    • The only way to get her is by boat.
    It is a laid back place with friendly people and beautiful beaches.
    Take your time looking around the Veuve Nature Reserve and see if you can find the Seychelles Black Paradise Flycatcher.

    • This is a beautiful sheltered bay with nice beaches and very good for snorkeling.
    You can walk here if you stay nearby in Port Glaud, like we did.

    • Snorkeling trips can be arrange on Praslin, which will take you out to the islet of St Pierre.
    This is in the Curieus National Marine Park.
    We stopped here on our way out to Curieus
    Island. We snorkeled and fed the fish.
    The water was clear and there were a lot of pretty fish. The coral wasn't in great shape though.

    • Off the coast of Praslin about 2km is Cousin Island. It has been purchased by the Bird Life International, for bird preservation. It is a must see when you are in the Seychelles.
    It is amazing to see the birds nesting on the graound and on every branch. We saw many white-tailed tropic birds in all stages of life.
    The island is also home to two of the oldest giant tortoise.
    After the 1 1/2 hour tour of the island you will have a nice BBQ with freshly caught fish.

    • Located in the hills of Anne Royale, Mahe is Le Jardin du Roi. it is a sprawling garden with a lot of spice plants such as cardamon, cloves, nutmeg,vanilla, and cinnamon.
    There is also a small museum and a few birds. This pair of flying foxes is also taking a nap here.
    A small creperie serves sweet and savory crepes with homemade ice cream. YUM

    • Seychelles - Silhouette

    • Silhouette Island is the third largest granitic island of the Seychelles, situated 19 miles North West of Mahe(15 mn by helicopter).

    Silhouette's forest remains one of the least interfered with natural habitats in the region, and provides an ideal escape for nature lovers.

    The pictures shows the island in the background from mahe.

     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.    		26march Sun Mar 8, 2009 08:53 UTC

     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.    		starship Wed Jun 25, 2008 13:17 UTC
