You step off the launch at Praslin as the harbor light skips across the sea; the captain thumbs the throttle and the archipelago unfolds — low granite ridges, fringing reef, and the pale bands of beach that made these shores famous.
La Digue arrives first: four hours of bicycle lanes hemmed by pandanus and casuarina, and the show-stopping Anse Source d'Argent — shallow, warm water threaded between rounded granite boulders. Geology here is ancient: these are true granite islands, remnants of continental crust rather than coral atolls, their rocks polished by wind and tide for millions of years.
Curieuse follows with mangroves and the slow, deliberate gait of Aldabra giant tortoises. The island’s 19th‑century history includes a leper settlement; today it’s a protected national park where conservation shapes visitor routes. Midday brings a seaside BBQ — grilled fish and Creole flavors served simply on the sand.
The day closes with an hour at St. Pierre, a tiny granite outcrop ringed by clear water that begs snorkeling; coral bommies host parrotfish, angelfish, and curious rays. Expect easy terrain, plenty of sun, short ferry hops, and salt on your skin.
Practical guide: this is an eight‑hour boat tour starting from Praslin; bring reef‑safe sunscreen, a waterproof bag, swim shoes for rocky shore entries, and a lightweight wind layer for the crossing. Snorkel kit is provided but pack a mask that fits if you’re picky. The itinerary is relaxed but timing is tight between stops — arrive on Praslin prepared to board. With modest effort you get beaches, wildlife, and reef in one day — a compact introduction to the Inner Islands’ raw, tactile beauty.
easy.
8 hours.
Suitable for most fitness levels; involves short bike rides on La Digue, walking on sand, and brief swim/snorkel sessions.
The tour begins on Praslin Island (typically at the main jetty in Baie Sainte Anne); pickup is not included so plan your arrival accordingly.
Yes — snorkel gear is provided onboard, but many guests bring their own mask for fit and comfort.
A BBQ lunch on Curieuse and bottled water/soft drinks are included; bringing extra cash for snacks or souvenirs is recommended.
The itinerary is family‑friendly, but non‑swimmers should use life jackets during snorkeling and children require supervision; infants must sit on an adult’s lap onboard.
Curieuse served as a 19th‑century leper colony and today is conserved as a national park managing both cultural remains and biodiversity.
The islands are part of protected marine and island reserves; visitors should use reef‑safe products, avoid disturbing tortoises, and stick to marked paths to minimize impact.
