A range of activities are offered including forest walks in search of the local lemurs which include the black morph of indri, diademed sifaka and eastern woolly lemur. Chameleons, frogs and geckos are also abundant and the area offers oustanding birding with many endemic species present.

Our highlights were the lemurs of course, but the sheer variety of them was amazing and we really loved how close some got. The spiny forest was particularly great for photographs because of such amazing backgrounds. Also loved the whale shark dive and the reefs were beautifully clear.
