There are 3 small islands over there. in each island, there are different species of lemurs.

In the first island, you can see 3 species of lemurs :the variegata variegata or the black and white lemur, the bamboo lemur and the common brown lemur, in the second island, there are 2 species of lemurs: the dancing lemur or Sifaka and the lemur macaco macaco

In the third island: there is only one species of lemur, this is the famous ring-tailed lemur or  lemur kata.

The visit in these 3 different small islands lasts roughly from 1 to 1h30mn and to get to each island, you ride on board a canoe.

Only in the first island, you can walk inside of it but the 2 others islands you are not allowed to walk in and you just watch the lemurs from the canoe. The lemurs show up at the side of the islands and you will watch each other.

The visit at this park ends around 5:00pm and now, it is time to go to your Hotel. You leave from lemurs island and drive to your Hotel. You will get to your Hotel around 5;30pm. Check-in

Upon your arrival at your Hotel, a local guide will welcome you and he will brief about the plan for the night walk.
