Day 3 - 6: Praslin

Praslin Island is the second largest of the Seychelles’ islands and boasts a tranquil, laidback atmosphere. Stretching for almost 40 square kilometres, the island is full of lush and tropical jungle, fringed by sugary beaches and lapped by turquoise waters. Rumoured to have been a pirate hideout in the 1700s, today it is a popular island for visitors, thanks to the friendly locals, pretty beaches and ancient palm groves.   

During your time here, we've included a couple of tours - firstly a cruise, sailing around Praslin’s satellite islands, exploring Cousin, Curieuse, and St. Pierre. Spend the day taking guided walks through two nature reserves, where you’ll spot turtle nests, rare endemic birds and meet the iconic giant tortoises of Curieuse. Play with your family on the beach before enjoying a delicious lunch aboard the catamaran. Finish the day at St. Pierre where you'll snorkel amongst a kaleidoscope of tropical fish. A perfect experience for nature lovers and families wanting to experience Seychelles incredible marine life. 

On another day, we've included a trip to the neighbouring island of La Digue. You'll be driven to the ferry terminal and hop on the short boat ride across, before being given a bicycle and some suggestions for where to explore. The rest of the day is at your leisure - you should spend your time here wandering along beaches, meeting locals and tasting their creole street food or diving into the ocean to snorkel amongst the colourful fishes. The air is sweet with vanilla as you cycle through around the island - our favourite beach to discover is Anse Source d’Argent. This boulder-strewn beach is breathtakingly lovely – the perfect spot for a late afternoon drink on the sand, watching the sunset into the water.

In Mahe, you’ll be staying at the Constance Ephelia. Nestled in a little bay on the northwest coast of the island, this hotel is a wonderful place to finish your holiday. Relax in the lush landscapes, snorkel in the Port Launay National Park and soak in the ocean views from the infinity pool. Dine at the Adam & Eve restaurant which specialises in Malaysian and Indonesian cuisine or sip a cold glass of wine at the Helios Bar overlooking the pool.

Days 8 - 10: Mahe

You’ll have 4 full days to explore the beautiful island of Mahé, where soft beaches sit alongside lush jungle and coconut palms sway in the breeze. There is even more beauty below the water – colourful reefs filled with clouds of pink and yellow fish, where manta rays glide slowly past.

Why not head out to hike along the lush trails of Morne National Park. There are so many spectacular walks here. The forests are full of jackfruit trees and fluttering sunbirds, as well as the world’s smallest frog – though they might be too small to find, you’re sure to hear their loud chirruping calls.

On one of your days in Mahe we've included an exciting cruise, discovering pirate graves, giant tortoises and colourful reefs. Snorkel in St Anne Marine Park, where you’ll swim with shimmering fish, look for turtles and even head out in the semi-submersible to explore further. Tuck into a tasty Creole lunch on the catamaran before heading to Moyenne Island, where you’ll spot giant tortoises amongst the trees. Hike along the nature trails or simply relax on the beach for the rest of the day.
