2022 Marine Adventure - Where the forest meets the sea

This small international group trip will be guided by An Bollen - a specialist in Tropical Ecology since 2003 with a lot of experience in Marine biology and diving. 
This itinerary will take you to the north-western corner of Madagascar between Nosy Be and Diego Suarez. Especially designed for ocean-lovers, we focus on colourful tropical coral reefs, seagrass beds, vast sandy beaches as well as rocky islets, lagoons, mangroves and the open sea to look for marine megafauna and to enjoy the beauty and diversity of the underwater world. Since it would be a shame to miss out on the unique and endemic Malagasy wildlife and flora on land, we also include visits to several national parks and community reserves along the way to look for lemurs, chameleons, frogs and birds in a lush vegetation. This adventurous trip truly allows for a great exploration of the unique Malagasy biodiversity. Along our journey, we will get insight into different conservation approaches and how ecotourism supports conservation, be it in traditionally government-managed national parks, through conservation tourism as well as in community-run reserves that contribute not just to safeguarding the amazing natural heritage but also to providing additional income for communities. Come and join us on this marine and terrestrial biodiversity journey to experience it first-hand!
