    Antananarivo to Diego Suarez

    You'll catch a domestic flight to Diego Suarez in the morning. After landing, head out on a boat tour to see three bays in the area. The route takes you through dune bay, pigeon bay, and Sakalava bay, each with white sand and turquoise water. You're back in town by evening.
