travel42 Port Guide: Aride Island

travel42 Professional Cruise Port of Call Review

This island, purchased for a conservation group by chocolate-maker Christopher Cadbury in the 1970s but now in the care of the Seychelles' Island Conservation Society, is a hugely important seabird breeding colony. Aride Island is located 35 mi/55 km northeast of Mahe.

There are no tourist facilities or overnight stays, but scheduled tour boats depart from Praslin Monday-Friday and by special arrangement Saturday and Sunday. Private visiting arrangements can also be made. https://www.arideisla...
