Nosy Ve is a sacred location to the [[Vezo]] people, where each year locals sacrifice [[zebu]] according to traditional rituals. The island is home to the world's most southernmost all-year breeding colony of red-tailed tropic-birds, which attracts ornithologists from all around the world.

There is no accommodation on Nosy Ve and camping is not permitted on the island. Day visits can be arranged in [[Anakao]]. The best transport is by Vezo fisherman pirogue. Just ask anyone in the village. A tax of 2,000 Ariary serves as entrance fee to the island. A stroll around its shoreline including a long white sand beach takes about one hour.
