The bike ride from Sambava to Ofaina starts along the main road in the direction of Antalaha. At Farahalana, after a bit over 20 kilometres, turn right onto a secondary road along the Meava river. Ofaina is one of several small villages along the river and in all 39 km from Sambava.

Villages before Ofaina along the river are Masovariaka, Ambodimanga, Ampatakana and Ambodiala. Marojejy can be seen to the west from the elevated parts of the route and the Indian Ocean towards the east. There is a good swimming stop between Masovariaka and Farahalana.

The route along the river is a bit bumpy in some places and is best done in the dry season.
