Cosmoledo Atoll’s pristine and untouched ecosystem boasts vast, wadeable sand flats, beautiful islands of different shapes and sizes as well as a wonderful lagoon. With very little human pressure on its environment over the years the encounters you’ll experience are proof of how remote and preserved this magnificent atoll is.
Location
Cosmoledo Atoll is situated just over 1,000 km from the main island of Mahé, and a mere stone’s throw from the World Heritage Site of Aldabra. Cosmoledo forms part of the Outer Islands of the Seychelles and is one of the last vestiges of conservation in the region.

The history of Cosmoledo Atoll
The atoll was named after a Portuguese navigator who was part of João da Nova’s crew, and the islands of Menai and Wizard were named after ships that explored the atoll during the Morseby Expedition in 1822. In 1878, the atoll was visited by Sergeant Rivers. One or two men inhabited each of the islands and in 1901 the exploitation of guano was taking place on North-East Island. Later years saw the drying of mangrove bark for export and the atoll used as a fishing and turtle hunting station until 1992 when it was abandoned.

Fauna and Flora of Cosmoledo
The remote location makes Cosmoledo a place of wild natural splendour. Habitats include sand dunes, expansive flats, mangroves, grassland and a dramatically fluctuating lagoon. This unique combination creates a hotspot of biodiversity. Cosmoledo Atoll consists of various scattered islands and is home to large populations of endemic birds like boobies, terns, and Frigatebirds. The lagoon and its sandy beaches are favoured by large populations of Hawksbill and Green Turtles for nesting and a host of feisty fish species on the flats.

Healthy populations of both hard and soft corals found here
Crucial spawning site of three important grouper species
