Aldabra Nature & Diving Expeditions

The southernmost region of the Seychelles is known as the Outer Islands, a remote area ca. 1000 km from Mahé. There is limited or no access other than by boat, thus it is rarely visited. The small coralline islands and atolls found there are low-lying and surrounded by reefs with an amazing wealth of flora and fauna, including rare species, both above and below the water. They are home to vast colonies of 4 Booby species, Great Frigates and Sooty Terns along with sharks, manta and reef rays, giant barracuda, grouper, Green & Hawksbill turtles, dugongs and flamingos. The largest land mass is the Aldabra Atoll, a UNESCO Marine World Heritage Site since 1982. With a protected area of 2’559 square kilometers, it offers once-in-a lifetime nature and diving experiences that few are privileged to enjoy.

Cruises of 10 and 15 days for 4 to 6 guests are on offer in collaboration with our local agent Silhouette Cruises Ltd. Select your next trip or be in touch for details.
