Aldabra is the world's largest raised atoll set far out in the Indian Ocean. By virtue of its remote isolation, it is the only island outside of the Galapagos that is still populated by Giant Tortoises. It is also home to the Flightless Rail which is the most direct relative of the extinct Dodo. This unique and isolated coral pinnacle is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a place that very few people are fortunate enough to visit.

There is some incredible marine life on the reefs inside and around Aldabra Atoll where you can snorkel and scuba dive. The enormous lagoon fills and empties twice each day through only four channels creating strong regular currents which support a profusion of fish life; dolphins and whales can also be spotted offshore and some 2000 green turtles breed here annually.

The atoll ring consists of 4 major islands separated by the channels; the islands display two distinct terraces, at 4m and 8m above sea level. The fossilized limestone has been eroded by the weather into razor sharp rocks that have protected the wildlife for millennia. In the lagoon the flow of the tides has sculpted small limestone islands into strange mushroom-shaped pinnacles known as "champignons" to the locals. It is one of the last unexplored corners of the world and can only be dived by liveaboard.
