The \"Grande Terre\": that's what Nosy Be calls the Malagasy coastline, which unfurls its silent mystery off to the south.<\/p>

Pirogues and dhows have been sailing up and down this coast for centuries, and we are extremely fortunate to be able to sail in this region, which we consider to be unique in the world; light and limpid air, underwater diversity, specificity of the primary coastal forests, mangrove networks, endemic plant species (over 80%), endemic bird species (over 60 %), a climate bordering on the indecent due to its regularity, the absence of trade winds between Nosy Be and the Radama islands, the calm of the sea, the kindness and humor of the Sakalavas, the visual harmony of the villages, the deep-rooted relationship with tradition and the sacred.....<\/p>

The world we visit exudes a rare, authentic sense of freedom that is best appreciated with your feet in the sand, your head in the stars, your nose in the water lilies, or aboard a pirogue or sailing dhow.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
