Journal
Journal
Field notes, conservation dispatches, and seasonal intelligence from the people who live and work across the archipelago.
What this is
The Journal is written by the people who work in the archipelago — divemasters, conservation wardens, chefs, skippers, and naturalists. It is not a travel column. It is not content marketing. It is a record of what is happening on and around these islands, written by the people with the closest view.
Marc has been diving the Seychelles reefs for fourteen years. Annette has spent mornings with the SIF wardens at the Vallée de Mai. Pierre has sailed the inner and outer islands for two decades and knows anchorages that do not appear on any charter company's brochure. Marie-Claire's grandmother cooked on a wood fire. These are their accounts, not ours.
We publish when there is something worth saying — after a field visit, a conservation milestone, a seasonal change that guests planning a trip should know about. We do not publish on a schedule. We publish on a standard.
Field notes
First-person accounts from guides, wardens, and specialists working in the field. A divemaster on the April reef transition. A skipper on the anchorages the charter companies don't publish. A chef on the six dishes that define Seychellois Creole cooking. These are the accounts that make the difference between knowing what to expect and knowing what it actually feels like.
Conservation dispatches
Longer-form reporting from the conservation projects we partner with — the Seychelles Islands Foundation, the Island Conservation Society, the island management teams at Fregate, North Island, and Desroches. These are the numbers, the decisions, and the reasoning behind the programmes that guests contribute to when they travel with us.
A short letter, every other Friday. No offers.
