Silhouette Island
Silhouette Island - a haven for nature lovers

Silhouette Island - Seychelles Silhouette is the third biggest granite island of the Seychelles. At night, the top of its mountain range shines like a ghostly pyramid in the moonlit sea. The almost circular island has one of the densest rain forests of the Indian Ocean. For many years it was the home of the notorious pirate Jean Hodoul. According to local folklore, he buried treasure in the fissured mountains and cliffs of the island.


Untouched by modern progress, this rare gem is the ideal retreat for all nature lovers. Silhouette has neither roads nor paths and is reachable only by boat or helicopter.

The highest summit is Mount Dauban (740m), which is surrounded by a mostly unexplored rain forest full of botanical treasures such as the rare pitcher-plant, orchids, rare hardwoods and the incense tree, which is only found on Silhouette.

The island is completely surrounded by a vast corral reef, and its crystal-clear water is ideal for diving, snorkeling, swimming and fishing.
