Day 4 Cousin Island - Praslin Island, Seychelles

Early in the morning we cruise to Cousin Island, a small island renowned as a haven for seabirds.

It's the most protected island in the archipelago, providing a breeding ground for eleven sea bird species annually and a habitat for five birds native to the Seychelles. We stay overnight in Praslin.
