01 — Ground Transfers
Cruise Terminal to
Nosy Be Airport (NOS)
We provide comfortable coaster-type coach transfers for large groups of any size — including groups of 100 passengers and above. Every bus is assigned a dedicated guide and driver in branded polo shirts, so your guests always have a friendly, identifiable point of contact from the moment they board.
🚌
Coaster-Type Coaches
Appropriately sized buses for your group, each with one or two guides per vehicle depending on group size.
💧
Water Included
Complimentary water provided for all passengers on every transfer as standard.
🗣️

All guides provide full English commentary, briefings, and assistance throughout the journey.
📋
Expectation Management
Guests are briefed on local airport conditions in advance so nothing comes as a surprise on arrival.
A Practical Tip for Guests
March in Nosy Be is hot, and the airport offers limited shade before check-in opens. We advise groups to remind guests to bring sunscreen and a hat. Our staff ensure everyone is comfortable and informed while they wait.
02 — Airport Meet & Assist
On-the-Ground Support
at Check-In
4–5
Dedicated Nosy Be Tours staff in branded uniforms stationed at the airport with signage and a visible information point for your group.
For large groups, we deploy a dedicated team to the airport. We set up a clearly visible sign and a small information station just outside the check-in area — a reliable rally point for your passengers and your coordination team on the ground.
What our staff do: We act as the bridge between your group and airport personnel — fielding passenger questions, keeping everyone informed of queue status and timelines, and liaising with flight operations staff on your behalf. We stay in active communication with your team throughout the entire check-in process.
Nosy Be Airport (NOS) operates differently to most international terminals. Check-in takes place in an open-air area and the building is not accessible before check-in formally opens — this is standard airport authority procedure here. Our staff set expectations clearly in advance, and in practice the flow through security, immigration, and boarding is straightforward once check-in begins.
A Practical Note
Occasionally the airport experiences connectivity or systems delays — internet can be intermittent. We cannot speed up airport computers, but we will always keep your team and your guests fully informed of what's happening on the ground in real time. Everyone boards. Everyone flies. We make sure of it.
03 — Pricing
Consistent,
Transparent Rates
Our transfer and airport service rates are quoted per passenger and remain consistent year on year for returning clients. We believe in long-term partnerships built on reliability and fair, predictable pricing — not surprise charges.
Please contact us directly for a tailored quote based on your group size, flight schedule, and any additional services required.
