Daily life is determined by agricultural cycles, such as the plantation, gathering, processing and trade of vanilla and other spices.

There is a domestic airport with daily flights 8km from town. The RN5 national road links to the south but is often impassable. The town has a seaport which makes travel to and from [[Tamatave]] possible by so-called "boutres". (wooden boats).

== How to get from Tana 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 not recommended way to reach Maroantsetra is by private car or [[taxi-brousse]]. Although the RN2 from Antananarivo to Toamasina is in very good condition, 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.
