 The bike ride begins with a canoe crossing over a creek close to Sambava Centre and thereafter an about 10km stretch through [[Soavoanio|coconut plantation]]. The price for the canoe crossing including a bike is between 1,000 Ar and 2,000 Ar. Most of the route thereafter runs along a sandy but bikeable road often in the shade of coconut palms, first passing the tiny village of [[Ampisasanala]] and thereafter [[Antongompahitra]].  About 3km after, cross [[Bemarivo]]with a pirogue. (The price for a boat including a bike is 2000 Ar.)

About 1km after the river crossing, pass through the village of [[Bemanevika]]. Every Sunday there's a large market in the mornings, which is especially active during the vanilla growing season from between March until beginning of and August. Thereafter a flat sandy road and sometimes trail continues to Lake Ampasimbato, in which there reportedly are many crocodiles.
