Get some complimentary snorkelling equipment from the dive centre and explore the magical marine world of the Seychelles, or teach your kids the intricacies of chess with the giant board next to the ZEZ Lounge.

Day Five:

After having settled properly into the island lifestyle, it’s time to explore a little more of the Seychelles. North Island is the perfect playground for kids and the young at heart of all ages. An exclusive luxury lodge, North Island has only 11 guest villas which offer the very best in privacy, location, accommodation, services, facilities and experiences. The natural beauty, pirate history, and sense of space and freedom will liberate your kids’ imaginations and sense of fun as they explore the Island. North Island’s generous spaces provide an ideal venue for multi-generational family holidays, giving you all the chance to reconnect on a deeper level. Shared activities help you shed the stresses of everyday life and time apart, as you rediscover your carefree self and feel the pristine white sand between your toes.

Your stay at North Island includes the following:

• Local Government tax.

Day Six to Eight:

Time spent on this amazing island will be count down in experiences, rather than minutes; all blending together to form the perfect family escape.

- Cool forest trails explored with mountain bikes create an air of tropical exhilaration, snorkeling or diving in the warm seas reveal a world of marine wonder, sea kayaking or fishing expeditions thrill the active, while boating to other islands satisfies the adventurous.

- An evening cruise complete with an Indian Ocean sunset is the perfect way to finish the day.

- Let the island become the ultimate playground for your children, with a wide range of activities on land and in the water designed to keep young minds and bodies active, to satisfy the most inquisitive and thrill the most adventure-seeking. All activities are supervised by expert staff to ensure your children will be well looked after and entirely safe – and of course adults are welcome to join in too! With your kids enrolled in the North Island Bush Buddy program, you can take time out to reconnect with each other in complete peace and quiet – unless of course you cannot resist a game of balloon tennis, a pizza-making lesson or a pirate treasure hunt!

- Your inner foodie will be delighted with the ‘no menu’ concept presiding over your culinary encounter, meaning the chef will develop your own daily carte du jour based on your preferences and desires. A mélange of cultural influences is combined with the abundance on offer from the Indian Ocean and the island’s organic richness to create North Island’s taste. Balanced, delectable and attractive, each meal is a feast to stimulate the senses. Your mouth-watering experience is perfectly rounded off by some of the world’s great wines and champagnes from the cellar. A choice of exotic, beautiful dining settings complement your meals, from the large dining area set against a backdrop of natural granite with superb views over the sea, to secluded beaches, the pool deck or the privacy of your villa. Of course, untested palates will be catered for in full as well!

- Exotic and rare, the Spa on North Island is a holistic journey of visual and textural contrasts, arousing the senses and rejuvenating the mind, body and soul. The Spa is a place of exquisite natural beauty and timeless relaxation – the perfect sanctuary-within-a-sanctuary, designed to assist you in forgetting absolutely about the rest of the world. North Island is a fertile paradise – the ideal setting for the Noah’s Ark conservation program. Thanks to thousands of indigenous plant species grown in the nursery and then transplanted throughout the island, its habitat has been restored to become a place where fauna and flora endemic to the Seychelles can flourish. Alien rodents have been successfully eradicated and excitingly, species such as Seychelles blue pigeons and breeding populations of wedge- tailed shearwaters and white-tailed tropicbirds have returned of their own accord. Hawksbill and green turtles nest on the beaches once more. The next phase has involved introducing more indigenous life. A founder population of 25 Seychelles white-eyes, of which a mere 400 remain on Earth, was introduced in 2007 and gratifyingly settled down to nest and produce the next generation in a place of safety and plenty. The population on the Island currently exceeds 60 birds, with North now responsible for a significant proportion of the world population of the species: a responsibility they have taken on with enthusiasm and pride. The introduction of the Seychelles black mud terrapin has been similarly successful. Spending time with the Environmental Team will allow you to marvel at the full scope of what has been done in order to create a true Noah’s Ark in the Indian Ocean.

Day Nine:

Time to move on! You will be transferred by helicopter to Frégate Island where you will be staying for your last three nights in a Private Pool Residence. Frégate Island Private is as magnificent as the previous two properties, yet very different. Completely committed to conservation, their efforts are shown through sensitively developed luxury accommodation that allows guests to immerse themselves in the natural beauty of the island. The island is home to approximately 2,000 free-roaming Giant Aldabra Tortoises, the nests of hundreds of endangered Hawksbill Turtles, as well as the Seychelles Magpie Robin, which has recently been removed from the endangered species list. Your 55-minute welcome head & shoulders massage will induce a state of tranquil relaxation – perfect for Frégate Island Private!

Your stay at Frégate Island Private includes the following:

• Unique Island Dining Experiences – anything, anywhere, anytime.

• Personal laundry service. Island buggy.
• Non-motorised watersports (sailing, windsurfing & sea kayaking, as well as snorkelling off shore).

Day Ten to Eleven:

Start off your stay at Frégate Island Private with your complimentary introductory yoga session at the Rock Spa, followed by a romantic breakfast for you and your family on Anse Victorin whilst enjoying the early morning on the beach. Your time is on your own on Frégate Island Private, with an inspiring natural outdoor playground for children. Make this time educational for them and go on a nature walk with one of the resident conservationists, who will tell you more about the local ecosystem and their conservation efforts to make this the pristine wilderness as it once was. Other activities include biking around the island, sailing, surfing, and kayaking. You will also receive a half-day deep sea fishing excursion, so take the kids to further expand on their fishing expertise. Experience a night sky unlike any other with the Stargazing program, and allow the Rock Spa’s own range of products which are made in the Seychelles and grown on Frégate, to transport you into complete bliss. One of the best things about Frégate is that you can enjoy a meal anywhere, anytime on the island, so make a special occasion of it with the entire family!
