7 Tours in Nosy Be That You Shouldn't Miss
“Nosy Be?” Is that a typo for “Noisy Bee?” Nope. It means “big island” and it is just that; a large island off the northwest coast of Madagascar. Here you’ll find volcanic lakes, lazy lemurs, rum distilleries, Ylang Ylang plantations and intricate coral reefs that are practically begging to be explored. Flora and fauna lovers will be in seventh heaven at the beautiful Lokobe Nature Special Reserve. Audiophiles should visit in May, to experience the four-day Donia Music Festival.

My guide Edilson, was good. He knows the history of the places we visited, but the structure of the tour and service is way too low for this price. You can get a Ballon ride in Bagan for US$300! So, the mean of transportation is tuk-tuk, which is a surprise because it is not mentioned in the description. Of course, using slow transportation means you cannot quickly reach different places. I did not get bottled water, although it is the tour description. I tried exactly three exotic fruits in the market. Better do not ask about hygene! I got a lunch (though tasty!) in a very mediockre lunch place. I visited Fortress, one Art exhibition, park, an inyard of museum and I saw from a distance two churches ,and visited a handicraft market and French Culture center. In comparison: a guided walking tour (3 hours) in Bruklyn to visit around 60+ murals costed US$20. A walking tour in Kyiv (3,5 hours) to see architecture pearls costed US$20 per person.
