Silhouette

 Silhouette is especially recommended for Nature Lovers and Hikers. This is the third largest island of the Seychelles and was once the supposed hideout of the famous pirate Houdoul.

 The island is only reachable via a Helicopter flight from Mahe. Here absolutely no motorised vehicles exist, indeed no proper roads, just 2 dirt tracks from North to South. The landscape is very mountainous, and good footwear is recommended. The equatorial forest offers thousands of wonders. Due to its fascinating nature life, the island is strictly protected, with only one Lodge offering accommodation, and day trips to the island are only permitted when special permission is given.
