Masoala National Park, Madagascar, offers an immersive rainforest and marine experience, best accessed by internal flights to Maroantsetra followed by boat transfers; it is not wheelchair accessible. Due to its remote nature and dense environment, guided visits are highly recommended, if not mandatory for certain areas, ensuring safety, navigation, and wildlife spotting. The ideal time to visit is during the dry season from April/May to November/December, avoiding the cyclone season (January-March), with whale watching peaking from July to September. A visit typically requires 3-5 days to fully explore its diverse ecosystems and marine park, and can be quite costly due to flights, boat transfers, park fees, and accommodation, potentially ranging from several hundred to over a thousand USD depending on duration and luxury. Visitors should expect rustic accommodation, prepare for hot and humid conditions with potential rain, and pack essential gear like insect repellent.
