FULL DESCRIPTION
Embark on an unforgettable half-day boat trip to the pristine paradise of Aride Island, located just 10 kilometers north of Praslin Island. Known as the "seabird fortress of the Indian Ocean," Aride Island is a hidden gem in the Inner Seychelles, offering a truly unique experience for nature lovers and bird enthusiasts alike. This untouched island is a dedicated bird sanctuary, home to over 1 million seabirds, including stunning colonies of terns and frigatebirds, as well as the world’s largest colony of slender-billed noddies—a sight that will leave you in awe.
But the island's beauty goes beyond its vast bird populations. Aride Island is also a sanctuary for rare and native species, including the Seychelles Reed Warbler, one of the rarest birds in the world. The island's ecosystems are equally fascinating, with a dense population of colorful lizards and an abundance of unique flora found nowhere else on Earth. As you explore, you’ll have the chance to witness these extraordinary creatures in their natural habitats, making for an enriching and immersive adventure in the heart of nature.
