Arrival by airplane
Please book your flight to arrive at Ivato International Airport (TNR) and book a domestic flight to Toliara Airport (TLE).
Once you arrive in Antananarivo, you need to get an internal flight to Tulear, spend the night in Tulear, take a 1.5 to 2 hour boat ride in the morning to Anakao and Madagascar Surf Resort will pick you up in Anakao. Another 1-hour boat ride or 1-hour 4x4 ride will take you to the camp depending on the weather.
When booking your flights, if possible try to arrive early in the day in Antananarivo so that you can get your connecting flight out of Antananarivo down to Tulear the same day you arrive. If this option is not possible, Madagascar Surf Resort would suggest staying the night at Le Chat’O Park Hotel, a short ride away from the airport in Antananarivo where transfers to and from the airport will be arranged. Each night costs from 35 EUR (145,000 MGA) to 50 EUR (207,500 MGA).
Once in Tulear, you will have to stay the night to get the Anakao express in the morning. There are two options:
Staying out of town and in more luxury at the Auberge de la table from 45 EUR (185,000 MGA) to 69 EUR (283,000 MGA) per night.
The Manatane Hotel in Tulear, which is right on the main road where you can experience the wild Tulear nightlife or explore the city from 7 EUR (30,000 MGA) to 12 EUR (50,000 MGA) per night.
Taxi transfers will be arranged and waiting for you at the airport to take you to the hotel and to the jetty in the morning. The Anakao express (the boat transfer to Anakao) leaves every morning at 7:30 a.m. but be sure to be there before 7 a.m. to avoid any delays en-route. All travel arrangements can be organized and pre-booked for you and your travel party but will be at your own cost.
Once you have arrived in Anakao you will get off the boat in front of chez Amil where either the Madagascar Surf Lodge boat or 4x4 will be waiting for you to bring you to the camp (included in your package).
