- Farquhar - these flats are alive!
Farquhar Atoll - one of the most remote Outer Islands of the Seychelles, located in the middle of the Indian Ocean, not far north of Madagascar. A vast geological past lies behind this elevation of volcanic rock, creating a unique habitat for both land and marine life. However, a long history of commercial fishing and ecological exploitation overshadowed the fate of this incredibly fragile ecosystem for a long time. Luckily, in recent years, local authorities have started to protect it by implementing sustainable use practices.
In 2016, a massive cyclone devastated the Island, its infrastructure, vegetation, and shallow reef areas, leaving it decimated. A long period of reconstruction paved the way for the first eco-tourists to return years later. Slowly, the ecosystem started to recover, the reefs continued to blossom and most endemic species returned, not lastly thanks to the implementation of strict fishing guidelines imposed on the guests visiting conservation measures, and scientific research.
When COVID shut down global travel, nobody was able to reach Farquhar Atoll for 13 months, nobody saw it, and nobody fished it. This film revolves around a small group of anglers, who were fortunate enough to visit the island for the first time in over a year. When they arrived, they found themselves in a healthy ecosystem, vibrant, and teeming with life. As though the absence of men had cleansed and healed the atoll. After a long road of recovery - Farquhar’s flats are alive!

Thank you very much!
If *atoll* ... what I mean to say is: *If at all* , the Indic`s *atolls* are even more splendid than those of Polynesia...and your video does justice to its subject matter in every single second of its runtime.
Congratulations and thank you for sharing this amazing video footage. 16 minutes of pure excitement, which make us travelling with you (and dreaming of doing a similar trip of a lifetime one day, hopefully). Really top notched video production. Keep up the great work and take care.
Thank you for your comment!
Incredible storytelling, great visuals, beats fatter than a valu-pack of cheap bacon. Doesn’t get much better, fellas!

The best ff movie, cinematic!! thumb up
Amazing 👌👌👌
Best fishing spot is Seychelles ❤🎣 lots of rare coral fish
Phenomenal cinematography guys, truly a joy to watch! And what a place to fish!
These kind of films produce mixed feelings for me. Cool location, great fish, and just another place for rich people to fish.
So drama, im from europe so mayby i wouldn't understan to have so sort and small net for gt on the boat, but beatufull nature, and great photos, thank a lot,
Truly doing God's work. Fishing is as much about catching fish as it is conservation.
Heaven on Earth
This film transported me into what I think heaven would have to look like should it exist.
#EPIC and on my list !
Keith, not surprisingly you are the best. How could one dive with the net to get the fish? You do of course. See ya
Great video. I'm not sure 360p is hi-def though.
will need to wait a little
It's available in 4K now
This is all AI generated right? No possible way a place this beautiful exists. My goodness, it’s gorgeous.
What brand flats boat is that?

Interested. Feel free to add me to your data base
Hello, I'm going there for my honeymoon, but we don't have much money. I have a question whether I would be able to catch anything there on my own (I mean larger fish). Do I need money for a boat, a guide, etc.? Can I, for example, rent a kayak and fish, or maybe go into the water a few meters from the shore and catch something? :) Can I ask for some tips on which island will be best for fishing (I have a fly rod and a spinning rod) Thank you for your answer and best regards.
