Moyenne Island

The island is most popular for the Giant Tortoises that roam here freely, the old ruins, and the pirate graves. Located towards the north coast of Mahe island, this island was abandoned until a Yorkshire editor purchased it in late 1960s and was the only person to inhabit the island until his death in 2012. As of now, this place remains a nature reserve and is visited by many tourists from all across the world as part of some organized trips.

This island is filled with 16,000 plants and trees like mahogany, mango, palm and several others. You will get to see the tortoise in here, and if you want, on the permission you can feed them too. There is a church of saints on the island and you can buy small things from here like old doll’s head and other old artefacts. There are some paranormal stories about this island as well, and you can hear about them from your guides or in the guidebook as well. This is one of the best places to visit in Seychelles for two days.
