Kayaking along the mangrove river near Ambatomikopaka offers a tranquil escape into Madagascar’s Masoala Peninsula, home to lush rainforests and diverse wildlife. The peninsula, Madagascar’s largest national park at nearly 595,000 acres, is a haven for biodiversity, with up to two percent of the world’s plant and animal species. Its remote wilderness, devoid of roads and human settlements, remains largely untouched. The area also hosts humpback whales during the summer, where they teach their young to breach before migrating to the Antarctic. The park’s isolation and natural beauty make it a rare, untouched gem.
