Cycling to sightseeing, with the help of locals

by Norali

Madagascar offers enough landscape variety to please the occasional, amateur, experienced cyclers. Although Antananarivo and its province do not have any beach, they offer some opportunities to see other landscapes: the highlands. Through these areas, you can either walk either cycle either ride a motorbike to see the plains, the villages, their inhabitants, the ricefields in cascades, in plains. Also its geography allows variations in declivity, that may interest experienced cyclers, for instance. Same for the other areas, except that you may cycle along the coast that is quite cool too. Know however that temps are much higher in coastal areas & you maybe interested in cycling, touring only in cooler areas such as the Highlands (Antananarivo & Fianarantsoa provinces). From pure sport, it will evolve into some sightseeing tour.OK, you don't know where to go, which route to follow, you...

Nautic sports, trekking, extreme sports

by Norali

Madagascar is so diverse so it is possible to discover biodiversity while biking, trekking, horseriding, diving, fishing, hang-gliding...Am very aware I have covered tiny parts of my vast island... the North is, for instance, very unknown to me. Am rather used to treks and hilltripping in Highlands and the South... but read and check pictures... Also, I'll try, in the next & future tips, to add practical info about where to hire equipment, how much... bear with me! It will take time to consult those agencies in Tana... *Scuba diving is a specialty of Nosy be, Nosy Boraha (Ste- Marie), Taolanaro (Fort-Dauphin) and Ifaty... but with 5000 kms of beach, other great and non-touristy spots surely exist and may surprise with things they offer. Bring your own scuba camera and specific tools. I am not sure they are in constant assortment in shops there.*Trekking is done everywhere, especially in...

Go snorkling and diving

by ATLC

I don't know much about diving and serious snorkling I did only once..... here in Madagascar! A brilliant experience Just hire a pirogue (boat) with guys to sail it and some equipment. For a few hours of fun you pay a mere few bucks per person. If I remember correctly some €10.

Diving in Nosy be

by maramara

Around Nosy be there are more than 80 diving spots, and it is hard describing the meetings that might take place, the majesty of the coral conformations, the colours you can see and the splendid variety of species living in it: the only way is to dive personally in this natural aquarium of crystalline water. From the mysterious dragon fish, to the coral black albino, and all the species that have not been listed yet. The most surprising thing how calm are calm all these creatures that let you go into their own home, without fear to defend themselves, as they are still little accustomed to our presence. You will hardly find coral or lifless animals or mantas or turtles escaping frightened: they have never been annoyed by anybody.But the most remarkable thing you is the biggest fish in the world: the shark whale. It comes and visits Nosy be regularly, each year, in the period that goes...
