Curieuse Island, Seychelles

Curieuse Island Giant Tortoise Walk

Meet free-roaming Aldabra giant tortoises and walk the mangrove trails of Curieuse Island.

About this experience

A short boat ride from Praslin brings you to Curieuse, a former leper colony now given over to the conservation of the Aldabra giant tortoise.

Hundreds of these ancient creatures roam freely across the island. Walk the boardwalk through one of Seychelles’ healthiest mangrove forests, then cool off in the shallows of Anse St José before a grilled fish lunch on the beach.
