Why this journey

Spend six days moving through three of Seychelles’ most appealing islands, with time split between the energy of Mahé, the natural character of Praslin and the slower pace of La Digue. The journey begins with arrival in Mahé, where Victoria’s compact streets, market atmosphere and heritage landmarks give you an easy first look at island life before the day ends at Beau Vallon Beach.

The next leg takes you by ferry to Praslin, where the atmosphere changes to quieter coastlines and dense greenery. A guided visit to Vallée de Mai Nature Reserve introduces one of the islands’ most important natural sites, followed by free time at Anse Lazio, a beach known for calm water and dramatic scenery. The pace is unhurried, leaving enough room to enjoy the island without feeling rushed.

La Digue brings a different rhythm again, with bicycle travel through coconut and vanilla plantations, a stop at L’Union Estate and time at Anse Source d’Argent, where granite boulders and shallow turquoise water create one of Seychelles’ most recognisable shorelines. The final part of the holiday returns you to Mahé for a flexible day that can be kept simple or used for optional marine, hiking, cooking or spa experiences.

By the end of the trip, you will have covered the signature islands at a comfortable pace, with daily breakfast, inter-island transfers and guided excursions included. It is a good fit for couples, honeymooners and families who want a balanced Seychelles holiday with beach time, light exploration and a clear island-to-island route.
