Experience the beauty of the Madagascar coast on this relaxing sailing trip around the famous island region.
Embarking from the island of Nosy Be we will spend our time exploring beautiful local beaches and marveling at the wide variety of mainly endemic flora and fauna. The Catamaran is especially suited for docking on sandy beaches, allowing for many opportunities to go ashore to explore. During the cruise you will likely meet a variety of marvelous sea creatures, including sea turtles, dolphins and humpback whales.
Optional yoga, meditation and mantra classes will be offered on-board while cruising. Suitable for all levels of practitioner, the classes provide a great opportunity to slow down and connect to the power of nature. As you embrace the freedom of the open water you may find yourself delving deeply into your inner self, exploring the places inside that need healing and releasing the unnecessary baggage accumulated in your day to day life.
Step away from the fast pace of the modern world and give yourself the adventure and relaxation you deserve!

This to bring/consider:
* Travel insurance - it might be worthwhile checking with your company to ensure you're covered for sailing activities or any last-minute emergencies,
* Travel dates - if your schedule allows it, stay an extra day before and after your trip. Don’t fly in on Saturday and join the boat immediately, then finish your trip on Saturday
* Rock shoes - the rocks can be sharp and if you have some rock shoes, they may be a handy addition to your luggage (if you plan on a little exploring),
* Luggage - most people tend to over pack for a sailing holiday. You generally can pack on the light side, just remember your swimmers, something for the evening at dinner and a warm jacket. Soft bags are preferred on the boat as they're easier to stow away and cause less damage,
* Beach towel - We will provide ben linen and a towel, however if you’d like a beach towel it may pay to bring your own,
* Power adapter - it’s always good to bring a power adapter for any electrical items, including USB cords. The boat has 2 prong European power points, personal power banks are also a great idea to bring with you,
* Medication - if you need medication, remember to bring it with you, including seasickness tablets if you get motion sickness. It’s better to be safe than seasick!
* Music - pack your favourite music on your iPod or MP3 player and remember to pack your aux cable,
* Money - bring cash for dinners in town, as the island may not have an ATM or accept cards
* Shoes - any shoes with dark or marking soles and heels are not permitted on board. It would be wise to bring flip-flops or similar for the hot weather,
* Personal - Remember your personal toiletries, including shampoo and to pack your swimmers!
Other items guests like to bring can also include:
* Underwater camera or GoPro for creating a video of your holiday
