Mahe, Praslin & La Digue

Get to know the real Seychelles by island-hopping between Mahe, Praslin and La Digue

Island-hopping in the Seychelles is a fabulous way to get a real sense of life in the Indian Ocean. Visit busy Mahé and wonderfully rustic Praslin before heading to La Digue, where village life exists at a slower pace. There are very few cars here, with bicycles the main mode of transport and traditional ox carts used to move both people and produce from one place to the next. The natural environment is very much a part of island life and it’s not hard to see why. Large, smooth ancient granite boulders rest on the water’s edge, partitioning secluded bays and it’s easy to feel off the beaten track as you hike back towards your resort in the island’s centre.

Days 1-4

Mahe

The Seychelles’ largest island, Mahé is also its busiest, with 90% of the country’s population residing here. The international airport can also be found here, making it a great place to start and finish your adventure. Beyond the picturesque beaches, there is plenty to do. In the spectacular mountains of Morne Seychelles National Park, towering peaks taper down to small hidden bays. A hike up Morne Blanc takes you past rare endemic plants, such as the Jellyfish Tree and the carnivorous Seychelles Pitcher Plant to the peak, where the view is nothing short of breathtaking.\n\nWhile the town of Victoria has its own unique colonial charm, there are also plenty of pretty little villages to explore and colourful local markets to wander around. Linked by winding roads, you can drive around the island in just two and a half hours, meaning that if the diving or snorkelling conditions are not quite as perfect as you’d like, you can easily venture along the coast to a calmer spot.

Private Anse Major Nature Trail
Seychelles

Some of the Seychelles best beaches aren’t accessible by road so you have to lace up your walking boots and hit the trails with a guide. Anse Major is a small put perfectly formed cove that’s washed by the turquoise Indian Ocean and backed by dense forests. After the hike down to the beach, enjoy some time taking in the views of Silhouette and North Islands, relaxing on the sand or heading in the water for a swim.

• Duration: half day
• Daily departures
• Operates year round from hotels in Mahe
• Private experience

Good to know
This walk is not suitable for children or guests with any mobility issues as you must walk across varying terrain.

Sunset Champagne on the Rocks
Seychelles

Experience romance Creole style, sipping Champagne on a rocky outcrop as the sun sets over the ocean. Late afternoon, you’ll be whisked off to the exclusive Cap Lazare nature reserve for a club car tour of the stunning natural environment. Explore nature trails, see endemic plants and make friends with the giant tortoises that roam freely around the reserve. As dusk approaches, we’ll take you up a secret path to a beautiful rocky outcrop overlooking the Indian Ocean. Sink into a sun lounger as you’re served a range of canapés, fresh coconut and Champagne, and watch a beautiful sunset over the ocean.

• Operates year round\

Good to know
This experience is not recommended for children or guests with walking difficulties. Flat shoes are advised.

Days 5-8

Praslin

The second largest island, Praslin offers a more laid-back, rustic atmosphere. If you’re looking for a balance between the bustle of Mahé and the sleepiness of La Digue, this is the perfect choice. For the more adventurous traveller, the Vallee de Mai Nature Reserve has an emerald-tinged slice of Eden and is one of only two places on earth that you can see the towering rare coco de mer palm in its natural environment. If you’re lucky, you may spot the elusive black parrot. If basking on beaches is what you’re after, the island is also home to some of the region’s most beautiful, including Anse Lazio. \n\nJust across the water to the north of the island, a trip over to the small protected Maritime National Park of Curieuse Island is a must. Here, the red colour of the soil contrasts strikingly against the lush green leaves of the coco de mer and over 300 giant Aldabra tortoises wander unhindered.

Vallee de Mai & Anse Lazio
Seychelles

A duo of natural wonders awaits on this full day tour of Praslin. First up is the UNESCO-listed Vallee de Mai, a stunning valley cloaked in a dense natural palm forest that has hardly changed for hundreds of thousands of years. The second half of the day will be spent at Anse Lazio, a jaw-dropping stretch of sand on the island’s north coast.

• Duration: full day
• Departs on Monday (and Thursday for guests staying in Praslin and La Digue)
• Operates year round from hotels in Mahe, La Digue or Praslin
• Group experience

Good to know

Days 9-12

La Digue

The pace of life is set to a definite relaxed amble on the small island paradise of La Digue. There are very few cars here, with bicycles the main mode of transport and traditional ox carts used to move both people and produce from one place to the next. Old colonial buildings give an insight into the island’s past, while secluded beaches have been beautifully preserved and protected from development. The natural environment is very much a part of island life and it’s not hard to see why. Large, smooth ancient granite boulders rest on the water’s edge, partitioning secluded bays and it’s easy to feel off the beaten track\nas you hike back towards your resort. Keep a look out as you walk and try to spot the Seychelles’ famed black paradise flycatcher, one of the rarest birds on earth.

Cycle La Digue
Seychelles

Travelling on two wheels is a great way to see La Digue. You’ll be able to explore the island at your own pace and experience a quieter, more authentic way of life and stop in at some of the main attractions as you explore. Highlights include the L’Union Estate, the resting place of early island settlers and the Instagram-famous Source D’Argent which is renowned for its blue seas, white sands and granite boulders.

• Duration: full day
• Daily departures from Praslin / Departs Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from Mahe
• Operates year round from hotels in Mahe or Praslin
• Private experience
