MAHE PRASLIN LA DIGUE SILHOUETTE MOYENNE ARIDE
CERF FELICITE COUSIN CURIEUSE ST PIERRE COCOS
PraslinHome to Paradise Sun and famous for the UNESCO World Heritage Site Vallée de Mai Nature Reserve. Beautiful beaches, a friendly population of 8,000 and the famous coco de mer. |
La DigueJust under 3000 Diguois people live on the Seychelles’ fourth largest island. The island is small enough to explore, but big enough for a very interesting for a day trip. Plenty of great snorkeling spots surround the island as well as beautiful beaches. Instead of cars, locals get around on bicycles and ox-carts which makes this island characterful and charming. |
FeliciteOne of La Digue’s pretty neighbours, this small island features plenty of famous granite boulders that Seychelles are famous for as well as a densely forested interior and soft white beaches. This private island is only explorable to residents, but exceptional snorkeling can be enjoyed by day trippers without needing to land. |
CurieuseRed soil, white sandy beaches and mangrove swamp give the island a unique colour palette. What was once a leper colony is now a day visitor must-visit with snorkeling opportunities to see the impressive humphead parrotfish and get to know some of the 300 Aldabra giant tortoises on land. |
St PierreVery easy to get to from Paradise Sun and a must for snorkeling. Bring an underwater camera for this one, as the island and its neighbours look fantastic above and below the waterline. |
Cocos IslandsThese little islets are not far from La Digue and are a snorkeling and divers dream. Diving here is like swimming in an aquarium, with great visibility and amazing variety. The islands are very small and there isn’t much on them, but the water around is where the real attraction lies. |
