There are two ways to reach the park, either via [[Maroantsetra]] or via [[Antalaha]]. The easiest and fastest mode of transport is by plane. [[Air Madagascar]] operates scheduled flights to Maroantsetra or Antalaha.
A car ride from [[Tamatave]] to Maroantsetra along the RN5 takes about two days (400km) along a very bad road, which is often closed due to cyclones from December to March. From Antalaha it is a 45km stretch to the park [[Andranoanala]] (Cap-Est). During the dry season it takes about 4 hours by car4x4, whilst in the rainy season some bridges may be impassable and the use of pirogues may be necessary to cross the river.
Depending on the season, cargo boats leave 3 to 6 times a week from Tamatave to Maroantsetra. The sea journey takes between one and two days.
