Description

Enjoy a full-day, island-hopping adventure and see the best of Praslin and La Digue!

We’ll collect you from your hotel for an early start, before making your way on Le Cerf to Praslin and the legendary Vallee de Mai. This prehistoric forest is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and was once believed to be the original site of the Garden of Eden. Here you will have the chance to see the iconic coco de mer and perhaps glimpse the rare black parrot. Next, visit the world-famous Anse Lazio, with its white sands and clear waters, where you can swim or relax on one of Seychelles’ best beaches.

Authentic Creole cuisine is served up for lunch aboard Le Cerf.

Experience the laid back atmosphere of island living on La Digue. Visit the historic L’ Union Estate for a unique glimpse into the early days of Seychelles’ history: discover a traditional Créole plantation home, an ox-powered copra mill and a traditional boatyard. From there you will be guided to Anse Source d’Argent – the most photographed beach in the world!
