You will board a flight to Seychelles International Airport (SEZ) on Mahé Island. Upon arrival, you will be fast-tracked through customs and transferred 5 minutes to Eden Island.

You will check into Eden Bleu Hotel, settling into your marina-facing room overlooking the international superyacht marina. If time permits before 4:00 PM, you will enjoy a brief guided tour of the area, exploring the high-end boutiques and waterfront dining at Eden Plaza. The day culminates in a sunset cocktail on the Empereur Terrace.

Today, you will take a morning tour of Victoria's landmarks, viewing the historic Victoria Clocktower — a miniature replica of London's Big Ben — and exploring the vibrant streets of the capital. You will also visit Domaine de Val des Près to interact with local traditional artisans and woodcarvers, watching skilled craftspeople at work using traditional techniques. Your stay remains at Eden Bleu Hotel.

After breakfast, you will board a specialized domestic charter flight from Mahé to Alphonse Island (approx. 1 hour south), enjoying spectacular aerial views of the turquoise water and the remote atolls of the outer Seychelles.

Upon landing on the private landing strip, you will check into a luxury beach bungalow at Alphonse Island Lodge, steps from the water. You will enjoy a welcome sunset beach bonfire briefing with the resident marine biologists, learning about the unique marine ecology of the atoll and its conservation efforts.

Today, you will embark on a world-class guided fly-fishing or wading expedition across the expansive sand flats, tracking bonefish, milkfish, and giant trevally navigating the crystal-clear shallow waters. Your expert guide will lead you through the best fishing spots, sharing insights into the behavior of the fish and the unique ecology of the flats. Your stay remains at Alphonse Island Lodge.

Today, you will board a swift tender boat to explore the completely uninhabited neighboring St. François Atoll, walking along endless untouched white sandbanks with turquoise water stretching to the horizon. You will enjoy a private picnic lunch in the middle of the ocean, dining on the sandbank itself with the sound of the waves all around you. Your stay remains at Alphonse Island Lodge.

Today, you will dive the pristine reef walls of Alphonse, famous for untouched coral structures and high visibility, swimming alongside manta rays, resident sea turtles, and hammerhead sharks along the deep drop-offs. Your expert dive guide will lead you through the best dive sites, with vibrant marine life and dramatic underwater scenery. Your stay remains at Alphonse Island Lodge.

Today, you will cycle along the island's forested interior tracks to visit the historic coconut processing ruins, exploring the island's plantation-era history.

Today, you will spend the morning kayaking or paddleboarding over the calm, protected lagoon reefs, a peaceful exploration of the turquoise water and coral beneath you. In the late afternoon, you will wade into the shallow reef flats at dusk for a unique sundowner experience — cocktails while standing directly in the ocean as the sun sets over the horizon. Your stay remains at Alphonse Island Lodge.

After breakfast, you will take the morning charter flight back from Alphonse Island to the main island of Mahé, taking in spectacular aerial views of the atolls and turquoise water. Upon arrival, you will check back into Eden Bleu Hotel for your final night, enjoying a relaxed evening and a gourmet Creole seafood dinner.

The following day, you will be transferred back to Seychelles International Airport for your connecting flight back to Nairobi, concluding ten days of fly-fishing, reef walls, and uninhabited atolls.
