It is a kaleidoscope array of untouched forests, bird sanctuaries, exotic hideaways, virgin fishing grounds, and spectacular diving spots where few have ever ventured. One of the Seychelles greatest assets is its wide variety of islands all with their own distinct geography, character and stories to tell.
