Day 1:
Arrive Madagascar (Nosy Be or Antananarivo)
If you arrive into Nosy Be airport in the afternoon or evening, you will be met at the airport and transferred to the Bed & Breakfast in Hell-ville, set high up on a hill, with great views. Restaurants and nightlife are there for you to explore at your own leisure and own expense. If your flights dictate a 1 night stay in Antananarivo on the first evening, you will spend the night in a small guest house in Antananarivo, arriving to Nosy Be on the morning of day 2.
Day 2:
Hellville to Turtle Bay Camp - Kalakajour
After breakfast in the morning, you will board the Jenman Madagascar Island Safaris ski boat, for the sail across to the island of Kalakajour. During the journey, we will troll for fish and will stop to snorkel in the clear water. On arrival, settle into your bungalow and enjoy a walk on the beach and dinner in the boma.
Day 3 - 6:
Various islands
Three days fishing boat hire has been included in your package, allowing you to enjoy the remaining time for surf fishing, kayak fishing excellent fly fishing off the rocks, or just relaxing!
Additional ski boat hire is available, should you wish for more time out on the ocean. Enjoy some excellent fishing just 3km off Turtle Bay beach, where you will find the continental shelf dropping from 10 to 100 meters, running parallel along the coast for 13km.
Because Kalakajour is largely un-populated, fishing opportunities are fantastic, and some of the species you can expect to catch are Kingfish, Sailfish, Dog-tooth tuna, Spanish Mackerel and Queen fish.
Kalakajour & the Radama islands is one of the best locations in Africa for a diverse fly fishing experience. The Ski boat is a fully kitted, 28 foot Cape Craft with 2 x 225 horse power engines.
There is also plenty to do on Kalakajour if you have other interests than fishing. Enjoy exploring around the island in a sea kayak or taking some time to walk along the beach, or try to find some of the many birds that call the Radama islands their home. The islands are also very good for snorkeling, and you may find yourself spending hours in the water, mesmerized by the fascinating sea life.

You can enjoy more trolling during your transfer from Turtle Bay Camp back to Nosy Be, where you will catch your flight to Antananarivo. Here you will overnight at the IC Hotel (or similar) close to the airport, before flying home the next day.
