The striking, triangular shape of Alphonse Island is one of the most beautiful spots amongst the Seychelles' coral islands. Beautiful white beaches line the edges of the dense natural forest, interspersed with the remnants of old commercial coconut groves. Here you will find ancient ambling tortoises, scurrying crabs and an interesting array of bird species.

Alphonse Island is a refuge for people looking for an authentic and unspoilt island experience.

Where it is Always Summer - Situated only 7º south of the equator and outside of the cyclone belt, the Island is blessed with one of the world’s healthiest climates and gorgeous, consistent weather. Alphonse offers guests year-round summer days with temperatures seldom dropping below 22°C (72°F).

For a change of scenery nip over to Bijoutier and Saint François, you will take the boat from Alphonse. Bijoutier, with its huge variety of fauna, it is so small can be exhausted in just 10 minutes on-foot. Saint François is shaped like a V, is flat, and is covered in coconut palm trees. There is a small but deep channel that separates the island from its neighbour Alphonse. This is another great spot to go fly fishing and deep-sea fishing.

Fly/bone & Big Game Fishing

The atolls of Alphonse and St.Francois are the ultimate fly/bone fishing locations in the Seychelles. Here you will enjoy the challenge of catching superb bone fish, five trevally species, triggerfish plus the enigmatic milkfish with weights up to 40lb that takes some landing.

The Alphonse fishing season runs from October through to May. The island takes a maximum of 12 fishing guests along with non-fishing partners and children. This means that at any one time there should be a good mix of none fishing to fishing guests.

Two anglers are allocated per skiff, accompanied by a fully experienced salt-water guide. Anglers fishing on St.Francois are transferred by a smart mothership. Being a very tide dependent location, the species caught will vary accordingly.
