The islands offer a unique tourist experience, in the world landscape. They are not commercialized in an eye-popping way and are less suitable for shopping enthusiasts of all kinds.There are relatively few residents, but also lots and lots of nature. The archipelago includes over 100 different islands. Only a small part of them is inhabited. To a large extent, the highlight is the attractions of nature. Unlike other exotic sites, the wildlife in Seychelles is peaceful and friendly.

In the water, you can swim, dive or sail and see many dolphins. Due to the isolation of the islands, there are no populations of snakes nor dangerous insects. There are many birds, in some of the islands they are found in large numbers and their amazing song is a perfect concert, not only for the birders or the nature photographers who come.

The locals are very protective of the local sea turtle population and for the tourists it's a celebration. There are almost no other places where you can see the big turtles swimming for them, crossing the water gracefully and peacefully. In general, the islands are a paradise for romantic vacations and also for family vacations in a different style.

The biggest attraction is, as mentioned, nature. And in particular the wonderful coral islands.
