→How to get from Antananarivo to Maroantsetra
The easiest and surely qickest way to reach Maroantsetra is by plane. There is a domestic airport 8km from town. As Air Madagascar approaches Maroantsetra only ... times a week using a small plane, free seats are often sold out. Spontaneous travellers might have a problem obtaining a ticket.
Another option but surely not ideal for everyone is to go by private car or [[taxi-brousse]]. Although the RN2 from Antananarivo to [[Toamasina]] is in very good condition, the the northern part of the RN5 running along the east coast is often impassable. A usually 2 days car journey can easily change into a 3-4 days adventure throughout the rainy season.
The third option is a combination of taxi-brousse and boat transfer. There are numerous taxi-brousses leaving Tana direction Toamasina in the early morning hours. For those who don't want to wait until the taxi-brousse is finally filled up with enough passengers or simply want to have a seat for themselves should go by [[Cossite Transport]]. The ticket is slightly more expensive (24,000 Ariary in 2015), but the buses leave on time and have free Wifi. The Tana-Toamasina stretch takes between 6 and 8 hours. In Toamasina one has to quickly show up at the office of [[Melissa Express]] to buy one of the rate tickets for their boat service...
