Bird Island, as its name suggests, is a sanctuary for seabirds, especially during the breeding season. Thousands of sooty terns, fairy terns, and noddies flock to this small coral island, creating a remarkable spectacle of avian life. Bird Island is also known for its resident giant tortoises, including Esmeralda, one of the oldest and heaviest tortoises in the world. The island offers a unique eco-friendly experience, with accommodations focused on sustainability, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in its natural beauty while minimizing environmental impact.
