Bird Island

If you're a bird lover, this privately owned 70 hectare island is the most obvious place to visit. Home to over a million sea birds, it's a 30 minute flight from Mahe and relatively remote.

The best time to see the birds is between April and October - their breeding season. An enormous seabird colony - some 800 000 sooty terns - takes up a large part of the island and the sheer number of birds has to be seen to be believed. It's also an important nesting site for green and hawksbill turtles.

The island is also a popular game fishing destination.
