After a 90-minute pleasant pirogue ride along small streams and canals one arrives in [[Andranofotsy]]. From thereon a good foot path named <i>Route National 5</i> follows the coastline of the bay with nice views onto [[Nosy Mangabe]]. Thereafter the path diverts into the native forest, passing the [[Farankaraina Tropical Park]], home of the rare Aye-eye lemur. The walk from Andranofotsy to Navana takes about 2 hours and 15 minutes.
