Praslin, Seychelles

May 8, 2025 – May 8, 2025

An idyllic tropical island, Praslin is ringed with secluded beaches like magnificent Anse Lazio. Don’t miss Vallée de Mai, a virgin palm forest so extraordinary it’s a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The forest supports extremely rare flora and fauna, including the black parrot and exotic coco de mer, the world’s largest nut.

Experience the Old World beauty and charm of the Seychelles during an orientation tour of picturesque La Digue. Depart the Praslin jetty via local ferry for the crossing to La Digue, one of the Seychelles’ prettiest islands. Upon arrival, enjoy a scenic drive to L’Union Estate, where you’ll gain insight into La Digue’s history at the estate’s old Creole house and coconut factory, and delight in daily life characterized by a decidedly relaxed pace punctuated by the occasional rumble of a passing oxcart. Continue to La Digue’s beaches, considered to be among the world’s finest, including nearby Anse Source D’Argent, which has been called a bather’s and photographer’s dream. You’ll thrill to the soft white sands and dramatic granite boulders that have long enchanted visitors to the island. Keep a sharp lookout for the resident avian wonders, as you might catch sight of a Seychelles paradise flycatcher, a rare bird endemic to these islands that sports glossy black plumage with elongated tail feathers. Prepare to be entranced by the allure of captivating La Digue on this illuminating excursion.
