Seychelles: Vallee de Mai, Curieuse Island & the Shores of Anse Lazio

8 Days From R73,999 per person sharing

Discover a side of the Seychelles that goes far beyond relaxing on the beach. This eight-day small-group adventure takes you across Mahé, Praslin and La Digue, bringing together beautiful coastlines, tropical forests, wildlife and plenty of time on the water. Your journey begins on Mahé before island-hopping to Praslin and La Digue. Along the way, you can visit giant tortoises, explore the UNESCO-listed Vallée de Mai, swim and snorkel around St Pierre and Curieuse Islands, and paddle a glass-bottom kayak past the famous granite boulders of Anse Source d’Argent.

Itinerary:

Day 1: Welcome to Mahé

Arrive in the Seychelles and settle into the relaxed rhythm of island life on Mahé. Meet your fellow travellers and CEO before enjoying a welcome dinner together. It’s an easy start to your adventure and a chance to look forward to the experiences ahead.

Day 2: Discover Mahé

Choose how you want to explore Mahé with a choice of two memorable experiences. Hike the Copolia Trail for beautiful views across the island or visit Cap Lazare to meet the Seychelles’ famous giant tortoises. Afterwards, enjoy more time soaking up the tropical surroundings.

Day 3: Mahé to Praslin

Leave Mahé behind and travel by ferry to the beautiful island of Praslin. After settling in, head to Anse Lazio, where clear waters, soft sand and granite rocks create a picture-perfect Seychelles setting. Spend time swimming, relaxing and enjoying one of the island’s most celebrated beaches.

Day 4: St Pierre and Curieuse Islands

Take to the water for a full-day catamaran adventure around Praslin’s neighbouring islands. Snorkel in the clear waters around St Pierre Island before visiting Curieuse Island, home to free-roaming giant tortoises. Enjoy lunch during the trip and spend the day surrounded by spectacular coastal scenery.

Day 5: Vallée de Mai and La Digue

Step into the lush surroundings of the UNESCO-listed Vallée de Mai Nature Reserve, famous for its unique Coco de Mer palms. Explore this remarkable forest before travelling by ferry to laid-back La Digue. Settle into island life with bicycles available to help you explore at your own pace.

Day 6: Anse Source d’Argent

Experience one of the Seychelles’ most famous coastlines from the water on a glass-bottom kayaking adventure. Paddle around Anse Source d’Argent, passing its striking granite boulders while looking into the clear waters below. There’s also time to enjoy more of La Digue and its wonderfully relaxed atmosphere.

Day 7: Return to Mahé

Say goodbye to La Digue and take the ferry back to Mahé for the final part of your Seychelles adventure. Enjoy some free time to relax, explore or pick up a few last-minute souvenirs. In the evening, come together for a farewell dinner and reflect on your island-hopping journey.
