a little further north. For the Translate to Sainte Marie we recommend the plane from Tamatave. Although there is also the possibility of Soanierana-Ivongo with the cheap ferry to cross, because the sea is particularly unpredictable at this point, there have been accidents here in the past.
It goes on to Maroantsetra
Maroantsetra is situated on the Madagascan Masoala Peninsula and is quite difficult to reach by land. Accordingly, we also recommend the plane from Tamatave in this context. Road connections can be used as an alternative, but the conditions are sometimes more bad than good. Who prefers the land way, should accordingly sufficient much time in the luggage have. Maroantsetra is a small town in Antongil Bay and has quite an isolated location. Not many tourists come here, which is a special attraction factor. The Masoala National Park is located in the immediate vicinity and gives an impression into the nature of the original Primary forests on the island Madagascar. Also over to the island of Nosy Mangabe it is only a small stone's throw. If you can spare a little more time and are in the mood for some great beaches and bays, a little further north begins the so-called Vanilla Coastwhich lives up to its name. For physically fit travelers should be the mastering of the Masoala Treckswhich leads over a length of about one hundred kilometers across the Masoala Peninsula, will be a real highlight.
