Reef Safari Full day


Start your journey with a gentle cruise past the reclaimed island of Hodoul, home to large numbers of herons and cattle egrets. Then motor out into the marine park where you will board our semi-submersible to keep your feet dry while exploring the teeming reefs.
Climb back up on deck where you can reach out to hand the fish their breakfast before diving in for your own sub-marine adventure. We provide lightweight snorkelling vests and snorkelling equipment to allow you to get up close to the fascinating underwater world.
Enjoy a mouth-watering buffet, prepared in the traditional Seychellois style and savoured outdoors, while relaxing in the sun. Our multitalented crew will enliven the lunch with some traditional Creole rhythms. After lunch there is always time for a relaxing swim or perhaps nothing more strenuous than a lazy afternoon snooze.
Then join us on the scenic route back to Port Victoria, with a leisurely cruise around the islands of the marine park.
 
Praslin - La Digue Full day


La Digue is still steeped in the tranquil atmosphere of days gone by, which is yours to savour as you travel along the island’s meandering pathways by ox cart, admiring the picturesque harbour, fine examples of old Creole architecture and the restored copra mill at L’Union Estate.
La Digue’s Anse Source d’Argent is one of the world’s most famous beaches, renowned for its spectacular granite formations standing since the dawn of time, the jealous sentinels of a perfect beach.
La Diue’s island neighbour, Praslin is home to the legendary Coco-de-Mer which grows in an ancient valley of towering palms, once believed to be the original site of the Garden of Eden and home to the rare Seychelles black parrot. Then on to Anse Lazio, one of Seychelles’ most magnificent beaches. During your Praslin adventure we’ll make time for you to enjoy a delicious Creole buffet lunch of freshly grilled fish, piquant curries simmering in coconut milk and succulent fresh fruits


Peaks of Paradise - Seasonal

After boarding by dingy from the pristine beach, the day’s excursion continues with a cruise to Bay Ternay Marine Park, stopping at undisturbed snorkelling sites, where guests not wishing to swim can spend time feeding the fish or sunbathing on the spacious deck.
