Things to Do

Visit Anse Source d'Argent (La Digue)

A photogenic shallow bay framed by smooth granite boulders, pink sand at low tide, and calm shallow pools — ideal for strolls and photography.
One of the world’s most photographed beaches; easy to reach from La Digue village; excellent for low-key swimming and iconic photos.

Explore Vallée de Mai (Praslin)

A compact, primeval palm forest on Praslin dominated by coco de mer palms and home to the endemic Seychelles black parrot.
UNESCO World Heritage site with unique endemic flora and fauna; short trails let you see coco de mer and native wildlife in limited time. ([whc.unesco.org](https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/261?utm_source=openai))

Day trip to Curieuse Island (tortoise nursery and beaches)

Close encounters with Aldabra giant tortoises, easy nature trails, and a conservation-focused visit that pairs well with Praslin itineraries. ([spga.gov.sc](https://www.spga.gov.sc/parks/curieuse?utm_source=openai))

Snorkel or boat trip to Sainte Anne Marine National Park
