Take about 1-1.5 hours. You will see lots of ring tailed lemurs (>20-30). Easy hike with some steep sections over rocks and boulders. Friendly and helpful guides. Beautiful at sunset.

Went here from Ranomafana so my partner could see the ringtails, about 4hr drive from there. Was much better than I expected, along with the chance to see many ringtails up close yoy also get a guided walk up through the caves and boulders up onto some big rock slabs which serve as great lookout points. You get a scenic hike combined with a lemur experience. What a great way to spend the day. Point of note, once yoy state hiking the rock formations you don't see many lemurs so get all your pictures of them before you start the climb. Do wear sensible footwear as the the hike through the rocks can be steep at times. We went on a weekday and it was lovely and quiet with only a handful of other tourists there at the time. Highly recommend visiting.

lemurs sighting pretty much guaranteed. the ones I saw were also very active and playful (although they did not approach humans). the community very much needs the income so the visit is not only fun for the visitor, but also puts bread on the table for some of the locals. adding the prices as of April 2024

Fabulous reserve well managed by the community. 4 different loops are offered at reasonable price. Both guide and tracker were friendly and very knowledgeable. They take their time and make sure you see the most of it. No need to be fit, easy paths.

A true hidden gem! We didn't plan on visiting the reserve, based on its description it sounded more like a zoo. We were wrong! This is a beautiful reserve and they do an amazing job at conservation. The local guides are amazing, do not hire somebody from outside. These people went from hunters to wildlife guides and understood the importance of protecting the ring-tailed lemurs. Beautiful success story. In the end we barely saw the ring tailed lemurs anywhere else in Madagascar, this was the best place to see them by far. Do not hesitate!
