Head to the eastern edge of the island, athree and a half hour drive (trust us, it’s worth it) will take you cruising through beautiful farm lands and welcoming villages. In no time, you’ll be in Andasibe, known for its National Park and home to misty primary forest that’s teeming with wildlife especially the iconic lemurs. Explore the lush forest with an expert naturalist guide. Spread over 15000 hectares and with 108 species of birds, 14 species of lemurs and 84 species of amphibian, you’ll embark on a trek into the wilderness. Head up through the dense vegetation to find the Indri Indri (the biggest of the lemurs) amongst this spectacular kingdom of orchids. After anaction packed day of exploring, refuel and enjoy a relaxing drink on your terrace back in your hotel.In the evening, grab your headlamps to experience a nocturnal walk through the rainforest. Keep an eye out for the unique satanic leaf-tailed gecko and the lemurs up in the trees- watch your step as you may stumble across a sleeping chameleon.

Your final port of call is a remote fishing village, set on an extraordinarily beautiful private bay (the postcard dream kind). Only accessible by boat, leave behind the mass tourists, you will be seduced by the beautiful palm tree sea shore, over a kilometer and a half long white sandy beach with turquoise waters. Clearly visible on the horizon are the breakers that smash against one of the longest coral reefs in the world.Go adventure for deep sea fishing, or kayak through the mangroves and stumble upon one of the hidden creeks –  which you’re likely have it all to yourselves. In Madagascan style, there’s no shortage of wildlife at your fingertips. Wonder through the reserve on the lookout for countless lemurs, reptiles and if you are patient enough you may catch a glimpse of the flying fox. Here you’ll spend the evenings dining under the stars and don’t forget to pinch yourself (yes, you really are in paradise).
