I was Expedition Leader on the MS Caledonian Star in the mid 90's and visited the atoll on no fwere than 17 occasions. Having travelled all over the world, Aldabra is right at the top of my list for its awesome remoteness and fantastic wildlife experiences.

I now run a company that organises itineraries for the worlds largest privately owned yachts and we are trying to get them to visit Aldabra to see if we can get them to take up the finacing of this fairytale place.
