It includes the same guides, the same catch-and-release conservation ethos, and the same commitment to world-class saltwater fly fishing, now operating under a name that reflects an expanded footprint. Alphonse Island remains at the heart of the Seychelles offering, and the expertise that defined over a decade of guiding in the Indian Ocean now extends to Ascension Bay, Mexico.

Blue Safari Fly Fishing offers access to seven distinct destinations across the Seychelles Outer Islands: Alphonse, Cosmoledo Atoll, Astove Atoll, Farquhar Atoll, Providence Atoll, the Amirantes Islands and Platte Island.
