Nosy be (Perfume Island Extention)

Nosy Be is Madagascar's premier tropical island destination, known as the "Perfume Island" for its intoxicating natural fragrances of ylang-ylang flowers, sugar cane, and exotic spices that fill the air. Located off Madagascar's northwest coast, Nosy Be serves as the main island of a stunning archipelago featuring pristine beaches, coral reefs, and lush tropical vegetation. Our 6-day Nosy Be extension showcases why this Madagascar island paradise has become synonymous with luxury beach holidays, offering the perfect combination of wildlife encounters, water activities, and relaxation. The island's unique microclimate and volcanic soil create ideal conditions for aromatic plants, making every breath a sensory experience that defines the "Perfume Island" reputation.

Our Nosy Be tour features exclusive excursions to Madagascar's most spectacular nearby islands. You'll explore Nosy Komba, famous for its protected lemur population where you can safely observe black lemurs in their natural forest habitat while hiking through lush vegetation to spot chameleons and sea turtles. The tour includes Nosy Tanikely, a marine reserve with exceptional coral reefs perfect for snorkeling and diving among tropical fish species found nowhere else in the Indian Ocean. These Madagascar island excursions offer the perfect blend of wildlife encounters and underwater adventures, with pristine white sandy beaches for relaxation between activities. Each island maintains its unique character and ecosystem, providing diverse experiences within the Nosy Be archipelago.

Nosy Be offers Madagascar's best water activity experiences with options for every adventure level. Our tour includes snorkeling at Nosy Tanikely's world-class coral reefs, home to endemic fish species and pristine underwater ecosystems. You can choose from scuba diving for beginners ("baptism of diving"), bike rides along wild beaches, deep-sea fishing, kayaking through mangrove channels, or sunset sailing trips. The warm Indian Ocean waters surrounding Madagascar's Perfume Island provide year-round perfect conditions for water sports. Advanced divers can explore underwater caves and drop-offs, while families enjoy safe swimming at protected beaches. The flexible itinerary allows you to customize your water adventures based on personal interests and skill levels.

A Nosy Be extension provides the perfect tropical finale to any Madagascar mainland safari experience. After exploring lemur forests, Tsingy formations, or baobab landscapes on the main island, Nosy Be offers essential relaxation time to process your wildlife adventures while enjoying pristine beaches and warm Indian Ocean waters. The 6-day extension allows you to experience Madagascar's marine ecosystems and coral reefs - a completely different side of the island's biodiversity. You'll encounter black lemurs on Nosy Komba (different species from mainland forests), enjoy snorkeling among endemic fish, and experience the laid-back island culture distinct from highland communities. This combination creates a comprehensive Madagascar experience covering terrestrial and marine environments.

Our Nosy Be Perfume Island extension features carefully selected beachfront accommodations that maximize your tropical island experience. You'll stay at Palm Beach resort, perfectly positioned for beach access and water activities, offering authentic island ambiance with modern amenities. The tour begins with an overnight at Hotel Nosy Manga in Antananarivo before flying to the island paradise. These Madagascar island accommodations provide easy access to Nosy Komba and Nosy Tanikely excursions while offering stunning ocean views, tropical gardens, and proximity to local restaurants featuring fresh seafood and Malagasy island cuisine. The beachfront locations ensure you can enjoy sunrise and sunset views over the Indian Ocean while maintaining comfort and authentic island hospitality that defines the Nosy Be experience.
