Outer Islands & Aldabra Atoll (9 Nights)
The expedition heart of the Seychelles season: out past the granite islands to the raised coral atolls of the far southwest, ending at Aldabra, the UNESCO World Heritage atoll whose lagoon fills and empties through four channels twice a day. More giant tortoises live here than people in the Seychelles.
