Peace and Quiet come first on Cousine Island, "disturbed" only by the natural sounds of the sea and the Birds. Cousine Island has a beautiful, white sandy beach almost one kilometer long, which fringes the island on the eastern coast.
Although there are no organized fishing or diving expeditions from the island, these can be arranged on request. People who wish to go snorkeling can do so and snorkels and glasses can be obtained from the manager's office. Between September and January, Hawksbill turtles come ashore to lay their eggs, and it would be unlikely that the guest who stays for three or four days during this period would leave without having the opportunity to observe this wonderful sight. The Seychelles Magpie Robin, one of the world's rarest birds is found on the Island. There are only seventy birds left in the world - twelve are to be found on Cousine.
Other endemic birds are the Seychelles Brush Warbler, Blue Pigeon, Sunbird, and Fody. Thousands of seabirds nest on the island throughout the year. These include Noddy and Fairy Terns, Shearwaters and Tropicbirds.
The conservation officer is available to take guests on guided walks and explain about various aspects of interest. Cousine Island is not for those seeking nightlife and organized activities
