Our tour with Joe was fantastic! He guided us safely and made everything easy for our group. We visited the Sacred Waterfall, which was a bit dirty due to heavy rain the night before, but Joe had already warned us about that. Despite that, the tour was enjoyable, and we ended the day at Mont Passot, where the sunset was absolutely beautiful. Everything was well organized, and Joe took care of every detail. I would definitely recommend JOE NB TOUR MADA to anyone visiting Nosy Be!

My husband and I, French passengers from a cruise ship, had originally booked the Nosy Be City Tour with Joe. Unfortunately, three days before the tour, my husband fell ill and we had to cancel. I contacted Joe directly via WhatsApp, and he was extremely understanding, professional, and responsive. We received a full refund quickly without any hassle. Even though we could not take the tour, I still wanted to leave a 5-star rating because this experience showed how trusted, reliable, and customer-focused JOE NB TOUR MADA is. If you want a safe and honest tour operator in Nosy Be, Joe is the one to book with!
