Noah's Ark Project
Situated about 18 miles off the coast of Mahé, North Island—locally called Ile du Nord—spans just over 500 acres of verdant tropical foliage, where coconut palms and towering takamaka trees thrive amidst three majestic granite outcrops. Once a forgotten gem, this island is now the focus of a groundbreaking restoration effort. The visionary "Noah’s Ark Project" embarked on an ambitious rehabilitation plan, breathing new life into this once-neglected sanctuary. Today, North Island is steadily reclaiming its natural beauty, transforming back into the pristine paradise it was always meant to be.

THE SEYCHELLES
In addition to workd-class diving, North Island’s shores and forests are equally rich in life. Over 200 plant species flourish in 16 diverse habitats, while unique invertebrates and reptiles find their home here. The marshlands at the island’s heart are a haven for giant tortoises, and rare waterbirds like the elusive yellow bittern. The landscape is dotted with towering pandanus trees, their roots gripping rocky outcrops, while vibrant day geckos with brilliant orange markings scurry over both vertical cliffs and sprawling branches. Above, large Seychelles fruit bats—known as flying foxes—grace the sky with their broad one-meter wingspans, performing agile daytime acrobatics.
In the rocky outcrops, wedge-tailed shearwaters nest together in colonies, while the proud Seychelles kestrels claim their territory nearby. White-tailed tropicbirds soar offshore, adding grace to the coastal skies. Once rare, Seychelles blue pigeons and sunbirds are now a familiar sight, joining the other endemic birds like the swiftlet, kestrel, and the introduced white-eye. Hopes are high for the reintroduction of the Seychelles magpie-robin, a species that could one day grace these skies again.
On the island’s pristine beaches, green and hawksbill turtles come ashore in growing numbers, a heartening sight as these ancient mariners—both listed as critically endangered and endangered by the IUCN—continue their timeless ritual, laying the next generation of life on North Island’s sands.

Diving in Seychelles
The warm, crystal-clear waters around North Island teem with life, a world of wonders beneath the surface. On the ocean floor, vibrant corals—both soft and hard—light up the depths: green tree, dead man's finger, and staghorn corals, along with delicate sea fans and colorful sponges, all thrive here. Nudibranchs glide gracefully, their vivid forms adding to the underwater spectacle. The reefs are home to an ever-changing kaleidoscope of fish—spotted eagle rays, parrotfish, round ribbontail rays, and sleek white-tip reef sharks dance through the currents. In the deeper waters, members of the kingfish family, along with giant barracuda, wahoo, and majestic sailfish, swim with regal ease. Seasonal visitors like whale sharks and massive sleepy sharks bring awe to those fortunate enough to witness them.
