    • Green Island DiscoveryOperatorWritten March 2025

      We appreciate you sharing your travel plans with us and will be happy to answer any questions you may have. Have you thought about doing any other charity work apart from tree planting as the season for that is January and February in Madagascar. The Padre Pio House of Charity you'll be visiting on Day 14 does charity work, so you can do activities with them or make any contribution you can. You can consult our website: Green Island Discovery Madagascar in the project tab (Green Social) to know more about La Maison de Charité Padre Pio.

    Shelley

    Price / Availability
    • Green Island DiscoveryOperatorWritten November 2024

      The internal flight Tuéar-Antananarivo is not included in the price of the trip. You can book it yourselves or we can book it for you and you reimburse us on spot. Please note that you should book it in advance to avoid possible disruptions like the unavailability of places.

      Shelley

      TravelerWritten November 2024

      Is Toliara the correct airport from which we should fly?

    • Green Island DiscoveryOperatorWritten November 2024

      Yes, Tulear is the same as Toliara airport and you should book the flight Toliara-Antananarivo on 21th July.

      Can you organise an extra night in Antananarivo at the end of the trip before flying to Johannesburg?

      The walking is not too steep or very uneven. So I think you won't have troubles. However, you can walk at your own pace.

    • Green Island DiscoveryOperatorWritten November 2024

      Yes, we can organise your extra night (22/23 July 2025) in Antananarivo. The extra cost is 52$ USD.

    • Green Island DiscoveryOperatorWritten August 2024

      Yes, you can still go on this tour as solo traveller. The price of this tour for single traveller is 4400$ USD. The single supplement is already included in this price. For the moment, it is only you who wants to registrate for this tour so you don't have another male roommate yet.

    • Green Island DiscoveryOperatorWritten July 2023

      Yes, this adventure is guaranteed to depart on August 19, 2023. The price of this tour for single traveller is 4400$ USD.

    • H

      Hannah

      TravelerWritten July 2023

      I'm surprised about the price, which is almost double of what is stated on the Website. Sorry, but I cannot afford that.

    • Green Island DiscoveryOperatorWritten July 2023

      The price is high because the cost of the guide, the car rental and the room are at your expense as you are a single traveller. The price displayed on the website is based on 2 Pax. As long as there is not another registration or you have another traveller with you, the rate remains 4400$.
