About Aldabra
Located in the Southwest Indian Ocean are the Aldabra Group of islands — home to the famed Aldabra atoll.
Described by Sir David Attenborough as ‘one of the world’s greatest surviving natural treasures,’ Aldabra is a highly-protected UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Renowned for the world’s largest population of giant tortoises, along with other rare birds, plants, and reptiles, Aldabra Atoll is refuge to 400 species found nowhere else on the planet.
These breathtaking islands have long been celebrated for their remarkable biodiversity, which has survived in part thanks to their seclusion.
