Morning canoe adventure on the Manambolo River, with an afternoon exploring the Little Tsingy's. Canoe along the Manambolo, with stops to visit caves filled with stalactites, stalagmites and the famous tomb of the Vazimba tribe. Little Tsingy Visit The National Park of Tsingy de Bemaraha is classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, made up of a maze of rock formations indigenous to Madagascar. Today you will have a chance to visit Little Tsingy which is also home to some of the Decken’s sifaka and red-fronted brown lemurs.

Enjoy a full day exploring the peculiar rock formations of the 'Great Tsingy'. Hiking the Great Tsingy is more adventurous than the Little Tsingy and involves sections of scrambling on exposed rocks, crossing hanging bridges and large vertical drops. It is not technically difficult, but should not be attempted by the faint hearted or those suffering from vertigo. (The panoramic views are worth the effort though.) If you do not want to visit Great Tsingy on this day, there are alternatives to spend an additional day in Little Tsingy.

A full day driving back to Morondava, stopping for sunset at the Baobab Alley. The sandy track leads back to Morondava passing through Baobab Alley in time for sunset. Great for photographers of any level, is the opportunity to watch the sun set behind these famous Baobab trees.

Free day in Morondava to relax on the beach, visit the local market, or explore five species of mangroves in a dugout canoe or visit the fisher village.

A final morning in Morondava before flying back to Antananarivo. The tour finishes on arrival in Tana.
