The northernmost granitic island of the Seychelles and one of the most important seabird sanctuaries in the Indian Ocean, home to over a million breeding birds. Frigatebirds, tropicbirds and the endemic Seychelles warbler thrive here, and the island's Wright's gardenia grows nowhere else on Earth. Landings are managed by a conservation trust and depend on sea conditions.

The world is wide open.
