Indian Ocean travel guides

Beach on La Digue

From tracking wildlife in Sri Lanka’s national parks to inspecting overwater bungalows on a coral atoll, and picnicking on sandbanks in the Maldives, our Indian Ocean specialists have years of experience exploring this glorious region. They’ve put together a series of travel guides to pass on their tips and advice to help you make the most of your time.

A good starting point when planning, they contain the latest information on new developments in the region and help you know what to expect once you arrive, whether you wish to track hawksbill turtles in the Seychelles, dine on a hand-crafted dhoni beneath billowing sails, or drink freshly crushed sugar cane straight from the back of a truck.
