Madagascar Motorcycle Tour: Northern Circuit

Your Madagascar motorcycle tour begins with arrival at Ivato Airport, where the guide picks you up and accompanies you to the Hotel Restaurant La Ribaudère – a 4-star property where you recover from the flight.

Early in the morning a domestic flight takes you to Diego Suarez. After arrival you get to know your rental motorcycle and relax at Ramena Beach, directly on the second largest natural bay in the world.

This stage of the Madagascar motorcycle tour passes the salt pans of Diego Suarez and the Anamakia plain to the beach at Antsiskala, then continues over the Babaomby plain, the land of the zebus, to the overnight stay at the Babaomby Island Lodge.

After the Cap d'Ambre plain you reach the historic lighthouse at the northern tip of Madagascar. In the afternoon the Madagascar enduro tour continues to the Baie du Courrier with an overnight stay in rustic bungalows.

The ascent to Windsor Castle at 391 metres offers a panoramic view over the Bay of Diego Suarez and the Mozambique Channel before the route via Cap Diego leads back to Diego Suarez.

The day combines two highlights: a hike through the red rock formations of the Tsingy Rouge and trekking in Tsingy Ankarana, before the Ankarana National Park motorcycle tour continues to Ankify.

After a stop at a small cocoa farm with coffee, vanilla and ylang-ylang, the Diego Suarez motorcycle tour continues along untouched vegetation and desert forest on the north coast to the quiet coastal town of Antsohihy, where you stay at the 4-star Hotel Belle Vue.

On this long stage of the Maevatanana motorcycle tour you cross around 377 kilometres of mineral-rich and plant-rich terrain heading north, before arriving in the well-known gold trading town in the Ikopa Valley at Hotel Le Mandarin.

The final stage of this Madagascar offroad tour leads through the scenic Central Valley back to Antananarivo, where the afternoon transfer to the airport and your return flight to Europe await – your motorcycle tour ends here.
