Madagascar is a lesser known travel destination. For visitors who like to venture off the beaten path, a kayaking trip to Madagascar is an unbeatable journey! There are many unexplored rapids and spectacular scenery too. Lily Falls is one of the best intermediate rapids in Madagascar, it’s easy to access, navigate and offers an exciting 20m plunge! Lily falls was named after a local girl who drowned in the turbulent waters over 40 years ago. Lily Falls is also known as Chutes de la Lily by the locals and runs off from the Liliha River in the village of Antafofo.
There is some debate about the best time of year to do the Lilly; some say the high waters are best between December and April. An important consideration is that the raised water levels invite more crocs than usual. While the crocs tend to stay away from people, it’s still a concern! If you are in the area during the rainy season, the falls are quite an impressive sight and an even more impressive photo. Come white water rafting on the rapids by Lily Falls and enjoy an unforgettable adventure complemented by beautiful scenery!
