~ Full trip details to be announced shortly ~
Dense virgin rainforest, granite outcrops, spectacular islands with pure white sand beaches, secluded coves, pristine waters filled with schooling fish, all help create a variety of environments that nurture an amazing array of endemic species, from the smallest frog to the heaviest land tortoise and an abundance of nesting seabirds. The 115 islands in the archipelago of the Seychelles are a virtual living museum of natural history and a sanctuary to some of the rarest species of flora and fauna on earth. The tropical, crystal clear waters that lap against the white powder beaches are teeming with an abundance of life from the smallest of critters to the largest, the Whale Shark. Come with us on an intimate journey through the breath-taking natural beauty of the Seychelles islands.
Start your journey at the most scenic and famous of the granitic inner islands – Mahé, Praslin and La Digue. Explore Mahé, the largest island in the Seychelles. Visit the colourful market and exotic gardens where you can get close to Tortoises and endemic birds. Learn about the history of the spice trade and see the Creole architecture and colonial-era monuments. In Praslin enjoy the timeless beauty of the forest of the Valle de Mai, a ‘slice of Eden’ and UNESCO world heritage site, with its endemic Coco de Mer palms. Over 50% of the land mass of the Seychelles is national parks and protected areas. Enjoy the characteristic smooth granite rocks and white sandy beaches of La Digue.
For unrivalled access to the more remote outer islands what better way than by privately chartered yacht. Spend 10 incredible days exploring the remote coralline islands of the Amirantes and Alphonse Islands. Experience a wide variety of reef and marine life including reef sharks, stingrays, schooling eagle rays, batfish, lobsters, octopus, barracuda, and turtles. Discover natural marine reserves, beautiful coral reefs, huge boulders, dramatic vertical walls, underwater mazes, and swim-throughs unique to the Seychelles. Walk through significant island nature reserves filled with unique flora and birdlife and see the Giant Tortoises roam freely. Our private charter allows you to experience first-hand the underwater riches and unique wildlife that make the Seychelles so special.
The Alphonse coral atoll group is considered one of the most pristine, untouched Eden’s of the world, making it a nature lover’s haven and home to some of the best diving in the Seychelles. The magnificent island trio comprising of Alphonse, St. Francoise and Bijoutier lies in the very heart of the Indian Ocean as part of the Seychelles outer island group. With miles of unblemished shorelines, lagoons, healthy corals, magnificent marine life and sea flats it really has the tropical island feel and is the perfect finish to your Seychelles adventure.

“Once again my recent (sixth!) Wild Earth Expeditions adventure to Fiji and Tonga delivered on all fronts. We enjoyed thrilling shark dives, extraordinary reefs of soft coral in every colour of the rainbow, snorkelling up close and personal with humpback mothers and calves and so much more. Our little group included travellers of all ages and seven different countries, which enriched the overall fabric for sure. Wild Earth Expeditions considers every detail throughout, so joining them sets the stage for a wonderful adventure. I’m a huge Wild Earth Expeditions fan and can’t wait for my next adventure.”
