Step into the fascinating world of the Giant Aldabra Tortoise, the planet’s oldest living animal, and learn about their unique characteristics, habitats, and behaviors. This sanctuary provides an immersive experience, allowing you to interact with over 50 of these prehistoric creatures in their natural environment.
The Giant Aldabra Tortoise, whose lineage dates back to millions of years ago, has undergone minimal changes since the days of dinosaurs, making them a living link to our planet’s ancient past. These gentle giants are native to the Indian Ocean, where they thrive in the lush greenery and warm climate. Typically, they grow up to 4 feet in length, weigh over 600 pounds, and can live for up to 200 years.
At the sanctuary, you can observe and learn about their unique physical features, such as their long necks, domed shells, and elephant-like feet. You can also witness their curious and friendly nature firsthand and interact with them under the guidance of our experienced staff.
Don’t miss out on the opportunity to get up close with these amazing creatures and discover more about their role in the ecosystem and the ongoing conservation efforts to protect them.

If you’re looking for a truly unforgettable experience, we highly recommend combining a visit to the Stingray Sanctuary with a trip to Laviscount Island. Let us take you on a journey like no other.
Your adventure will begin with a short boat ride to the Stingray Sanctuary, where our expert rangers will guide you on how to interact with and feed the friendly stingrays. You’ll be amazed at how gentle and playful they are! You’ll also get the chance to take some incredible photos with them.
After spending about an hour with the stingrays, we’ll take you on a quick 5-minute boat ride to Laviscount Island. Here, you’ll be met by the Laviscount Island Ranger, who will welcome you and take you to a nearby mini-bar for drinks before heading to the Aldabra tortoise enclosure.
At the enclosure, you’ll receive a brief introduction to the tortoises before getting to pet and feed them. These gentle giants are fascinating to watch and interact with. You’ll learn about their natural habitat and the conservation efforts in place to protect them.
Once you’re done with the tortoises, you’ll be taken on a tour of the island, where you’ll see some of the exotic birds and iguanas that call Laviscount Island their home. You’ll also learn about the conservation efforts in place to preserve the island’s ecology.
We recommend that you wear comfortable shoes, bring swimwear, cameras, sunscreen, and sunglasses. Please note that pickup from your location or resort is not included in this activity.
We promise that this will be an experience you’ll never forget!
