Arrive in Mahé and transfer to STORY Seychelles for an overnight stay, a luxurious resort set on a three-kilometre ribbon of white sand. The following day, a scenic three-hour flight will see you travel over 1,000 kilometres to Astove Atoll, where you’ll stay for three nights in the six-bedroom Coral House. The pristine atoll boasts a large inner lagoon, a string of white-sand beaches and the awe-inspiring Astove Wall, best described as an underwater Grand Canyon. Spend your days diving, snorkelling, fly fishing and exploring the reefs in the company of marine biologists, guides and conservationists.
Take a one-hour boat ride to Cosmoledo Atoll for a four-night stay in one of its eight rustic eco pods. Referred to as the Galapagos of the Indian Ocean, Cosmoledo is as wild and remote as it gets: an untouched ecosystem comprising over 20 beautiful cays and islands, home to green and hawksbill turtles, a large population of giant trevally, over 120 species of healthy coral and incredible numbers of exotic birds.
Fly to Alphonse Island for a three-night stay in one of the lodge’s beach bungalows. Relax by the pool or at the spa and take advantage of the incredible diversity of experiences on offer, including island tours, reef walks, paddleboarding, kayaking and all manner of vital conservation initiatives, such as monitoring manta rays, turtles and Giant Aldabra Tortoises.
Fly back to Mahé and transfer to Mango House for an overnight stay, a true hidden gem in a secluded corner of the island. Transfer to the airport on day 13 in time to catch your flight home.
