You can swim at Anse Source d'Argent, star of Bacardi ads, before lunching at the Lodge and an afternoon of leisure. The rare Black Parrot may also be spotted. The rich and unique bird life here is now preserved in the care of the International Council for Bird Preservation. It is the home of the Seychelles Brush warbler and is only one of 3 islands home to the Seychelles Fody. A quarter of a million seabirds breed here annually and there are major nesting beaches for turtles.
Lunch is included.
Aride is a striking granitic island with breathtaking views and spectacular bird colonies. It has the largest colonies of Noddy and Sooty terns of any granitic island in the group. Take plenty of film to capture baby tropic birds in their nest, Roseate terns and Red-Tailed tropic birds as well as the rare Wright's Gardenia, found nowhere else on earth. The guided tour is followed by a barbecue lunch with time afterwards for swimming and snorkeling. Bring along sturdy shoes and a bottle of water.
