Hiking to Akiba

A short climb from Ampangorina leads to the eco-village of Akiba, where sustainable farming is practiced and chocolate is handmade from bean to bar. The village produces essential oils and supports local schools. Hike all the way to the 622m summit for breathtaking views.

A local guide is recommended — paths are not always clearly marked.

Nosy Komba Island Cruise

Opt for a relaxing boat ride around the island, with the option of stopping at one of the local gargottes for lunch. Snorkel in the clear waters, browse beachfront markets, and take in the beautiful scenery.

Musée Lovako

Visit the local museum in Ampangorina Village to gain insight into the history and cultural heritage of Nosy Komba. Entry includes a knowledgeable guide. Can be paired with a trip to the Black Lemur Sanctuary.

Black Lemur Sanctuary

Nosy Komba is famous for its free-roaming lemurs. The sanctuary is home to pythons, tortoises, chameleons, and a variety of bird species. With a little encouragement, lemurs may hop onto your shoulder.

Lemurs are fady (sacred) — any mistreatment is strictly prohibited.

Local Artisan Markets

Browse local artisan stalls and small markets during your stay. Many items are handmade on the island or brought from the mainland. Shopping locally is a wonderful way to support the community.
