  • This little offshore island is home to several endangered species, it is a breeding site for seabirds and turtles. A special reserve for Birdlife Seychelles.
    We got to meet George, the 150 year old turtle that likes his neck stroked.
    We were also lucky enough to see a Hawksbill turtle coming ashore to lay her eggs.

  • Ever since the leper colony was closed, the island has become a breeding center for the giant Seychelle tortoises.Visitors can walk around the pens that house the young tortoises, that rang from tiny hatchlings to five year old giants..

  • Aride is a special nature reserve.
    It has a large amount of seabirds, colonies of lesser noddy, roseate terns, and frigatebirds.
    We also saw white tailed baby Tropicbirds.
    It is a great place to spend the day.
    Tour the island, have lunch, and then go for a swim. before returning to Praslin.

  • A primeval rainforest, one of the best reasons to see Praslin.
    The Valle de Mai is steamy, exotic, and full of atmosphere.
    Giant specimens of our everyday houseplants, a posssible glimps of the rare black parrot that lives here, and a place to observe the Coco de Mer trees.
    Could this be the Garden of Eden?
    Catkin of the unique male coco de mer has inspired many legends and the theory that it was.

  • The most popular beach on Mahe. A great place for watersports.
    The clear warm water at Beau Vallon make swimming a real pleasue. It is safe for children, no big waves, no strong currents, and soft sand underfoot.

     all the small tours to different, unique islands and a rain forest was most wonderful. Excellent hotel and transportation tips. What a grand tour you have given of the Seychelles. Love the flying monkeys. I love your emphasis on nature.

     Looks like a great place to visit when N America is in the deep freeze. One has to slow down for the relaxing life style. Ahh Pleasure. Thanks for visiting my H.P.
