Description
An ideal trip to relax on spectacular beaches while being able to do fun activities. We will visit the two main islands of Seychelles: Mahé, the largest and where we can breathe the colonial and Creole atmosphere of its capital Victoria, besides getting lost in idyllic beaches; and Praslin, famous for its paradisiacal beauty, its corals and forests of Coco de Mer. From Praslin you can also visit during the day the small island of La Digue where Anse Source d’Argent, the most photographed beach in the world, is located. . Read more
Idyllic landscapes of white sands and turquoise waters are combined with lush tropical forests, splendid seabed where you can swim with turtles and countless colorful fish. It is even possible, for the more adventurous, to go on excursions on your own in a rental car and discover its most attractive corners at your own pace. All this and more, in the Seychelles!

Day 6 – Mahé – Praslin
Breakfast and at the agreed time, transfer to the airport to take the light aircraft flight that will take us to the island of Praslin. The flight itself is an experience that allows us to appreciate the beauty of the archipelago from a bird’s eye view. Upon arrival, transfer to the hotel and rest of the day at leisure on this spectacular island.
Lodging and half board.
Days 7 to 8 – Praslin
Breakfast. Free days to enjoy the beautiful beaches of the island and make various excursions. We recommend visiting the Vallée de Mai Natural Reserve, a UNESCO Natural Heritage Site, which is home to a very well preserved palm forest with endemic species as curious as the “Coco de Mer”. For those who dare, it is very interesting to rent a car to access the most remote places of the island and make a complete tour of beaches.
A must is the day trip to the small island of La Digue, where there are almost no cars and the bicycle is the means of transportation. La Digue is home to the most photographed beach in the world: Anse Source d’Argent, a former plantation that is home to giant tortoises like the Galapagos and beautiful beaches of different colors and sizes. The rural and peaceful atmosphere of La Digue only adds to its charm.
Lodging and half board
Day 9 – Praslin – Mahé – Spain
Breakfast. Transfer to the airport to take the flight back to Mahé and later connection with the international flight back to Spain. Overnight on board.
