About Bird Island

Bird Island is a northern coral island in the Seychelles known for its eco-tourism. This destination serves as a sanctuary for thousands of migratory birds and giant tortoises today. You will find miles of white sand and clear water surrounding this private patch of land. It provides a simple lifestyle where nature remains the main attraction for every visitor arriving from the mainland today.

Several travellers booking Seychelles Tour packages choose this spot to see the world's heaviest tortoise, Esmeralda. The island focuses on conservation and sustainability, meaning there are no phones or televisions in the rooms. Walking around the coast allows guests to witness green turtles nesting during the night. It is a still location where the sounds of the ocean and birds fill the air.
