Mahe: is the largest of the inhabited Seychelles islands and the home of the nation’s capital city, Victoria. From Praslin and La Digue, it’s possible to take the boat over to Mahe and enjoy a day spent on the island’s wonderful beaches or checking out some of the sights of the cities. Praslin: the second largest Seychelles island and the destination to visit if nature is high on your agenda. Bird-watching opportunities are abundant, especially in the Valee de Mai Nature Preserve, an area also famous for its vanilla and coco de mer orchids. Praslin can be visited easily from Mahe and La Digue by boat. Yacht trip: it’s possible to take yacht trips from Victoria on Mahe to Praslin and La Digue as well as a variety of smaller islands where natural attractions are the chief appeal. Trips are normally inclusive of lunch and drinks; however visitors are obliged to pay landing fees on the major islands. Scuba diving: local tour operators on all of the main islands offer scuba diving trips allowing both complete novices and accomplished divers to experience the wonders of the clear ocean waters off the coastlines. PADI training in hotel swimming pools is available for beginners prior to properly supervised open water dives. |
