Disfruta de una experiencia suprema en la naturaleza de Seychelles en su máxima expresión en nuestra odisea oceánica de día completo que comienza desde el embarcadero de la bahía Ste Anne de Praslin, con una sesión de fotos en el pintoresco St. Pierre como primera parada, antes de tocar tierra en la bahía Laraie de Curieuse Island . Aquí el tour continuará con una visita a la población de tortugas de la isla, junto con una visita guiada a la isla. El viaje no estará completo sin una visita a la famosa casa del doctor, ahora un museo, y luego un poco de tiempo para un suntuoso almuerzo criollo con barbacoa a bordo del Oplezir mientras que se dirige a la impresionante isla Aride, ciudadela de aves marinas del Océano Índico. Ahí, habrá tiempo para la observación de aves y una sesión de fotos de vistas espectaculares de la isla antes de volver a casa.
Explore the wonders of Praslin, Seychelles’ second largest island. With a small population, life on Praslin is relaxed and the breath-taking scenery pristine. Let Mason's Travel guide you around the island and visit its two most famous attractions!
Visit the famous Vallée de Mai, a unique biosphere well deserving of its allocation as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Once believed to be the original site of the Garden of Eden, this magical place offers a forest of larger than life palms which play host to an array of rare and endemic species. Discover the Coco der Mer palm and its iconic seed, the largest on earth, as you take a leisurely guided tour through this awe-inspiring primeval forest.
Next, visit the world famous Anse Lazio. This pristine beach, with its white sands and clear waters, is fringed by lush vegetation and bordered by magnificent granite boulders. Here you can swim, snorkel or relax on the soft sands of one of Seychelles’ finest strands.
Introduced in 2011, the second high-speed catamaran - Isle of La Digue - now offers passengers a more direct service between the islands of Mahe and La Digue. Departing in the evening from Mahe's Victoria jetty, the Isle of La Digue follows the same route as its sister vessel - Isle of Praslin & Isle of Mahe - towards the island of Praslin, where after a short stop-over it continues the last leg of its journey, arriving on La Digue just in time for sunset. Early the next morning the same vessel departs the La Passe jetty and travels, via Praslin, back to Mahe.
With the exception of Fridays, passengers should however be aware that the ferry Mahe to La Digue is not a non-stop service. Including the Praslin stopover, total journey times are approximately 90 minutes, dependent on sea conditions, which makes the Isle of La Digue an ideal solution for passengers looking for a hassle-free service from Mahe to La Digue and vice versa. Just present your voucher to staff at the jetty and they will provide you with your Boarding Pass and assist you in checking-in your luggage.
The Isle of La Digue can carry up to 227 passengers and, just like its big sister, both Economy and Business classes available. Economy class passengers can choose to travel in the fully air-conditioned Coco de Mer Cabin on the main deck or outside on the Island Hopper Upper Deck. Business class passengers have their own dedicated cabin - Lazio Lounge - on the upper deck.
Déjenos transportarle a otro mundo: el de magníficas islas satélites de Praslin y de su belleza natural impresionante. Su día comienza a medida que sube el oleaje del mar en la isla La Digue, isla vecina de Praslin, desde donde se llevaremos a la Isla Sister, rodeada por las aguas color zafiro, donde un guía le dará a conocer algunos de los secretos de la isla. Después de proporcionarle el tiempo suficiente para nadar, bucear o simplemente relajarse en la playa, le llevaremos abordo del “Oplezir” para un almuerzo criollo estilo barbacoa mientras nos dirigimos a la impresionante Isla Coco o la espectacular Isla Felicité antes de regresar a casa.
Discover the natural splendour of this world famous attraction. Visit Praslin’s Vallée de Mai, a UNESCO World Heritage site and untouched biosphere like none other on Earth. Here giant palms rustle overhead as you meander through this ancient forest filled with many endemic species of palm and rare fauna, such as the Seychelles Black Parrot, the tiger chameleon and the diminutive Seychelles tree frog.
Vallée de Mai is also home to the Coco de Mer palm; the see is the largest nut in the world and has been treasured as a collectable and mystical aphrodisiac for centuries. Let our Guides unravel the secrets of this magical forest to you.
It was once believed - in the distant lands where these giant seeds would wash ashore - that the Coco de Mer originated from a sacred forest under the sea. Today, we know better, and Vallée de Mai – believed by some to be the original site of the Garden of Eden - is where these magnificent palms grow.

Become one with nature as only Seychelles can offer it, on this day of discovery and adventure commencing with a visit to the Ste Anne Marine Park, with its spectacular views of the surrounding islands. Our Reef Safari will introduce you to the myriad wonders of Seychelles’ underwater world by glass-bottom boat, your ‘eye in crystal waters’ and to the thrill of fish feeding before transporting you to one of the park’s island jewels: Cerf.
Cerf is the largest island of the Ste. Anne Group, named after the vessel of one of Seychelles’ early explorers and has a long tradition of settlement, first as a coconut plantation and now as a habitation for people escaping the ‘hustle and bustle’ of neighbouring Mahé. Here, we will tempt your palate with a traditional Creole lunch, allowing you time to explore the rare beauty of the island, swim in its crystal waters and relax on its silver-sanded beaches. This is a place where stunning, natural beauty and time-honoured island ways will conspire to provide you with the time of your life…and the memories to match.
