History
The granite islands are part of an ancient continental fragment; human presence on Praslin developed around Creole fishing and copra traditions tied to these shores.
Conservation
Both islands sit within protected marine zones—avoid touching coral, take all trash back to Praslin, and follow guide instructions to minimize reef impact.

Bring reef‑safe sunscreen
Use biodegradable sunscreen to protect coral during snorkeling; apply and absorb before entering the water.
Wear secure footwear
Light water shoes or sturdy sandals help for rocky landings and slippery rocks on Félicité.
Hydrate and snack beforehand
Pack a light snack and drink water—soft drinks and water may be provided but having your own ensures energy for snorkeling.
Protect valuables
Store cameras and phones in a dry bag and strap them; boat wakes and quick boardings can jostle loose items.
Snorkel set (mask, snorkel, fins)
A well‑fitting mask and fins make snorkeling more comfortable and let you see more of the reef.
Reef‑safe sunscreen
Protects skin and the marine environment from harmful chemicals.
