For an unforgettable cruise in Madagascar

Traveling with Alefa aboard a dhow or a large pirogue means embarking on a dream boat and discovering Madagascar's northwest coast.
It's also a journey across a fabulously tropical sea to an unvisited, superb region inaccessible by land. Dozens of possible stopovers between deserted beaches, invisible villages, estuaries, sandbanks, islands and mangroves.
A few hours a day on the sea and many hours on land, to take the time to breathe it in quietly, to simply discover it.
It means bivouacking comfortably every day at a new site. Building your trip as you go, without a strict itinerary. Alefa juggles dozens of bivouac sites along 400 km of coastline, and is the only provider to have been frequenting these remote locations for over thirty years.
You'll be accompanied by a team of multi-talented Malagasy sailors. With a smile, they'll bring you closer to this world they know so well, to this smiling population with its distinctive culture.
You'll be snorkeling just about every day, for the pleasure of your eyes and your discovery. You'll eat fish and all the products of this region of unsuspected riches. You'll stroll through an ever-changing land. You'll be permanently and unobtrusively close to this unique bush and its inhabitants.
With Alefa, there's no mineral water on board, just water that's permanently and safely treated. No ice cream either, just simple flavors in harmony with this offbeat world. It's an experience in its own right, to discover that the marvellous can also be found on these unsuspected paths. Everything on this journey will be out of the ordinary.
The alchemy produced by the cuisine, the landscapes, the crew, the encounters and the discoveries will gradually give shape to an extraordinary voyage that is likely to take a huge place in your memories.
If you're already dreaming about it, don't hesitate!
