Excellent private bivouac excursion to Nosy Iranja. Our great tour guide Romeo and skipper made sure we got to see as much marine life as possible. We were very lucky to have seen whale sharks, whales, turtles, and dolphins. Overall a great two days!Publié sur Google![]()

Excursión con bivouac increíble a Nosy Iranja. Vaya lugar tan espectacular. Tanto Laura como Romeo fueron muy atentos y nos ayudaron en todo. Destacar a Romeo porque ha sido un guía increíble y pasamos mucho rato con él además muy agusto. Durante mi estancia fue mi cumpleaños y me prepararon una tira de happy birthday con unos mojitos y picoteo al atardecer. La verdad que todo de 10. Las cabañas estaban al lado del mar que tenía un color turquesa precioso. Una gozada amanecer ahí. Añadir que Romeo a la mañana siguiente nos llevó a hacer snorkel para buscar tortugitas ya que está lleno. Experiencia muy recomendable.Publié sur Google![]()

Wir hatten einen 3-wöchigen Aufenthalt organisiert nach unseren Wünschen von www.colours-of-madagascar.com. Alles war wie geplant, vom abholen am Flughafen, Geldwechsel vor Ort, Hotel-Check-in, Tagesausflüge, etc. etc. Hammer! Auch durften wir eine wunderbare 8-tägige Nordmadagascar-Tour mit dem super Team von www.colours-of-madagascar.com erleben. Alles war perfekt geplant vom Bootstranfer aufs Festland wo uns unser Fahrer Léonard, herzlich empfing. Nebst seinem angenehmen Autofahrkünsten, konnte er uns auch alles was wir wissen wollten bestens erklären und beantworten. Wir hatten spannende Tage im Norden von Madagascar erleben dürfen mit vielen neuen Eindrücken und Erfahrungen, einfach genial. Besten Dank an das Team von Laura und Gaillord wir können es nur weiterempfehlen. www.colours-of-madagascar.comPublié sur Google![]()

One thing for sure: you will not regret the experience. We had 40% of chance to see whales but we did! The crew is nothing but ptofessional and well equipped if you cannot swim well for snorkeling too. I highly recommend them.Publié sur Google![]()

Hicimos tres excursiones con esta empresa y terminamos muy contentos, porque ni te llevan donde va el mogollón de gente, sino que estuvimos en los sitios más turísticos pero casi solos cambiando algunas horas y tal para verlo de una mejor forma. Además, tuvieron extras muy interesantes. Claramente intentan diferenciarse por la calidad y un trato más cercano, y se nota!! (:Publié sur Google![]()

Wir haben einen Koch- und Tanzkurs und eine Übernachtung auf Nosy Iranja mit Colours of Madagaskar gebucht. Es waren zwei tollen Ausflüge und die Kommunikation in Vorfeld war super einfach. Die entspannte und stressfreie Art von unserem Guide Romeo hat sich auf uns übertragen. Wir haben uns immer gut aufgehoben und wohl gefühlt. Die Individualität und die kleinen Gruppen waren sehr wertvoll.Publié sur Google![]()

Fantastic tour- cannot recommend enough!! Laura was super helpful with organisation, even organising a boat transfer directly from our accommodation, despite our last-minute decision! Romeo was an excellent guide, can’t thank him enough. The island was exquisite and day excursions to neighbouring islands was an added bonus. Overall, this was an unforgettable trip- thank you!!!
