Which side of the plane to sit from Toamasina Airport (Toamasina) to Maroantsetra Airport (Maroantsetra)?

The Right Side offers a spectacular perspective of the Indian Ocean coastline and the entrance into the magnificent Bay of Antongil, one of Madagascar's most beautiful natural features.

Indian Ocean Coastline
Striking views of white sand beaches and turquoise waters crashing against the eastern shores.
Nosy Boraha (Sainte-Marie)
On clear days, the long, thin silhouette of Sainte-Marie Island can be seen shimmering on the horizon to the east.
Bay of Antongil
The plane flies directly over or alongside this deep bay, which is a critical calving ground for humpback whales.
Nosy Mangabe
A small, densely forested island jewel visible just before the final approach into Maroantsetra.
The Right Side is essential for whale watching from the air during the breeding season (July to September). For the clearest views of the coral reefs and the turquoise waters of the bay, choose a flight departing before 11:00 AM to avoid the tropical afternoon cloud buildup.

Canal des Pangalanes
A massive network of lagoons and waterways running parallel to the coast just north of Toamasina.
Eastern Escarpment
The rugged, mist-covered mountain ranges that separate the central highlands from the humid coast.
Masoala Rainforest
Vast expanses of primary tropical rainforest, part of a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its biodiversity.
Sit on the left if you are interested in the dense forest canopy and the geographical transition from the coast to the highlands. The early morning light highlights the mist rising from the valleys.
