Praslin Island SEYCHELLES

-

Leave Port Louis and spend a couple of days at sea as you wend your way to the paradise that is Praslin Island. Once a pirate hideaway, it’s now famed for its long stretches of idyllic white sandy beaches and deep blue waters – home to ancient coral reefs that are a popular dive spot for scuba enthusiast­s. Head inland and you’ll discover the spectacula­r palm forest of Vallée de Mai and a plethora of rare birds. Or, join a Robinson Crusoe Adventure tour in search of huge coco de mer nuts and Aldabra giant land tortoises. From Praslin, sail on to Mahé and one of the world’s smallest capitals, Victoria, where you could head to Morne Blanc to take in panoramic views of the island, or explore the harbour area. Discover the beautiful, uninhabite­d island of Moyenne on a memorable catamaran cruise from Victoria, and as you leave the Seychelles to head east, witness the spectacula­r sight of Silhouette Island and its majestic mountainou­s landscape set against the blazing sky at sunset.
