Slow down at Cactus Hotel, where simple bungalows sit beside an immense beach and a natural coastal swimming pool.

Explore Cap Sainte Marie Special Reserve, its cliffs, dunes, lighthouse and caves, then continue to the remote surf village of Lavanono.

Head out with an experienced local crew, try fishing, enjoy your freshly cooked catch and relax on isolated beaches before cruising back along the coast.

Follow sandy tracks north to Itampolo, passing remote villages and wide open coastal scenery. Arrive in time for sunset beside the sea.

Choose between whale watching, surfing, snorkelling, fishing, kite surfing, windsurfing or a relaxed boat-and-beach day.

Choose another trek, spend time at the lodge or explore shorter viewpoints before visiting the iconic Isalo Window in the late afternoon.

Travel north through Ambalavao and Fianarantsoa, watching the landscape become greener before arriving in Ranomafana.

Explore Ranomafana's steep rainforest trails with an expert guide, then meet the Tanala community to learn how life changed after people moved outside the forest.
