Arrive in Mahe, the largest island within the Seychelles Archipelago, and get a sense of the laidback charm as soon as you step out of the airport. Home to the Seychelles capital Victoria, Mahe is most built up of the islands and is the most populated and yet it's onl...
We spend this morning exploring Mahe's capital, Victoria, on foot. Whilst it may be more of a capital town than a capital city, Victoria is definitely worth a visit. Independence Avenue, the modern shopping area, is as charming and full of life as the old colonial qua...
Mahe is the Seychelles largest island and is the political and economic centre. Some 27km long and 8km wide, it has beautiful beaches with powder white sand, graceful palms and clear turquoise waters. The incredible diversity of the islands' scenery and vegetation is ...
An optional full day boat trip is available today for those who want to take to the water and explore other islands and the wonderful marine life. The boat is glass bottomed and sails from Victoria to the St Anne Marine National Park, a cluster of islands off the nort...
This morning we leave Mahe and take the one hour crossing to Baie Saint Anne, Praslin, the second largest island in the Seychelles archipelago. Keep a look out for dolphins on the journey as they are regularly spotted in these waters. Praslin is home to one of the Sey...
Praslin is an ideal place from which to take a boat trip and explore other islands in this vast archipelago. Departing after breakfast we take a full day boat trip which visits the island of Curieuse and anchors at the snorkelling spot, St Pierre. Disembarking at Curi...
Just a few yards from our hotel we catch the public bus this morning to the start of our walk. After disembarking we descend slowly along pathways, taking our time as we stop to look at the endemic fauna , listen out for birdlife and take in the stunning panoramic vi...
We depart Praslin and take a short fifteen minute ferry journey to laid back La Digue. This island is the smallest of the three on our itinerary and is the epitome of idyllic isolation. It has a real traditional charm about it with plantation houses and dusty roads. ...
After breakfast we will take a walking tour to L'Union Estate, a working coconut plantation. We will be taken through the whole process from the coconut dropping from the tree to producing coconut milk and oil. The plantation sits in a lovely garden setting and the bu...
Today we explore three of the most stunning beaches found on the island. These are off the beaten track and so we will enjoy these shores almost to ourselves. The start of the walk takes us past La Digue Vev Reserve. This is home to the paradise flycatcher, a bird end...
This morning after breakfast we take a ferry from La Digue to Mahe. We take the early ferry from La Digue to Mahe, via Praslin, however, the ferries are subject to delay. Therefore, the official end of the trip is 11.30am in Mahe. If you're arranging your own ...

A very good trip. The Seychelles has a bit of a reputation as a 'lie on the beach' type of destination for honeymoons, etc., but there is much more to it than that....
