What To Expect
Hell-Ville
Visit the Local Markets of Hell-Ville! The markets of Hell-Ville, Nosy Be offer an authentic immersion in Malagasy culture, among bright colors, exotic scents and animated bargaining. This is the place where the local people get their supplies! The Indoor Market (Tsena Mora) is a riot of fresh produce, spices and local crafts, while the Outdoor Market (Tsena Ambony) enchants with traditional clothes, fabrics and objects. Bargaining is a must, cash is needed (euro or ariary, the local currency) and respect for local culture is paramount. The market tour is an unforgettable experience to discover the soul of Nosy Be.
Holy Tree by Nosy Be. The sacred tree of Nosy Be, located in the heart of the island, is a place rich in history and cultural significance. It is an imposing banyan tree whose aerial roots form an intricate structure reminiscent of a cathedral. Its history is linked to local traditions and animist beliefs. During the visit, you can admire its impressive size and discover the stories and legends related to this sacred place. The sacred tree of Nosy Be was planted by the queen of the Sakalava tribe in 1836. Even today, the queen of Nosy Be makes a pilgrimage every year to sacrifice a zebu and receive the blessing of the ancestors. Before approaching the tree, you must take off your shoes and, if you have bare legs, you must wear a pareo.

5.00The tour was very well accompanied and we always had enough time to see everything in peace. Unlike the tours organized by the shipping company, we were even allowed to feed the lemurs. We can highly recommend the tour!
