Rated 4.50/5 ( based on 710 reviews )
Aride Island In Seychelles (East Africa)
A visit to Aride Island in Seychelles is an essential stop for any visitor to discover what these islands were like before human settlement. Aride Island is the northernmost island of Seychelles’ granitic islands. It comprises an area of roughly 68 hectares and is 1.6 kilometers long and 0.6 km wide.
Attractions of Aride Island Nature Reserve
Aride Island shelters one of the most crucial seabird populations in the Indian Ocean. It is also home to more breeding species than any other spot in Seychelles. Eighteen species of native birds – including five only found in Seychelles – breed on Aride. The Island Conservation Society of Seychelles manages Aride as a nature reserve. Five bird species found only on Aride are Seychelles warbler, Seychelles fody, Seychelles magpie robin, Seychelles blue pigeon, and Seychelles Sunbird.
Aride is also the only natural colony of Wright's Gardenia; the lizard has one of the world’s most dense populations of reptiles. The island is home to the largest colony of tropical shearwater in the world. Non-breeding frigatebirds are also found here in great numbers. Green turtles and hawksbill turtles are regularly paying visit to the coast of Aride.
The best time to visit Aride Island Nature Reserve is November through February as migratory and endemic birds abound. The entry fees of Aride Island Nature Reserve is EUR 50 for adults and free entry for children aged below five. A two-hour guided walk of Arid Island Nature Reserve starts from the home of former island owner. Visitors can spot seabirds, walk past banana plantations, and encounter various species of plants.
Excursions to the island are operated by local tour operators. The local boat owners also take visitors to the island. Keep in mind that tour fee should also include the fee for the island. Visitors should maintain decorum and not make any noises to disrupt birdlife at the island.

Koushik's 6 days trip to Seychelles
It was really great experience for the trip to Seychelles. Miss Nithika from Dream Travels coordinated well with us. She did really a great job & timely help when we faced the travel restrictions due to Corona. Even at the midnight she attended our call and helped us when needed :-). The only thing disappointment for us was the service from Oasis Restaurant was little bit poor. Where as the service from Hilton in Mahe was excellent.Karan Mehta

Manu's 5 days trip to Seychelles
We have booked our tour with holiday box and they helped us with our queries and questions whenever we needed any help specially palak.She is the one who helped us and creole team was also good and supportive.. Only thing which I can find they could have done better is telling on which say what places would be closed so that we could have planned our holiday better. But nevertheless it was good trip planned by palakDhruv Lodaya

Yogesh's 10 days trip to Seychelles
It was a well managed tour. However, one suggestion would be to coordinate between transfers and hotel check out times. Had to spend some time at lobby for all hotels. Rest all was good. Thanks for arranging all that.Saketh Appannagari
