But first, what is a "Tuk-tuk"?
It's a local common transportation mean, an auto rickshaw, a motorized version of the pulled rickshaw or cycle rickshaw.
Located in the southeastern coast of Madagascar, Fort-Dauphin is the ideal destination for all categories of travelers. Whether you are a trekking enthusiast, a fan of extreme sports such as surfing/windsurfing or quad/motocross biking, a lover of pirate stories, a lover of endemic biodiversity, curious about the way of life/cultures/rituals of Malagasy people, or just want to relax on uncrowded beaches with clear water and white sand.
Indeed, this city and its surroundings offer some impressive corners, and nothing better than a Tuk-tuk to get you deep into it and have a "small glimpse" of the beauty of this former colonial Fort.
