Itinerary

This is a sample itinerary. Our Destination Specialists will work with you to create an itinerary to meet your preferences.

Days 1-3Arrive Mahe, Seychelles. Transfer to La Digue | Meals: B D

Arrive into Mahe and hop on a short flight to Praslin. On arrival you are met and transferred to the jetty for a quick ferry ride to the idyllic island of La Digue.

Enjoy three days at your leisure to enjoy the amenities of your accommodations or do as the locals do and hire a bicycle to get around the island, which has an aura of charm and tranquility. The island’s wide deserted beaches are perfect for long walks, swimming, snorkeling and fishing. The island is protected by the coral reefs, which circle it, together with massive granite rocks, which seem to have exploded around the coastline. Bikes and ox carts are the primary means of transportation, which can take the visitor past old plantation houses, a vanilla plantation, a copra factory and, of course, the incomparable beaches (star of Bacardi ads, swimsuit fashion shoots and countless honeymoon snapshots). Overnight on La Digue

Days 4-6Travel to Praslin | Meals: B D

Morning ferry to Praslin, famous for the Coco de Mer, Vanilla Orchids, endemic lizards, and the black parrot. Praslin is the second largest island in the Seychelles and more than warrants exploration. Visiting the Vallée de Mai, a unique botanical paradise where the famous Coco de Mer palm tree grows, is simply a must. Anse Lazio, which is probably one of the prettiest bays, boasting crystal clear waters, should not be missed. The island’s attractions can be easily accessed by car or on optional tours arranged through the hotel’s concierge. Overnight on Praslin

Days 7-9Mahe Island | Meals: B D

Today you can opt for a scenic ferry or a short flight to Mahe. On arrival you are transferred to the beach resort of your choice.

In many ways Mahe is the most spectacular island – its huge mountains and lush tropical vegetation provide an inspiring sight. Mahe has lots of nature walks and trails amongst the Morne Seychellois National Park. Optional excursions include Mahe’s markets, the 100 year old Botanical Gardens (with giant land tortoises, coco-de-mer and orchids), the capital, Victoria, with its famous clock tower, the National Museum dedicated to island history, folklore and music, and graceful colonial mansions and old plantations. Overnight on Mahe
