1. Lokobe Nature Reserve
AntsirananaLots of lemurs bounce among the palms in the low hills of this southeastern Nosy Be park. Always look up—chameleons and boa constrictors hang out on the canopy, too. Seeing wildlife here is typical, but the plantlife, such as wild vanilla, is interesting too. The aromas are as refreshing as the sights are thrilling, but you'll get the best out of the experience if you book a guide. Many of the tours include a swim on Lokobe’s wild beach and a delicious meal after the hike.

2. Mitsio Archipelago
If Nosy Be is getting away from it all, this collection of small islands 72 km (45 miles) to the northeast is absolute escape. Here, you can discover white-sand beaches, lush tropical landscapes, and huge basalt columns resembling organ pipes. Each island has its own character, and only two are inhabited. La Grande Mitsio hosts small farming villages. Nosy Ankarea is known for scuba adventures. Quatre Frères’ mighty silver basalt rocks contain huge caves and overhangs that captivate birdwatchers. Nosy Tsarabanjina is the lap of luxury; the place to land on the private island is the helipad at tony Constance Lodge (www.tsarabanjina.com). Visiting the islands from Nosy Be is usually best done over a couple days. Some resorts arrange day trips, and private charters offer multi-day excursions. Mozambique Yacht Charters (www.mozambiqueyachtcharters.com) has been running boats to the islands for a decade. Ask the Nosy Be Regional Tourism Office about others.

3. Mont Passot
The highest peak on Nosy Be presents outstanding views of the coast and the island's emerald green lakes that are said to be sacred and home to crocodiles. You could walk the rough road to the top of the 329-meter (1,080-foot) mountain, but lots of people choose to drive or let a guide transport them to the summit. Smiling children and adults are usually in the area peddling jewelry, vanilla, and ylang-ylang perfume. Hotels can usually arrange tours, or you can find guide via the Nosy Be Regional Tourism Office.
