Discover Curieuse Island with Bakadi Dreams – The Famous Tortoise Island

Experience the breathtaking beauty of Curieuse Island, also known as Tortoise Island – one of the Seychelles’ most beautiful nature reserves, home to unique wildlife and protected tropical landscapes.

🐢 Meet the Giant Tortoises

Your adventure begins between 9:00 AM and 9:30 AM with a boat transfer to Baie Laraie on Curieuse Island.

At the Visitor Centre, you’ll have the opportunity to observe the famous Aldabra Giant Tortoises roaming freely in their natural habitat—an unforgettable experience for visitors of all ages.

🌿 Walk Through Mangroves & Tropical Nature

From there, enjoy a guided walk across gentle hills and through a lush mangrove forest to the beautiful Anse St. José.

Here, you can optionally enjoy a freshly prepared Creole barbecue served right on the beach while taking in the stunning island scenery.

🌴 Relax or Explore

After lunch, you’ll have free time to enjoy the island at your own pace:

• 🌴 Relax under the shade of the palm trees
• 🌊 Swim in the crystal-clear turquoise waters
• 🏛️ Visit the former leper colony, where the historic ruins and the beautifully restored colonial doctor’s house offer fascinating insights into Curieuse’s past

🐠 Snorkeling at St. Pierre

In the afternoon, we continue by boat to the small island of St. Pierre, one of the Seychelles’ most popular snorkeling spots.

Discover colorful coral reefs, tropical fish, and—with a little luck—even a sea turtle gliding through the clear waters.
