Nosy Be

Best period
avr–déc
Recommended duration

The most visited of the North-West islands, and the easiest to reach on a direct flight. Ylang-ylang plantations, resort beaches, and a scatter of islets a short boat ride away — Nosy Tanikely, Nosy Sakatia, Nosy Komba.

The planner's tip

Treat Nosy Be as a base camp rather than a single destination — the best moments are on the islets around it.
