Praslin & La Digue Islands

UNESCO-Listed Palm Forest, History and a Famous Beach Discover an ancient palm forest, historic plantation and the Seychelles’ most beautiful and well-known beach. Board a boat for a scenic cruise to Praslin Island to visit the Vallée de Mai, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. An ancient palm forest that has remained largely unchanged since prehistoric times, it is home to many rare species of flora and fauna—some not found anywhere else on Earth—including the world’s largest collection of Coco de Mer palm trees. Afterward, cruise to La Digue Island for a lunch of Creole cuisine en route to a coconut plantation in L’Union Estate Park. Here, explore a historic house and vanilla fields where giant tortoises roam, then transfer to Anse Source D’Argent, one of the country’s most picturesque beaches. Enjoy free time to unwind on the pristine white sand, as the clear turquoise waters lap the shoreline, before returning to your ship. * Demanding - Physically challenging activities, including extensive walks, hiking, riding, water sports, and high altitude activities.
