The Round Island lies 22.5 kilometers north of Mauritius. This island features as an exclusive nature reserve. Spread over an area of approximately 1.69 kilometers it supports different endemic species of fauna including the Round Island skink, Round Island day gecko and Round Island Boa. The Serpent Island is one of the inaccessible and remote islets of Mauritius. This island is void of any kind of vegetation and is covered with a layer of guano, a type of volcanic ash. This makes it a favorite abode for nesting of sea birds. Most common seabird species spotted in this islet are the Sooty Tern, Brown Noddy and Lesser Noddy. Some of the islets have exotic beaches and other are of historical significance, while some others charm the visitors with their untouched natural beauty and the rich flora and fauna.Places of interest:%u2022 Botanical Garden of Pamplemousses: The gardens are known to naturalists throughout the world for their countless species of indigenous and exotic plants, including the giant Victoria Regia water lilies, and the talipot palm said to flower every sixty years and then die.
