Makako Lodge · Nosy Komba
Whale Watching · Nosy Iranja · Lokobe · Snorkeling · 2 people minimum

Excursion 01 · Full day
By boat, we follow the entire coastline — from Ampangorina to Anjiabe, via Antamontano (pirogue carpenters' village) and Andrekareka (potters' village). Snorkeling in coves, stops in villages. Dolphins often escort the return journey.

Excursion 02 · Half day
Lokobe is the last primary forest on Nosy Be — 740 hectares accessible only by pirogue from Ambatozavavy. Wild black lemurs, panther chameleons, boa constrictors, endemic flora. Insect repellent essential.

Excursion 03 · Half day
Uninhabited island 20 minutes by boat, with an intact coral reef. Snorkeling over corals, relaxing on the white sand beach. Perfect for a half day.

Excursion 04 · Full day
Two islands in one day. Nosy Tany Kely for reef snorkeling, then Nosy Sakatia for the natural sea turtle pool. Picnic on board.

Excursion 05 · 3h · Moderate level
Depart from the lodge at 70m altitude toward the Nosy Komba ridges. Panoramic views over the archipelago, through ylang-ylang and vanilla plantations, passing through Antamontano village. About 3h, moderate level.

Excursion 06 · Full day
From July to October, humpback whales migrate through the Mozambique Channel off Nosy Komba. Boat trip to observe them — breaches, blows, flukes. High sighting rate in season. Book in advance.

Excursion 07 · Full day · 2h by boat
Two islands connected by a white sandbar submerged at high tide — one of Madagascar's most iconic images. 2h from Nosy Komba. Snorkeling, walk on the sandbar, lunch included.

Excursion 08 · Half day
Three volcanic rocks emerging a few kilometres from the lodge, surrounded by a rich coral reef. Renowned snorkeling site for fish density and water clarity.

Excursion 09 · 2h · Sundowner option
2-hour trip by traditional pirogue at sunset. No agenda — just the calm, orange light over the lagoon, and sometimes dolphins. Sundowner option available on request.

Excursion 10 · Half day
Trip with the lodge's local fishermen partners. Line fishing from the pirogue, return with the catch of the day — sometimes cooked that evening by the team.

Excursion · 2h · Departs from the lodge
From the lodge, paddle your way along the rocky coves and wild coastline of Nosy Komba. Early in the morning the sea is glass-calm and the low light reveals the jungle plunging straight into the water. A simple, quiet activity — just the lap of the waves and birdsong. Perfect for children and beginners alike.
