Day 6
Visit the Tsingy de Bemaraha
Spectacular scenery awaits you. You've probably never seen this before. You can agree with the guide how long you want to walk, but don't miss the suspension bridge. During the walk the guide will also point out various animals such as lemurs and different types of birds.

Beautiful surroundings all day long. It is very dry here and the sand is loose. You slowly bump along the road and stop here and there for a few photos. No one can take this experience away from you!
This day is yours! You can book various activities here, including snorkeling or quad biking. Taking a walk on the beach is always relaxing. You don't have to be bored.

Discuss with the guide how long you want to walk and what you would like to see. The route will be adjusted to your wishes.
