Excursion Cousin island tour at La Digue

Take this opportunity to explore Cousin Island, a nature reserve and home to some of the Seychelles' rarest birds. Board your motorboat at La Digue Jetty and enjoy a cruise around the diverse coast before reaching Cousin Island.

Cousin Island

You are taken ashore via zodiacs and join your guide on a walking tour of the island. Purchased in 1968 by the International Council for Bird Preservation, the island is a haven for endangered species of land and seabirds, in particular the endangered Brush Warbler and the Magpie Robin. Giant tortoises are commonly spotted sharing the walking paths with visitors.

Before rejoining your catamaran for the ride back to La Digue, you may want to cool off with a refreshing swim.

Note

Please note: This tour involves a moderate amount of walking, some of it on uneven sandy grounds. This tour is not suitable for guests with physical limitations; participants need to be fit and agile. There is limited shade on the catamaran; bring along a sun hat and sunscreen. Be prepared for a wet landing as there is no jetty on Cousin Island. Camera equipment should be carried in plastic bags. Guests wishing to swim should wear their bathing suit. Insect repellent may be needed if the winds are very calm. Although a minimum number of guests is required for operation, space is limited. We suggest you book early.
