The world’s smallest national park; An island that one person made paradise

In the Indian Ocean, there is a collection of five islands that were uninhabited until the eighteenth century and is now known as the African country of Seychelles. This beautiful al -Jazir assembly with intact beaches, intimate people and aromatic spices that taste new to sea fish in most restaurants fascinate tourists. (Islands)

The island of Moyenne, located in the Seychelles Algerian Assembly, is known as the world’s smallest national park, which we introduce in this article.

The Seychelles Assembly is about 2.5 kilometers away from Kenya. Although Seychelles does not have Kenya’s world fame as the best destination, it offers unique opportunities to watch wildlife. Seychelles is one of the only two habitats in the world in which the giant turtles live; Another habitat is the Galápagos Islands in Ecuador. Aldabra giant turtle is freely seen on several islands of the country; But one of the best places to see is the island of Maine, the world’s smallest national park, and one of the sights of Seychelles.

In the past, Maine was a private island whose ownership was hand -held until it was owned by Brendon Grimshaw in the 1980s; He was a British and adventurous editor who was looking for a new start. Grimsha spent the rest of his life revived the island and deserted 2.5 square meters; He brought new trees and turtles there to live in peace. Grimsha bought the land of Maine for $ 4.9,000 and later offers more than $ 5 million to sell it; But it refused. Instead, Grimsha left the island to the local government; Provided the government turns it into a national park and prevents construction and large residences.

Maine Island Like many other Seychl islands, do not have a dock; Therefore, travelers have to reach the island with small boats, enter the turquoise waters directly and walk to the beach. Passengers of small cruise ships also have to board wind boats and go the same way.

As Maine arrives, the sound of live music is heard from the island’s only café that serves delicious local cuisine and cool drinks. However, experienced people spend drinks for the end of the trip and first go to the small museum of the island, which tells the history of Maine. On the island, there are also turtle breeding centers where turtles grow to grow enough and be able to travel freely to the island.

The most important activity in Maine is the hiking, which takes about an hour to pass through the beaches with white sands and granite cliffs. Along the way, deserted historic buildings and four tombs. These tombs belong to Grimsha, his father, and two anonymous people who are thought to have been a thief and have come to the island for treasure.

As the hiking route on Maine Island, there were several spectacular platforms that had a stunning view of the Indian Ocean’s bright blue waters. Perhaps the most amazing of these points is “Clameshell Rock”; The natural gap you can stand and stare at the horizon. Along the way, you will probably see several turtles who, with calm and self -esteem, as if they are the king’s kingdom, walk or rest.
