Overview

Intercity Transfer Between Diego Suarez and Vohémar

Travel between Diego Suarez and Vohémar, a scenic coastal town at the northern end of the SAVA region on the northeast coast of Madagascar. The route covers approximately 315 km via the RN6 south to Ambilobe, then east on the improved RN5a — a journey of about 8–10 hours by private car.

Vohémar is a natural stopover on the way to Sambava and the Vanilla Coast, and is notable for the Green Lake (Lac Vert), a volcanic lake situated just 7 km south of town. There are no direct scheduled flights from Diego Suarez to Vohémar; the road route via Ambilobe is the standard connection.

About

Road Transfer Between Diego Suarez and Vohémar via RN6 and RN5a

The route follows the RN6 south from Diego Suarez to Ambilobe (~120 km, 2–3 hrs), then heads east on the RN5a to Vohémar (~155 km from Ambilobe, 3–4 hrs). Total road distance is approximately 315 km. The RN5a between Ambilobe and Vohémar was paved/gravelled between 2020 and 2022, dramatically improving travel times on this previously very difficult track. A 4×4 is still recommended, particularly during the rainy season.

Vohémar’s domestic airport has historically received irregular flights from Antananarivo and Sambava; however, no regular scheduled services currently operate from Diego Suarez. The road via Ambilobe is the reliable overland connection. From Sambava to Vohémar, the road is only 153 km and has been passable for years, making Sambava an alternative starting point for flights if needed.

Vohémar is known for the Green Lake (Lac Vert / Andranotsara), a former village said to have been transformed into a lake according to local legend, and surrounded by coconut and cacao plantations. It is also a key junction for continuing south toward Sambava and Antalaha.

This transfer connects Diego Suarez with Vohémar, the northern gateway to Madagascar’s SAVA Vanilla Coast.

Honestly, it's a fantastic service they offer. I loved how smoothly our interactions went. They connected me with kind and helpful people, and everything was clear and well-organized. Thank you for your patience! Just a thought! Could you perhaps set up a system where we can donate to the people who helped us online? With a message to leave a review? Thank you very much!

Our experience with MadaAssist in Madagascar was fantastic. Two friends and I traveled together, and from the very first moment, we felt very safe, supported, and well taken care of throughout the entire trip. We especially want to highlight the kindness and friendliness of the entire team, who were always willing to help us and ensure our well-being. And, above all, we want to give a special mention to Antsa, one of our guides. He was an exceptional person to us: kind, polite, respectful, attentive, and always ready to help us with anything we needed. He treated us wonderfully and undoubtedly made our experience in Madagascar even more special. We have a beautiful memory of him and are very grateful for the treatment we received. Our only suggestion for improvement is that we believe it would be important to consider language when assigning guides. In our case, we don't speak French, and with some of the guides we had, it was difficult to communicate in English, which at times made it quite challenging to understand each other. For travelers who don't speak French, we believe it would be ideal to have guides with a good level of English. Otherwise, we highly recommend MadaAssist. We felt safe, well cared for, and very well accompanied, and we have wonderful memories of both Madagascar and the people we met during the trip.

Wonderful experience. Our driver waited for us outside the airport even though our flight was 3.5 hours late. He took us to our destination and even made sure we found the right hotel room. I recommend him!

I prebooked a taxi from an airport to city center. You start off by talking to a bot, but they quickly switch to a person who gives you a quotation in no time. Everything works smoothly. I'd recommend it and I will most likely use it again.
