Silhouette island
Ultimate guide (September 2024)
Silhouette is a small island located to the northwest of major Mahe island in Seychelles. Strange, but most of tourists don't know about this wonderful place. However, in addition to the National Park (90% of island), there are also two hotels and even a local village. The island is beautiful - with many
great beaches. It really have an island's feeling due to its small size. It is always possible to walk to the opposite side of the island and back - during one day. Hiking trails both inside the island, as well as along the coastline are often in poor condition, but still quite passable. Shore and seabed: sand, stones.
