At 329 metres, Mont Passot is the highest point on Nosy Be and the classic spot for sunset. The road to the top is paved and any taxi driver knows it. From the viewing platform you look down on a string of volcanic crater lakes that ring the summit, and out across the channel to the smaller islands.
Get there 45 minutes before sundown to claim a good spot. Vendors set up beside the road with cold beers and snacks; on a clear evening the colours over the lakes are remarkable.
