Highlights include the Stingray Touch, Hummingbird Aviary, Warden Aquarium, and Earth Sciences Center, where visitors can explore a replica limestone cave. Plan for at least two hours to fully experience this immersive destination.

The volcanic island of Silhouette is significantly younger than its nearby siblings, formed by a volcanic eruption 63 million years ago (compare to Mahe Island's venerable age of 650 million years). It is home to the archipelago's arguably most affordable luxury resort, Hilton Seychelles Labriz Resort & Spa. The island's reef is one of the best in the archipelago, with nature trails and diverse flora and fauna adding to the appeal.
