The lodge has eleven bungalows, divided into four family bungalows and seven twin bungalows, and a restaurant. All bungalows are built in style of Malagasy huts using local materials that blend harmonically into the nature. The lodge faces the usually calm waters of Antongil Bay and is surrounded by a garden of [[Madagascar Cinnamon|cinnamon ]] trees, clove shrubs, vanilla orchids and majestic [[mango]] and [[lychee]] trees.
Additionally, a house with two bedrooms and a large veranda is available to guests on a self-catering basis of minimum four nights. The building is a short walk from the beach.
A visit to [[Nosy Mangabe]] provides an opportunity to observe the Aye-aye. Nosy Mangabe is an island full of history, with tombs and ancient writings engraved on rocks by pirates. It is possible to stay a few hours or even a few days on the island. For overnight camping, guests need to bring their own tent. Everything else, including a matress for camping, a sleeping bag, food and guide can be organised by Tampolodge.
In the opposite direction, a combined boat and trekking adventure to [[Cap Masoala]] can be arranged. The boat ride to Cap Masoala takes about two hours and the trek back along the coast, beaches and through villages takes two to three days. The villages along the route are [[Fampotabe]], [[Namantoana]], [[Ratranavona]], [[Antalavia]], [[Marofototra]]. While a guide and food will be provided, guests need to bring their own tents. Alternatively, basic accommodation can be arranged in the villages.

[[Air Madagascar]] operates domestic flights from [[Antananarivo]] to Maroantsetra. One of the Tampolodge staff members will welcome you at the airport and transfer you to the port. From there it is an about 2-hour boat ride to the beach of Tampolodge.
