Exploring Seychelles’ remote Outer Islands

Seychelles’ Outer Islands emerge as some of the planet’s last untouched wildernesses, where remote atolls like Astove brim with giant tortoises, vibrant reefs, and tempestuous seas. This raw beauty continues underwater, where plunging reef walls and swirling schools of fish create the feeling of drifting between worlds. While tourism thrives on the Inner Islands, the Outer Islands remain carefully protected through strict conservation policies and sustainable eco-resorts. Thanks to these efforts, including a landmark “Blue Bond,” this protected marine wilderness now thrives with recovering populations of sharks, manta rays, green turtles, and vast seabird colonies. Experiencing this untouched paradise is possible through low-impact operators like Blue Safari, which offers immersive stays in temporary eco-camps. Here, you can dive alongside gliding mantas, witness skies filled with nesting boobies, and truly feel like a visitor in a world where nature reigns supreme.
