Itinerary
Mahé, being the largest of the Seychelles islands, beckons with Creole restaurants, craft shops and art galleries. The nearby waters surrounding Mahé are perfect for swimming, body surfing and snorkeling.
Astove Island is an atoll that is part of the Aldabra Group of the Seychelles. It is a raised coral island enclosed by a shallow lagoon. Astove is Portuguese for As Doze Ilhas which means 'The Twelve Islands.' It was founded in 1878 however there were no residents on the island. In 1901, five workers were left on Astove and for almost a decade small farms of pumpkins, watermelons, maize, and tobacco were cultivated. Bat droppings or 'guano' were discovered and extracted. After this discovery was made in 1960, more than 72,000 tons of guano were extracted preserving at least 5,000 tons.
The island is usually visited by scientists, fishermen, and diving enthusiasts but visitors are more than welcome to explore the lagoon, snorkel the coral reefs, and hike through the trails of the coconut palms that unveils an amazing view of paradise.
Located north of Madagascar, Aldabra has been described as "one of the wonder of the world"; because it is one of the world's largest atolls. An atoll is a ring shaped reef, and Aldabra is lined by raised reef limestone approximately 2km wide and 8m above sea level. Located in the middle of the island is a scenic shallow lagoon filled with wild sea life.
Desroches is the largest of the Amirantes archipelago of Seychelles. Its huge lagoon provides excellent diving conditions and is known for the Desroches Drop, a favorite among experienced divers. The island is one of the most economically developed of the Amirantes having both timber and coconut plantations. Visitors to the island also experience the richness of the flora and fauna surrounding this spectacular island.
