In the heart of the Indian Ocean, a thousand miles from the coast of Africa, lie the Outer Islands of the Seychelles. One of the last untouched frontiers, these coral-covered atolls formed from volcanoes that rose from the ocean floor and flourished into an enchanting oasis for life in the vast turquoise sea. Immerse yourself in this tropical paradise with our Blue Safaris which offer exclusive access to this remote collection of coralline island atolls and flats.
The government restricts access to the region to protect the ecosystems of the southern half of the archipelago, which makes this exclusive visit even more special. As such, it’s one of the world’s healthiest climates with miles of unblemished shorelines, lagoons and sea flats full of marine life, birds, turtles and more. Here you can swim in the crystal clear waters, stroll along the pristine white sand beaches and dive into a mesmerising underwater world abundant with colourful marine life. From snorkelling to bone fishing and participating in conservation efforts, we’ll curate an itinerary to fulfil your dreams of an adventure in paradise.
