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.
