Don't miss the chance to visit islands other than Mahé in the Seychelles thanks to this guided day trip to Praslin and La Digue!

If you plan to stay only on Mahé during your stay in the Seychelles, this guided tour of Praslin and La Digue is an opportunity for you to discover the archipelago's 2 other main islands. With a shuttle pick-up from Mahé and ferry transfers to Praslin and La Digue, as well as visits to the must-see sites of the Seychelles, you won't have to worry about a thing on this day, which even includes lunch in a local restaurant!

Your excursion to Praslin and La Digue will first take you to the Vallée de Mai, a World Heritage Site where, if you are lucky, you can observe local animals such as the black parrot, Seychelles' national bird, as well as pose alongside the amazing cocos fesses, a must-see souvenir of your trip! You will then enjoy a relaxing swim on Cote d'Or Beach, one of Praslin's superb long white sandy beaches, before rejoining the jetty to head for La Digue.

After a short ferry ride, you will have lunch at a local restaurant before heading to L'Union Estate Farm, a former colonial coconut and vanilla plantation which you will visit with a guide. Once the tour is over, you will head to the beach of Anse Source d'Argent to finish your tour of Praslin and La Digue peacefully, including a swim in the turquoise waters of this magnificent cove before returning to Mahé.

Don't waste any time and book your guided excursion to Praslin and La Digue from Mahé without hesitation to take full advantage of the picture-postcard scenery of the Seychelles!
