A popular excursion is the trip to the island's highest point, Mont Passot.
The road there is rather bad but most hotels can help you find a suitable vehicle and driver.

En route there are good views of a series of deep-blue crater lakes, which are said to contain crocodiles, as well as being the home of the spirits of the Sakalawa and Antakarana Princes.

Supposedly it is fady to fish there, or to smoke, wear trousers or any garment put on over the feet or a hat, while on the lake's shores.

That said, it may be that the tourists have frightened the spirits away, since my local operator has never heard of these prohibitions.

It is, in any case, difficult to get down to the water since the crater sides are very steep.
