ACTIVITIES

The adventure begins at the edge of the lagoon

The Salary Lagoon: one of the last preserved wild spaces of Madagascar. Each day here is an invitation to explore a territory and a unique culture.

Whale watching

Outings ensured by Madagascar Diving of Frédéric Lucas from Salary Bay, on reservation and according to weather conditions.

Each year, humpback whales follow the coast of Salary during their great annual migration. A rare opportunity to attend majestic shows (jumps, fin movements, newborns as well as other marine mammals such as dolphins, pilot whales, and sometimes even orcas).
