SEYCHELLES: Ep. 70 Islands, Giant Tortoises & Beach BBQ Adventure of our Ultimate World Cruise

Join us on an unforgettable journey to the Seychelles, a paradise nestled in the Indian Ocean! In this video, we explore the beautiful islands of Mahe and Moyenne, showcasing pristine beaches, lush tropical landscapes, and the unique wildlife of this dream destination.
We start our adventure sailing from Dubai, taking four days to reach Mahe, the largest island in Seychelles, with its charming capital, Victoria. Enjoy breathtaking views as we dock and prepare for a day full of exciting activities.
We hop on a private speedboat to explore the surrounding islands, including a visit to the St. Anne Marine National Park. Snorkel in crystal-clear waters, encounter vibrant marine life, and discover the efforts to protect and grow the coral reefs.
Experience the thrill of meeting the Aldabra giant tortoises on Moyenne Island, a species endemic to Seychelles, and hike the serene trails amidst unique flora. Afterward, indulge in a delicious beachside barbecue prepared by our amazing crew, featuring local delicacies and fresh tropical fruits.
Don't miss the picturesque walk from one island to another during low tide, surrounded by warm turquoise waters. As we sail back to Eden Island, enjoy the stunning underwater views from our glass-bottom boat.
Our adventure ends with an announcement of a change in our itinerary due to weather conditions, leading us to our next destination - Mauritius. Subscribe and stay tuned for more amazing travel experiences!

It’s not only beautiful it’s breathtaking. It has to be one of your top 5 places to visit.

[@pictureretirement2953]

What a beautiful day. So nice that you had the island all to yourselves.

[@dboutier5636]

That truly was paradise that water was gorgeous. And it looks like your boat and crew were definitely five star. Stay safe.

[@bztravel]

Thank you so much!

[@petraariton]

Absolutely amazing! I'm speechless!

We're thrilled to have left you speechless. Your enthusiasm keeps us going!

Wow, wow, what stunning islands! I love the way that you celebrated, enjoyed and captured the beauty of the Seychelles! Thanks for sharing. I felt like I was there!

Thank you so much! We're really happy you enjoyed the video and felt like you were right there with us. The Seychelles are truly stunning, and it was a joy to capture and share their beauty. Thanks for watching and for your lovely comment! 🌴

Beautiful video. One of your best. Really enjoying following y’all around the world. We are loyal to Royal Caribbean

[@bztravel]

Thanks so much! 😊 We're actually RC shareholders, but we're also diverse travelers-life's too short to have the same experience over and over! We love spending quality time in each location, and those short visits can be pretty limiting. But this cruise is something else entirely! What sold us was the chance to see so many different places and the amazing 9-month deal with all the perks. Glad you're enjoying our journey! 🌍

Truly magical! Once again fabulous video❤

Thank you so much! 😊 We're glad you found the video truly magical.

Fabulous place. Now that is a place that I would love to visit. So beautiful. Your very lucky to have had the opportunity to go there

[@TeachSaveTravel]

The Seychelles is a dream for sure! Hopefully some day!! ❤

Absolutely, the Seychelles is like stepping into a postcard! 🌴✨ We hope that you get to visit someday soon. it's worth every bit of the hype.

Beautiful water . Great video.

Another fantastic video! Your lunch looked amazing 👍😊

Thanks a bunch! 😊 The fish was absolutely delicious. BBQ on the beach with a view like that-what more could we ask for? We enjoyed it a lot! 🌴

Only one word to say and that is "KEWL"........

[@bztravel]

I had to look up kewl, if anyone else wonders Kewl is a slang word and usually used in place of 'cool' Thanks for the comment and teaching me a new word. Is pronounced the same way as cool or just different way to spell cool?

One of your best vlogs Surprised no one else there Great tour walk lunch Looks like a place to add to our list Too bad it’s so hard to get

[@bztravel]

We're thrilled you think it's one of our best vlogs! We were surprised too-having the place almost to ourselves was a dream. The tour, walk, and lunch were just perfect. Definitely add it to your list; it's so worth it! Sure, it’s a bit of a trek to get there, but the experience is unforgettable. Thanks for watching and happy travels!

[@traceymoore6679]

What a beautiful place. Perfection. Thank you both for showing such amazing places ❤ your favourite Aussie follower

[@bztravel]

Hey there, favorite Aussie! 😊 Thanks a ton for the love! Cheers!

[@safepetproducts]

You could do a day at sea video. Could be interesting.

[@bztravel]

Great idea! Many are asking us to do a "life on the ship" video, and we plan to do one after Cape Town. For us, the ship is mainly a way to get from one amazing place to another. We use the sea days to rest and edit our videos (which we love doing as a hobby). We find the destinations more interesting, as cruise ships tend to have similar activities, great food, and entertainment. Stay tuned!

The nature walk and the turtles was lovely. You could show us the partly empty cruise ship. Did the homing pigeons finally leave?

[@bztravel]

Thanks! The nature walk and turtles were such a peaceful experience. 🐢 As for the homing pigeons, the crew captured them in Penang, but no one will tell us what happened to them. We promise to make a ship video soon. For us, the ship is just a way to get from one port to another, but we know it's part of the adventure too. We have many sea days before we reach Europe, so we'll definitely do a ship video and hope it meets your expectations. Stay tuned! 🚢

[@snackdaddy5770]

Wow, wow and wow. Thanks a bunch for sharing.

[@herenow6953]

Beautiful! That turquoise water - the white sand - just amazing! I felt like I was there with you - the water lapping at the boat, bouncing through the chop - I've been to so many plaecs like that and understand just how much they touch you. A shame about La Digue - hopefully Mauritius will be OK - I think Port Louis is big enough for the ship to dock. That really looked to be one of the very special days of your trip - your joy was evident. Enjoy the sail to Mauritius - see you there!

[@bztravel]

It’s awesome that you've been to similar places and totally get that special feeling. Glad you could feel the joy through the video-those moments were truly unforgettable.

Arghhh...just lost my comment due to multi-tasking. We love your videos, especially this one, which is your best yet (except for the slightly too loud Caribbean music :). You really made us feel like we were with you on that hike (ouch, my knee hurts) and on that sandy beach, looking at the beautiful blue water. And those wonderful tortoises. Heaven. We remarked to each other that it would be so much nicer if the ships would stay overnight when at a wonderful port like Mahe Island. Would you mind sharing the name of your boat and tour information? Looking forward to more of your UWT travel videos. We are subscribed and when we watch via the MacBook I can "like" and comment, though we often watch KZbin streaming via our Tivo unit. Best wishes to you both.

[@bztravel]

Argh, multitasking strikes again! 😅 Thanks so much for your kind words-we're thrilled you love our videos, especially this one! Sorry about the loud Caribbean music; we'll keep that in mind for future videos. Glad we could take you along on our hike and beach adventure, even if it made your knee hurt a bit! The tortoises were indeed heavenly. We totally agree-it would be amazing if ships could stay overnight at beautiful ports like Mahe Island. We booked the trip 4 months ago, I will find the detail and reply again to you comment. Thanks for subscribing and supporting us! We appreciate every like and comment. Best wishes to you both and stay tuned for more!

[@pamfromwashington]

Wow! I feel like I've had a little vacation right along with you:) Tressa, you are an inspiration to me with your ability to be fit and fabulous on a cruise and in general! Have you heard people refer to cruise weight gain as baby weight? lol! Not for you! Do you do a comfortable low carb lifestyle and exercise? Would love to hear more about your strategy. I have three cruises in the coming year and would love any tips. Thanks!

[@bztravel]

Aww, thanks so much! We're thrilled you felt like you were on vacation with us! Haha, "baby weight" from cruising is a real thing, I try to stick to a comfortable low-carb lifestyle, which helps a lot. I don't eat 3 meals a day and avoid the buffet. The dining room keeps the portions smaller and skip desert! Plus, I make it a point to stay active. I try and avoid the bus tours and instead choose private tours to get more walking. I use the gym for weights only and do the dance classes on the ship along with walking an hour while at sea.

[@MichaelPratt-m3f]

Good to be the King! 👍 Nice video.

Haha, no kings or queens here! 😄 We both grew up poor, so we totally get how lucky we are to enjoy a trip like this. Thanks for watching and glad you liked the video!

The best video so far ❤️.. I m in love with this islands 🤗🥰waooooo… I m really jealous 😅I wanna jump in this crystal clear amazing water .. I can not resist it 🏝️Amazing 😍and pleeease , tell us How can we book this private boat with the private driver and the amazing private captain 🤗( details please ..) and for how much if u don’t mind .. thank u .. Enjoy it to the Max .💫💐🥰

[@rrosario2006]

What’s your advice in booking private tours? Where do you look?

[@bztravel]

We always try to research every port for things to do. KZbin is a great resource, but there aren't always many videos of cruise ports. In most ports, you'll find tours offered right at the gate or cruise terminal. We usually Google terms like "car and driver," "taxi tour," "private tour," and so on. Traveling independently takes a bit more work, but it gives you a better experience and, believe it or not, you end up saving money! Happy travels! 🌏

[@LynnDavis-ln3bx]

Tressa … question How old are you & Zarko You are so active I’m 67 🥰

[@bztravel]

Zarko is 67 and I am 65. We are not so active as we use to be, is not fun getting old.

[@SM-og1of]

amazing tour! How did you book this tour? do you remember the company name? Going there this december 😊 Thank you for the wonderful content

[@bztravel]

We booked the tour a year before the cruise, but unfortunately, I don't have my notes anymore. I do remember we found them online directly (no big company involved), and it cost us around $600. Sorry I can't recall the exact name, but I hope you have an amazing time in the Seychelles this December! Thanks for watching and for your support 😊
