Cousin, Cousine and Aride Islands

Bird Island might have the right name, but these three islands are also brilliant for bird lovers.

Breeding grounds for hundreds of thousands of seabirds (Aride is home to more than a million) you will also find several rare land birds on these islands. Cousin is a nature reserve which can be visited from Praslin on a guided tour although you cannot stay here overnight, whereas its sister island, Cousine is a privately owned conservation island with four chalets where daytrippers are not allowed.

Aride is possibly the most unspoilt of all the islands and it too is a nature reserve. You can organise a day trip to Aride from most of the larger hotels on Praslin to explore the fantastically rich flora and fauna.

The sheer number of birds living on Aride makes it a pretty noisy place, however!
