Very nice trip Perfect hotel, nothing to complain about. A little disappointed by the first guide, but the second was perfect. Disappointed also by the lure of a mini catamaran cruise on the site, but this is necessarily by speedboat, there is no time to do both islands by catamaran. And no compensation between the price of a catamaran and a speedboat, it's not the same price at all. Otherwise very satisfied with sifaka voyages, and really very responsive, thank you very much.Show more

The tour is great to see all kinds of lemurs. Especially at Palmarium—a small resort within a lemur reservation....

  The price for one person at 3,935€ is over my budget, so I will look for other opportunities.
