Toamasina Shore Excursions – Gateway to Madagascar’s East Coast

Discover Toamasina on a private shore excursion with Bakadi Dreams – the personal way to explore the largest port city on Madagascar’s tropical east coast. Also known by its French name Tamatave, Toamasina is the second-largest city in Madagascar and the country’s most important natural harbour on the Indian Ocean.

The lively port city of Toamasina on the east coast of Madagascar

Toamasina has a colourful and turbulent history, having passed through Portuguese, French, British and Merina hands over the centuries. After being destroyed by a cyclone in 1927 the city was completely rebuilt, and today its palm-lined avenues, bustling markets and warm Malagasy hospitality make it a fascinating place to explore.

From here you can discover the rich culture of the city itself, cruise the historic Pangalana Canal or venture into the lush nature of the Ivoloina park to meet Madagascar’s famous lemurs.

Every Bakadi Dreams excursion runs in a small, private group with a friendly English-speaking guide, at a relaxed pace and with a guaranteed return to your cruise ship in good time.
