Observer les animaux marins tels que les baleines à<br />
bosse, les dauphins, les requins baleines, les tortues<br />
marines… Visiter les lieux historiques de l’île, les<br />
trekkings, les circuits en quad, en chevaux (même si on<br />
parle moins de ces derniers...)<br />
Il y a également tous les événements organisés sur<br />
notre île : les festivités musicales et culturelles comme<br />
le Donia et le Somaroho qui sont des événements<br />
plutôt populaires ; mais aussi le Nosy Be Jazz Festival<br />
qui se tient chaque année ou encore le Nosy Be<br />
Symphonies. Beaucoup d’événements sportifs comme<br />
des courses de vélo et de moto sont organisés. Ils<br />
rassemblent bien souvent des sportifs internationaux.<br />
Cela dit, au-delà de ces activités, ce qui attire<br />
vraiment les touristes ici, c'est le mode de vie de la<br />
population et la beauté de l'île. En plus d'essayer les<br />
nombreuses activités, ils viennent se détendre. Mais il<br />
y a tant à voir et à faire ; Nosy-Be ne cesse jamais de<br />
surprendre et beaucoup de visiteurs aimeraient rester<br />
pour toujours.<br />
Nosy-Be pourrait être la vitrine de Madagascar,<br />
comme la grande île en miniature, tellement ses<br />
richesses sont nombreuses, uniques, ses espèces bien<br />
souvent endémiques.<br />
In your opinion, what are the most popular<br />
attractions and adventure activities for visitors<br />
coming to Nosy Be?<br />
The beaches, water sports, the parks, the nature<br />
reserves and cultural activities. There are the not-tobe-missed<br />
activities promoted for their natural beauty:<br />
observation of marine fauna such as humpback whales,<br />
dolphins, whale sharks and sea turtles plus on land,<br />
hiking, quad-biking, horse-riding, even though these<br />
are mentioned less often.<br />
Of course, there are musical and cultural festivals<br />
such as the Donia and the Somaroho, which are popular<br />
tourist events, as well as the annual Jazz Festival, the<br />
‘Symphony’, and many more. Nosy-Be also holds a host<br />
of other events, such as cycle and motorbike races,<br />
which often attract international sports personalities.<br />
Having said that, apart from these activities, what<br />
really attracts tourists here is the way of life of the<br />
population and the island’s sheer beauty. As well as<br />
trying the many activities, they come to relax. But there<br />
is so much to see and do ; Nosy-Be never ceases to<br />
amaze and many visitors would like to stay forever.<br />
I can say that Nosy-Be is a unique island of incredible<br />
wealth, with its endemic species that contribute<br />
greatly to its specific character. Through the activities<br />
organised, Nosy-Be has taken on an autonomous<br />
character: a miniature version of the main island, the<br />
showcase of Madagascar.<br />
