Return to Eden – An Early 1970s Visit to Seychelles

Today, Seychelles is a tropical island retreat for the rich and famous, situated in the middle of the Indian ocean. But back in the early 1970s visit to Seychelles, this was not the case. This period travel film shows what the Islands were like nearly 50 years ago. Before they attained the posh tourist status that they are now famous for.

For aviation fans, sadly the only footage to savour is a terrific landing sequence of a BOAC Vickers VC-10 touching down at Mahe, near the Capital City of Victoria. This film is a beautiful capture of the amazing and unspoilt geography that the Seychelles offers her visitors and guests.

A wide array of wildlife, birds and fish makes the Seychelles the perfect destination for those interested in animals and nature. Whether it is an island adventure or sailing trip, or beach visit, the Seychelles offers something for everyone. The Seychelles’ pleasant and friendly people welcome affluent tourists mostly from Europe. This is a slow change as more tourists from points further abroad make the Seychelles their bucket-list destination. And this nearly 50 year old film shows us why the appeal of the remarkable Seychelles Islands continue to draw tourists seeking something off-the-beaten-track.
