A spindle weather vane, with an exceptional length of 2.50 meters represents a bottlenose dolphin. Its rostrum smells the wind, its fin splits the air and makes the mammal stir according to the winds while culminating at 6 meters in height. It dominates the four cardinal points overlooking the sea.
It is perhaps the only dolphin in the world who knows how to tell the time during the day! While flying in the azure sky!
Indeed, a sundial of nearly 3 meters is arranged under the famous cetacean which includes sign language. The shadow arrow originates in a large shell "horned helmet" of 35 cm.

A beautiful solar cavity at the end of the gnomon surrounds the Roman numerals built in stone from the Nosy Be quarry for each hour of the day. The dial also allows the adjustment of quarter-hours. A feat because the shadow of the cardinal point of the north is also reflected on the range of time lines.
Tourists can thus live in solar time on the beaches surrounding the beautiful swimming pool of the Big Blue, in a nature still preserved with the "melodious silence" of a "Freedom fastlove". Under the dial, one of the current means of locomotion of Madagascar has been installed: a real tuk-tuk. On the opposite side, under the dial, the motorized tricycle illuminates the beach at cocktail time in the early evening.

On the battery side, it's another new story... that the Big Blue will not fail to tell soon! As well as his favorite number: 46.
Thus the astonished eyes of customers revel in this beautiful technical feat and this work of art UNIQUE IN THE WORLD: "a sundial weather vane dolphin tuk-tuk". One of the most amazing constructions in the Indian Ocean, imagined and realized by the famous artist Antoine de Tananarive. This building is to be discovered in an island hotel full of charm, with a breathtaking view of one of the most beautiful bays of the Ocean, located on the peninsula of Andilana, in Nosy Be.
