The park offers tents on the beach with breakfast, lunch and dinner prepared in a kitchen-hut and served below a straw-thatched roof with a large communal table shared between all guests. The tents are simple but with convenient mattresses. One of the cooks from the popular [[Mimi Hotel|MIMI Resto]] in [[Sambava]] resides at the camp while guests are visiting. A small campfire can be arranged on the beach in the evenings.

Although any visit can be tailor-made, different packages between one and four nights are offered, including transport from Sambava or Vohemar.

An example itinerary of a three days and two nights package starts at 7am with breakfast at [[Mimi Hotel|Resto Mimi]] from where the car will drive to [[Analovana]] and from there turn towards the coast for another 17 kilometres. Shortly after Analovana, cross the river and continue through the villages of [[Madirobe]], [[Maromokotra]], [[Ambondrombe]] and [[Bobangira]] until Bobangira Park. The total distance is 118km which will take about 4 four hours by 4x4 car.

However, during the rainy season between December January and March, the river shortly after [[Analovana]] can only be crossed by pirogue and a combination of trekking and zebu-cart is the best way to continue from there. Start the trek at around 9.30am. After two hours hop on the zebu cart. Picnic lunch at around noon. Continue by zebu-cart to arrive at the camp around 2pm.
