The day trip was great. I was picked up promptly and was taken to Mantasoa Lake. Stefan the driver was very safe and careful, the car was comfortable. On the way Tony told me about some Malagasy customs which was very interesting. The boat trip was great, incredibly peaceful. The lemurs were the highlight, there are different species and friendly. Though they are comfortable with people they are free to roam around the large area as they please. Overall recommend for a day out when based in Tana

Being able to swim with the turtles was a magical moment, especially since there were so many of them (we approached about ten) and they were quite impressive in size! The diving part to discover the coral reef fish was nice but therefore much less emotional. Finally, the visit to the village of Nosy Sakatia turned out to be a little disappointing (compared to that of Nosy Iranja). Thanks once again to our guide Berto for all the explanations provided and his good humor!
