A well-planned expedition with solid infrastructure is key to success. A heartfelt thank you to our sponsors for their trust and support!

Air Madagascar for sponsoring our flights and the transport of our sea kayaks.

Prijon for providing us with two Kodiak sea kayaks, stream paddles, and deck bags.

Exped for supplying us with outdoor equipment.

Artistic Sportswear for outfitting us with sea kayaking clothing.

This expedition would not have been possible without the special authorization from ANGAP to paddle around the Masoala Peninsula. Many thanks to the following ANGAP staff: Mr. Parfait Randriamampianina, Seraphin, Jean-Émilien, Nestor, and Émilien from the Tanjona Marine Reserve, as well as Jube, Roland, Paulin, and Felix.

We also want to express our gratitude to:

Sandra and Pierre from the Masoala Forest Lodge for their incredible hospitality and friendship. The Masoala Forest Lodge in Tampolo is the perfect base for exploring the Tampolo Marine Reserve and the primary forest of Masoala.

Rakoto from Coco Beach in Maroantsetra, who is the go-to person for organizing your stay and providing assistance in every situation.

Liliane, who has been like a mother to us and our anchor in Tana.

Françoise and Didier from Eastern Tour for their invaluable help on numerous occasions.

Marie-Hélène from Vinanivao.

Edmond from Las Palmas in Antalaha.

Mr. Badady Roland, Senator of Antalaha.

And last but not least, to all the wonderful Malagasy and "vazaha" people we encountered during our journey!
