Rare fairy terns, toc-toc birds and endangered reed warblers breed in the trees and on the ground. You then cross over to Curieuse. The uninhabited island offers untouched wilderness and lush mangrove forests. Curieuse was once a leper colony and the house of the former island doctor now houses a museum. During a walk, you will get to know the secret stars of the island, the numerous giant tortoises. After a BBQ lunch on the powdered sugar beach, continue your Seychelles island hopping on Saint Pierre.
