Bird Island, Seychelles
Nature lovers, this is something you will definitely love on this list! The Bird Island of Seychelles is entrapped by white sand beaches which are decorated by smooth driftwood. Clear, indigo waters surround this breathtaking island, and yet even they abound with healthy reefs. It is a true tropical paradise fit for relaxing swims and underwater sightings.
The best part about Bird Island is… you guessed it… the birds! You can see as much as 300,000 birds of different species thriving here. Bird watching is a popular activity in the island, although it is also home to other rare species you should look out for.
The opportunities do not end here. Dolphins visit the shores of Bird Island several times throughout the year from October to December and from May to March. If you’re lucky, you can see these dolphins up-close during a dive. Endangered hawksbill sea turtles land on the ash white sands of the island every year from October to February to lay their eggs. Joining an ecotour will get you a closer look at these turtles as they lay their eggs. You will be accompanied by a local conservationist who will tell you more about these turtles’ breeding habits.
