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.

    Ankurprava's 6 days trip to Seychelles

    It was our first trip outside India, and I must admit that it was amazingly organised. Everything was taken care of well in advance, starting from our arrival at Seychelles till we caught a flight back to India. The hotels were extraordinary, and the travel agent/agency was mindblowing. We loved ev
    ery bit of our stay there without a hazel.

    Dr's 7 days trip to Seychelles

    We had a visit to Seychelles in first week of April and stayed in Mahe and Praslin , 3 nights each. It was with the help of Mr Kunal of Holidaybox. He was quite helpful all the time and contactable. He gave the best rate compared to other tour operators. Hotels booked at both Mahe and Praslin were
    good, Mahe hotel (Coral Strand Smart Choice ) was better with choice of 3 restaurants. It is advisable to buy 5L water bottles from nearby supermarkets as these are extremely costly in hotels. We also had a day tour to La Digue. Overall experience was good. I wish we knew that walking was not practical for us senior citizens in LaDigue and since we do not cycle and did not know about other options we had to shell out SCR 2000 taxi at an exorbitant price. It is advisable to pre- book electric buggy (cheaper) at LaDigue in advance for those who do not cycle but we had no prior information. All these buggies were pre-booked and we had to engage a taxi. The services of Creole travel service was amazingly perfect however the other provider Jadore for St Anne Marine national park was not that professional. They had mentioned wrong hotels against guests which caused confusion to the pick-up driver. Also we had to argue with Maria of the company to show the Moyenne island which was included in the voucher sent by them. Maria later promised us on phone (after lot of arguments) that she will refund the ticket price which was refunded eventually after return to India through Holiday box. The Barbecue lunch at Cerf island was also unclean and not good for vegetarians. Only Rice and Dal (pulses) were provided to vegetarians, no equivalent BBQ veg. I wish St Anne park was also booked with Creole travel services rather than Jadore.

    Rajatranjan's 7 days trip to Seychelles

    Thanks to travel triangle and Thousand miles for the trip, though i am not very satisfied with few things and more than happy for a few things! Let me give you a unbiased review based on my experience. We went to seychelles through thousand miles for honeymoon for 7days 6 nights pre planned for mos
    t of the days. Our Agent was Gurnur from Thousand miles team, so at the start she was very helpful in terms of understanding the requirements, any kind of doubts, she was available and very helpful until the quote and discussions ended. Post that, i had to wait for her reply for n number of times. She was really good in terms of arranging the trips and other details, but i guess that was it. Once our trip started, lots of different things came up for which we wanted to contact Gurnur, but unable to do so. We had our Honeymoon dinner beach side candle night dinner planned with Gurnur and the amount was also decided for 250 to 300 Euros, but due to certain issues, it was not confirmed with the Hotel(Palm Beach Resort), but it was not communicated to me. I understood this thing there that DO NOT BOOK EXTRA excursions with them because no one replied, neither 7 south (Seychelles Agents) nor Gurnur. After multiple calls to Shikha, i got another contact which was Gurbhajnik who assisted us and tried, but nevertheless with whole trip pre planned for each day, we didnt get a chance for our Beach Side candle night dinner anyhow! Now for the refund I AM STILL WAITING FOR IT!! but amount is now 200 EUROS. :( Now for Other Categories Hotels: Hotels were good and what we expected, though hotels other than 5 star do not provide complimentary water bottles. :D Apart from that, our hotels were Palm Beach Resort & Sun Resort which were good and service was impeccable. Cabs: Hats off to 7 South for their arrangements to and fro from trips Excursions: We had other excursions also planned which went ahead smoothly with 7 South as our Agent in Seychelles in place. But thanks to the team for other planned excursions such as Sunset Cruise(which due to some cyclone we were not able to do so) though the team were very good and helped anyway possible to get us the look. La Digue Island and Marine Park tours were also very awesome. Moynnee island tour, snorkeling experience. Hospitality of seychellions La digue - a true paradise in seychelles. Must must visit . Final Review: Thousand miles and 7 South are good, though please DO NOT have extra excursions added, it may not be fruitful. Go there and book on your own for which the rate will also be reasonable. Though Seychelles is a must go! Other review: 1. Get Euros from Mumbai Airport and then get Seychelles Rupees from Cash plus (Somewhere around 100 Euros is fine) 2. Get a international Forex card such as Niyo(my personal favorite) for any transactions and have somewhere around 500 Seychelles rupees in cash at hand. 3. Make sure to get any Indian convenience store for water bottles. (This we didnt know, so its an experience) Water might be costly than beer here!! 4. Do have other Indian couples in contact for other trips. 5. Understand the Bus routes and travel by Bus for cheaper travel options. Only 12Rupees to anywhere in Praslin or Mahe.
