How to get there:
Masoala is a peninsula at the northeast coast of the island. Whether you can get there by Taxi Brousse depends on the state of the road. You can't really know in advance whether it is possible or not. Furthermore, you have to cross 6 streams by ferry. So the safest way to get to Masoala is to go to Tomasina (Tamatave) or Nosy Boraha (Ile St. Marie) by Taxi Brousse and from there take a merchant ship to Maroantsetra or Anthala (just go to the port and ask). Choose a ship that is made of steel and not of wood and that is as big as possible. And be sure to bring along enough water and a good book, because the journey will take longer than they tell you anyway.

What you can do and see:
In Masoala you find the most preserved and untouched rain forest of Madagascar. There are no streets on the peninsula, so you will have to travel by foot. You can do one-day-trips or book one of three different trekking tours across Masoala. These tours differ heavily regarding price (we highly recommend to ask in advance about possible additional charges along the way, like boat trips, firewood, accomodations for night, etc.), but also in duration (3-6 days), difficulty and time you spend in the actual National Park. There, with some luck, you can see the red ruffed lemur, helmet vangas, masoala pitcher plants (only at Cap Est) as well as other species specific to this region. And if you take the short but expensive trip (minimum transfer fee: 100000 MFG) to the special reservation Nosy Be, the little island in front of Maroantsetra, you might even see an Aye-aye.
At some places diving is also possible. The coral reefs are said to be as beautiful as the nature ashore.

Housing:
No problems here. Maroantsetra and Anthala are pretty big cities with many restaurants, shops and plenty of Hotels of all categories. Along most trekking trails you will pass small villages where you can rent a simple room (not in the National ParK itself). Otherwise there is always space for camping if you have a tent.
