'''The bike ride from Sambava to Ofaina (pronounced ''Foeny'') begins along the RN5a in the direction of [[Antalaha]]. After 24km, at Farahalana, turn right onto a secondary road along the Meava river. Ofaina is one of several small villages along the river and in all 39 kilometres from [[Sambava]].'''

The route along the river is a bit bumpy here and there and is best done biked during the dry season since at times of much rainfall the road will be very muddy in places. Ofaina is often pronounced or named ''Foeny'' which means ''sticky mud'' and for good reason as the road can be very difficult to pass by car. Many people prefer to travel here by the motorised longboat shuttles that services passengers and farmers with their their crop to and from the area.
