Nosy Boraha, formerly known as Île Sainte-Marie, is an island located off the east coast of Madagascar. Nosy Boraha also belongs to Madagascar. Ambodifotatra is the island's largest and only so called "real" city. Nosy Boraha has a population of around 20,000 inhabitants.

Whale Watching

The canal that runs between Nosy Boraha and Madagascar is a great place for whale watching. Many groups of humpback whales from Antarctica come to their regular nesting place. There is a large amount of humpback whales just there for whales may find discards which is favorable for the growth of their kids and are well suited to their courtship and acrobatic games before their big return toward the cold seas. And although it is much small number, so if you are lucky, you may see the Southern Right Whale, a sort whalebone whale, that is really rare.

Own Thoughts

I would like to go to Nosy Boraha, but I could never imagine living there. Because I do not think I would like it to stay in such a small place, and there is very limited because you have to take a boat quite a long distance to get into Madagascar. I could live in a small place, but it is not as Sunderbyn.

For the Sunderbyn then you have still reasonably close to major places. While Nosy Boraha may have a 3-4 hours trip to get into a major city. But if I went there, I would like to go to Ambodifotara for which it is the largest city and it feels like it would happen most things there and I would like to go there in the fall for that is when you have a chance to see Whales. It would take a very long time to go to Nosy Boraha, even by air, which is the most common way to go there.

My Own Opinion

I think its beautiful place. I mean, who wouldn’t think that? It’s very small maybe, but it has a small charm about it. It is a lot like Madagascar. The animals and plants are for the most the same. The people are very natural, they grow their own food, but of course they have supermarkets. They are so different from how we are here in Sweden. I don’t even know if they know what ice hockey is. But a popular sport on the island is sailing and the children do often play football.

So I would like to go there. But I think that I most could be there for two weeks. Because it is so small, and I easily become bored.
