Only accessible by boat or on foot, Tampolo’s world is a world apart. Wild nature lovers will find there what they are interested in the whale songs to the cries of Varecia and the melody of waves over the sand to the most incredible concerts species of frogs.
Surrounded by the Masoala National Park representing more than 250 000ha of protected primary forest, a wealthful but still unknown park, it combines extraordinary animal species and plants among the strangest and the most important rate of endemism. One river succeeds to an other one from the heart of Masoala, bringing a mixture of life absolutely unique.

But the marine park is not to be left and funds are also very rich in biodiversity, different species of turtles, clams, shellfish and myriad of colorful reef fish, dolphins frolic in the bay and of course the ritual passage of whales from July to October, when they decide to go back to warmer waters and give birth. Amazing ballet to see these giants of the seas blown completely out of the water, play, stroll to the currents in the sound of their powerful winds.
