A visit to the northermost Madagascar should include a trip to the Emerald Sea. The ideal time is during the rainy season from November to March, when the water is clearer and warmer. Organised boat transfers leave from [[Ramena Beach]] (between 40,000 Ariary and 55,000 Ariary per person) <!-- or Dordogne--> or Port Jasmin in [[Diego Suarez]] (about 60,000 Ariary per person). Besides the transfer, organised tour operators usually also provide snorkelling equipment as well as lunch at a deserted island. Local fishermen at Ramena Beach are willing to take passengers to the Emerald Sea for a much lower price.
