A paradise for the bird watchers. Don’t forget your mosquito repellent and enjoy the company of big tortoises.

The beach is so clean and well maintained. Never give up on a once in a lifetime experience of seeing the different varieties of exotic birds. The bird reserve tour is a guided one and you get to see crabs and tortoises as well. Boat tours to Cousin is very less during August due to the rough seas. But we were lucky as we booked with Sagittarius and they gave the all clear to go ahead with the visit.

Otherwise known as Bird island, a conservation success story where an island was bought out for the purpose of saving a unique bird habitat and endemic species like the Seychelles warbler. Lots of mosquitoes, be prepared !

Visited Cousin Island as a part of Cousin, Curieuse & St. Pierre Island day tour. The island is quite beautiful and is known for bird watching. We stopped by for some snorkelling points around island..as it has beautiful corals around it. The corals become beautiful when you go towards the island or towards the large boulder, where you see very colorful corals and a lot of parrot fishes and other varieties.
