One of the world's most original destinations.

Not only the oldest but also the fourth largest island on our planet, Madagascar is an unwrapped birthday gift.

The obvious way to explore the islands around popular Nosy Be is by catamaran.
The reason being they are stable, designed for comfort and are able to reach places the landbased tourist cannot. The boats have a trained crew aboard to guide you safely to deserted beaches and uninhabited islands. Dive or snorkel reefs that are unsurpassed in diversity and fish all day in an ocean still relatively unspoilt....
The Ethical Charter for Travellers: "Two worlds meet every time someone travels from one country to another. Travellers, tourists, discoverers, we are all of these at different times. However, without a shadow of a doubt, we are always guests. The countries we gain such joy from visiting are our hosts. The very pleasure of a holiday can rest on this sometimes delicate balance."

Madagascar is not Mauritius nor is it the Caribbean.

The good hotels are few and far between, they do not dominate all the good beaches or line the coast like soldiers. There is little, if any commercialisation here. We have selected (and experienced) some of the better valued hotels for our portfolio to suit all pockets and demands. For the adventurer, the family and the more discerning traveller....

There is enough in Madagascar to keep you busy for months but we hope to at least be able to show you a little bit, properly....
