Veuve Special Reserve

The Veuve Special Reserve on La Digue protects the veuve (Terpsiphone corvina), the Seychelles black flycatcher found on La Digue. It is managed by the Seychelles Parks and Gardens Authority and has had an information centre since 1993. It is a short bike ride inland from the jetty at La Passe.

The parks authority lists opening hours of 08:00 to 16:00 Monday to Friday and 09:00 to 15:00 on Saturday. Entry is Rs150 unguided or Rs200 with a guide, for non-residents over 12; residents and children under 12 enter free. Payment on site is by card only, and tickets can be bought online. A guide improves your chances of seeing the birds. Go early in the morning, when it is cooler and the birds are active.
