Morondava Port
Beste tid å besøke
In the morning between 6 and 9, the harbor is at its liveliest, as the catches arrive onshore and the auction begins. Dry season mornings are the most reliable, as the rainy period can make the roads to the harbor muddy.
Budsjettips
The harbor itself is free and open to the public. A small amount of cash is enough to buy freshly grilled fish, but bargain cheerfully, as the initial price asked from a tourist is inflated.
Anbefalt for
Photography enthusiasts, Travelers seeking local everyday life, Fans of fresh seafood

Om
Raske fakta: På én dag lander her opptil tjue håndutgravde trepiroger, hver laget av en eneste trestamme. Fiskemarkedet når land allerede klokken seks om morgenen, før solen gjør betongkaia varm.
Høydepunkter: Tidevannsforskjellen når her flere meter, så den samme stranden er ett øyeblikk full av vann og neste øyeblikk tørr gjørme. Det er verdt å se akkurat det øyeblikket når fiskerne skyver pirogene tilbake i vannet og garnene smeller mot vannoverflaten idet havet kommer brusende tilbake.
Insidertips
- Wear closed-toe shoes, as wood splinters and muddy edges hide in the cracks of the pier.
- The golden morning light shines best from the end of the piers, where the boats are lined up in a row.
- Avoid going during the lunch break, as the harbor is then empty and the auction is already over.
- Ask the fishermen about boat trips, as some take visitors out to see the sea for a fee.
