Description

Experience an unforgettable day immersed in the rural life of the Red Island.
Departing from the port of Hell-Ville, we will board speedboats to reach the port of Ankify, the gateway to the Mainland, about a 40-minute boat ride away. Upon arrival in Ankify, you will immediately dive into the hustle and bustle of local porters and markets, while the lush vegetation gradually shifts along the 45-minute drive to the village of Ambanja, a crossroads for goods arriving from the capital. In Ambanja, you will discover the cathedral, the local markets, and the Sambirano River, experiencing daily local life off the beaten tourist path. We will visit a village home to a majestic Baobab tree, a symbol of Madagascar's strength and beauty. After a traditional Malagasy lunch, we will explore a world-renowned cocoa plantation and discover all the secrets of its production, from bean to chocolate.
