Swimming under a curtain of water in a waterfall hidden in a dense tropical jungle is an extraordinary experience.
The African folk dance of the RAVINALA women's association in the quiet and friendly Ambanoro, visited by few, will also remain a special memory.
Especially, if you try the Lemur, or Crocodile dance together with the native women!
The hustle and bustle of the local market, with its cavalcade of colours and scents, will enchant anyone.
In this one-day trip, we bring it all together to give you a taste of the historical, cultural and gastronomic aspects of Nosy Be, with a touch of the exotic.

After lunch, it's a good half-hour drive to the hidden sacred waterfall in the heart of Nosy Be. Here, a short 10-minute walk through the jungle leads to the waterfall. You will have about an hour and a half to two hours to admire this natural beauty and take a dip in the waterfall's cool waters. You can even jump off the cliffs into the lake. We are always accompanied by some locals, mainly children who are very friendly and helpful. They are happy to show us where we are allowed to jump from, but they are also careful not to violate the sanctity of the place.
