Even upon arrival, it becomes clear who calls the shots here. Sounds, movement, and rhythm don't come from humans, but from the air.
During the breeding season, huge colonies of sooty terns arrive. Reports speak of up to 1.5 million birds in a single season. The experience is loud, dense, and intense. That's precisely why it's so memorable. The island is considered one of the earliest examples of ecotourism in the Seychelles. Conservation and observation are paramount, not spectacle.
