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

If you explore the islands - either by bus, walking, driving a car or with a bike - you'll find places where you get the impression, you are the only one on this island. Especially on Mahe we found so many nice beaches which "belonged" totally to us! Great! And the nature of Seychelles is indiscibable anyway! Go and breathe it into your body and try to keep it within your heart! Leave a Comment

 Sunbird by iwys
You will see Cattle Egrets so tame that they are standing on the fiish stalls in the main market of Victoria and ground doves that will jump onto your restaurant table. As you sail between the islands you will see huge flocks of graceful, Fairy Terns and Sooty Terns, as well as the occasional White-tailed Tropicbird.
On land you can see endemic species only found in the Seychelles, such as the Seychelles Bulbul and Seychelles Sunbird.
So, make sure you pack a pair of binoculars and enjoy the wonderful birds of the Seychelles. Oh, and yes, I did use a zoom lens to take this picture. The birds are not that tame!

 Bats by kyoub
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 Leave a Comment Phone: 371313

 George by kyoub
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. Leave a Comment

 Fish by kyoub
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. Leave a Comment

 View from the top by Saagar
From the populated western side of La Digue, near the top end of the bird preserve (road goes up slightly north of there) you proceed up the hillside called Belle Vue dotted with family houses along the paved road. The road curves to the left in its upper part, and comes to a shrine. Here the road splits and you can choose either, as the roads, soon becoming trails meet higher up, but say, take the paved road right. At the end of the road is a family house. Continue straight up past a shed and you will see the trail commencing, curving left, and then shortly to the right and up. Continue along this trail (it doesn't branch) for about 15-20 minutes uphill, and you should find yourself on the top ridge, a saddle, the spine of La Digue. Go to the left and look around from a beautiful clearing with interesting vegetation and views of Felicite and Marianne Islands. Turn around and proceed south on the saddle, and you will soon find yourself at the highest spot, with a peak marker. Here you have a wide view of the west coast of La Digue and the La Passe, Praslin, Mahe and islands south of La Digue. The jungle obscures the view of Anse Coco, Petit Anse and Grand Anse. From the ridge, trails branch off toward the north, east and south-west of the island. If you left your bike at Belle Vue, it's probably best to return down via the saddle where you came from. Without a bike, a traverse of the island would be a good idea. Leave a Comment Other Contact: Tourist office, La Passe

 Flycatcher by kyoub
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. Leave a Comment

 Circling La Digue by Saagar
The walks are hot, so bring water. A delightful way of spending a day out as an alternative to the beach. Leave a Comment
