Best Excursion Ever Highly Recommend as Experienced Travelers

5.00We met Appolino immediately after getting to Port. Extremely friendly, informative, and knowledgeable. We enjoyed the ride to the beach area and loaded into a handmade canoe, we were then towed by boat to the Isle of Lemurs Nature Preserve. The locals were very friendly upon our arrival and washed our feet off. The walk through the jungle was a nice pace. We had 2 guides that could spot anything. Tiny chameleons, frogs, geckos that looked exactly like the tree, boas, and of course the beautiful lemurs. My wife had several crawling on her arms and shoulders. They were incredibly soft. We held the boa around our shoulders. My wife took a dip under the waterfall which was the runoff from the mountain. Absolutely beautiful. Held the chameleons. Too much to write. After getting back we were served an incredible authentic Malagasi meal, fish, shrimp, beef skewers, coconut, and fruits. They were funny and energetic. We've traveled frequently as well as 8 other cruises. This was my wife's favorite and I had to agree. If you want to see Madagascar in a day, this is it. Thank you Yemaya, Appalino, and his fellow guide.

5.00We had a great time visiting lokobe reserve, from the dugout paddle to the different species of lemurs if you want a great guild ask for Romeo +261328161279. We did a couple of different tours with him and he was great.
A fantastic and interesting day out at Lokobe Forest, only accessible by boat.

5.00An excellent day trip, with very knowledgeable guides who managed to spot a lot of camouflaged creatures.Be sure to bring insect repellent, good walking shoes and a lot of small notes of local currency as there is an expectation of a tip, by the local children, for services like rinsing feet, assisting with the boat etc. Some tissues and wet wipes are also recommended as the toilet facilities are limited but also for cleaning your hands after the delicious local lunch.
Very nice tour to Lokobe National Park

4.00After short initial difficulties (on weekends bookings are not read), our tour took place one day late. The tour itself was great, our guide made every effort and we could observe a lot of animals. The included food was very delicious and plentiful. The trip by local boat was also an experience. We really liked it.

5.00Beautiful boating in pirogue of about 30 minutes. Then I ride in the forest among lemurs, frogs, geckos and chameleons. Very interesting. The only thing would have been nicer to have lunch at the lodges instead of the starting village. Prepared guides

5.00Beautiful experience looking for geckos, snakes and lemurs. The guides will help you in the search for animals that would otherwise go unnoticed. Like uroplatus camouflaging itself in the bark of trees, incredible. Or the smallest lemur in the world, the microcebus, which sleeps hidden in some ravine. Simple trekking also suitable for children. The village of Ampasipohy from which you start offers a good selection of local artifacts.
