This is a beautiful place to visit. The island is astounding. We visited around the second week in Decemeber so was out of season for the birds. Considering the noise they did make during our stay I'm quite glad we missed the melee.The food was amazing, snorkelling with the turtles was an experience and we watched one eating for half... More

We loved it and, as we're used to jungle lodges, didn't find the 24h bird noise to be much of a problem, although some people might. Food was good, local cuisine. We were lucky enough to have local naturalist Robbie Besson all to ourselves for the nature tour. Robbie is really enthusiastic and obviously loves his job. We would happily... More

The nature highlight of our Seychelles holiday was 4 days on Bird Island – our second visit and we loved it. [We knew we were back when the plane had to circle the island to check there weren’t any giant tortoises on the runway before his approach!] We’d asked for Hut 26 which was the one we’d had before and...

Bird Island is my favourite place in all of Seychelles. You feel like you are on the edge of the world, a step back in time, away from the modern world..... theres no TV, no Air-con, no mini-bar, no pool, no cell-phones, no locks on the doors. Just a simple, comfortable chalet, wonderful island style food, beautiful breathtaking beaches and... More

As part of a holiday to Seychelles in April, we started with a trip to Bird Island! We love nature and birds so this was the place to go. Our agent kindly organised a Seychelles Bird Book beforehand and we had tried to do our homework with what birds we could expect to see. It is very worthwhile to do... More

This place is an experience! On some levels it's quite extreme with heat, flies and 24 hr bird noise but this is supplanted by a very special experience which gives you a feel of what the Sey heeled were like in the pre tourist era. Extremely nice owner and wildlife guide. Not for the faint hearted but definately for those... More

Half an hour by plane from the main island of Mahe. Not as luxurious as some places in the Seychelles but still an amazing experience. Don't go if you are not keen on wildlife! The villas are very comfortable, the food is excellent and all included in the price. The staff are very friendly and helpful. A must do is... More

Bird Island is remarkable . There cannot be many places on the planet where men, beasts, birds and fish live in such peaceful harmony. Giant tortoises are free to amble about the island, Birds nest on the ground and in the numerous trees, and don't mind at all if you approach them carefully to take a really close-up photo. Robby...

Our second trip to Bird and it is really an amazing place to get away to. As expected loads of birds nesting, tortoises, turtles and great fishing by hand! My two boys pulled the fish from the water on a string. Wonderful clear water to swim. If you are looking for luxury then that is not Bird but if you... More
