Seychelles: Mahé, Praslin and La Digue

Arrive at Seychelles International Airport, clear your entry formalities, collect your bags, and meet your local driver. Take a scenic drive to your pre-booked beach accommodation. In the late afternoon, head to Blue Lagoon Beach to unwind along the water, stroll the soft sands under swaying palms, and take in the sunset. You have the option to dine at a beachside restaurant serving seafood and Creole cuisine before returning to your hotel.

Have breakfast at your hotel before setting out toward the secluded shores of Anse Major. You can travel either by boat along the scenic Mahé coastline past granite cliffs, or on foot via the Anse Major Trail, a moderate 1.5 to 2 hour hike through lush forest and granite outcrops. Spend your afternoon swimming in clear waters, sunbathing on white sand, or enjoying a pre-arranged picnic. Return by boat or trail to your hotel for a relaxing evening.

Start with breakfast before traveling to Anse Lazare Beach on the southwestern coast of Mahé. Spend your morning walking along the pristine shoreline backed by granite boulders and green hills, or go for a swim. Next, take a short drive to the Takamaka Rum Distillery at La Plaine St. André estate. Take a guided tour through the historic plantation, learn about sugarcane fermentation and barrel aging, and sample various blends. Return to your hotel for an evening at leisure.

After breakfast, check out and take the scenic one-hour cruise ferry from Mahé across the Indian Ocean to Praslin Island. Upon arrival, transfer to your hotel near Cote D'Or Beach and check in. After settling in, you have the option to visit Lazio Beach, walking through tropical forest and granite formations to swim and relax in the shade of palm trees. Head back to Cote D'Or Beach for a quiet evening by the waves.

Enjoy breakfast, then join a guided boat excursion off the coast to Curieuse Island. Walk among giant Aldabra tortoises at the island sanctuary, follow a wooden boardwalk through coastal mangroves, and see native birds and crabs along undisturbed beaches. Savor a freshly prepared beach BBQ lunch of grilled fish, meats, and Creole dishes. In the afternoon, cruise to the granite islet of St. Pierre to snorkel along vibrant coral reefs before taking the boat back to Praslin.

Have breakfast at your Praslin hotel, check out, and board a 20-minute cruise ferry to La Digue Island. Upon arrival at this tranquil island where motor vehicles are limited, transfer to your beachside property by bicycle or electric buggy. Settle in and spend a restful afternoon lounging on your private beach, unwinding in a hammock, or wading into the gentle ocean waves. In the evening, dine at your resort or try a nearby island cafe.

Begin your day with breakfast, collect your bicycle, and pedal out onto La Digue's quiet, palm-shaded roads. Cycle to Anse Source d'Argent to see famous granite boulders, visit Grand Anse, or continue toward Anse Cocos or Anse Severe. You can stop at viewpoints such as Belle Vue or Nid d'Aigle, and optionally tour L'Union Estate to see its vanilla plantation, traditional architecture, and copra mill. Take a break at a seaside cafe for Creole lunch before returning to your resort.

Enjoy breakfast before boarding a scenic water plane flight from La Digue back to Mahé. Take in aerial views of coral reefs, granite peaks, and turquoise waters during your flight. On arrival in Mahé, meet your representative and transfer directly to Seychelles International Airport for your onward journey home.
