Navana is the last accessible village by boat before heading into the nature in the direction of [[Antalaha]]. Starting in [[Maroantsetra]], it is also possible to reach Navana by foot or even bicycle. After a 90-minute pleasant pirogue ride along small streams and canals one arrives in [[Andranofotsy]]. From thereon a good foot path named <i>Route National 5</i> follows the coastline of the bay with nice views onto [[Nosy Mangabe]]. Thereafter the path diverts into the native forest, passing the [[Farankaraina Tropical Park]], home of the rare Aye-eye lemur. The walk from Andranofotsy to Navana takes about 2 hours and 15 minutes.
