Cousin Island has a flourishing ecosystem with bird species such as the Flycatcher and Moorhen coexisting with colonies of Hawksbill Turtles, giant tortoises and other fauna endemic to the archipelago. Upon arrival, experience a guided walk around the island that shelters over 250,000 birds. After lunch, we head over to Praslin Island.

We continue the day’s activities with an excursion to La Digue Island in the afternoon.
