Enjoy a full day of multi-activities with mountain biking, canoeing, and a lakeside barbecue.
We meet in Ambohimanambola at the Batou Beach car park and after the briefing, we start the day with the bikes. We will head south-east to Masindray before going further south to follow the Ikopa river to the Antelomita hydroelectric dam. From there, we meet our team for a canoeing session: let yourself be carried away by the calm waters of the Ikopa River surrounded by lush vegetation and picturesque landscape. The canoe descent ends in Sisters Lake where we will have a barbecue lunch while admiring the sublime landscape. Return to town by bus in the afternoon.

Day 1: Mountain bike 15 km - Canoe 6 km - Barbecue - (MTB 10.9 km)
Meet at the Batou Beach car park and after the briefing, head south-east towards Masindray. Unlike the experienced mountain bike option, we will follow the long track towards the large wooden deck bridge which will allow us to cross the Ikopa. Then we will follow the left bank of the Ikopa river to the 2 hydroelectric dams of Antelomita.
From downstream of the hydroelectric dam we will begin the Canoe section. A few small rapids on the first half of the course then on the second part after passing the large wooden bridge will be more physical. You can appreciate the magnificent landscapes on the banks and sometimes rural life in the fields. It will then be a well-deserved break at the edge of a lake, accompanied by a barbecue and refreshments. After lunch, it's up to you to continue the last 11 km by mountain bike, with an ascending profile from the start and then descending (D+337m and D-347m) or choose the bus option to reach the car park.
