Description: Cousine Island

In the waters of the Indian Ocean, there is an island like no other on Earth. Just below the equator and 1500 miles east of Africa, Cousine Island is one of the most pristine islands of the Seychelles archipelago. Listen as the sound of the ocean surrounds your every sense, stroking its butterfly wings gently against your upturned face. High above the island Frigate birds soar effortlessly in the gentle tropical breeze. A dancing shadow over an island paradise. Cousine Island has been developed with conservation and sustainability in mind.

Cousine Island has a mission: "to promote and practice nature conservation and wise use of natural resources and to share this philosophy with their guests." Cousine is a haven for nature - unlike many islands, this island has no alien mammals so wildlife lives in peace and harmony. The 25 hectares are home to the Seychelles Magpie Robin, the Brush Warbler, Blue Pigeon and many others. Hawksbill turtles come here to lay their eggs - if you stay with between October and January you would be unlucky not to see this fabulous work of nature.

Cousine is all about peace and tranquility - if you are looking for night life this is not the island for you. During your stay you will meet the conservation officer who will take you around the island and show you their working practices. Rainwater is collected and treated to be safe to drink. Large storage tanks ensure they collect all they can. Cousine Island is a rare experience of nature´s perfection.
