Its traditional island life vibe, combined with stunning white sand beaches, makes it a prime location. The Veuve Nature Reserve on the island is a special treat, offering a serene environment to enjoy the moonlit night. It’s also an excellent place for spotting the black paradise flycatcher, an intriguing and endangered tropical bird.
2. Curieuse Island
Curieuse Island, known for its giant tortoises and rich history as a former leper colony, offers a unique experience under the full moon. The island’s white sands and the opportunity to explore the preserved national monument of the doctor’s house add to its charm. A boat trip from Praslin Island to Curieuse under the moonlight could be an unforgettable part of your journey.
3. Beau Vallon Beach
