Morning light slices across the lagoon as the speedboat slips away from Praslin’s jetty, spray cooling your face and the silhouette of granite islets growing larger ahead.
First stop: Île Cocos, a low, white-sand knob ringed with clear water where coral gardens fan out in shallow curtains. The current here plays with your fins; green and hawksbill turtles often glide below, and schools of reef fish create bright, moving mosaics over live coral.
An easy hop takes you to Félicité, a more rugged granite island with a small fringe of beach and a forested interior that rises from the shore. These islands are part of the Seychelles’ ancient granite chain — continental rock left stranded as sea levels shifted — and they sit within protected marine zones that reflect a long local tradition of small-scale fishing and island stewardship.
Expect short guided snorkels, time on sand, and walk-and-look moments along rocky heads where seabirds hunt. Guides will brief on reef etiquette and point out species and local place names influenced by Creole and colonial histories.
Practical notes: departures typically start at 9:00 and return around noon; total time aboard is about three hours. Wear reef-safe sunscreen, a snug mask, and water shoes for rocky landings. Hydrate before boarding and secure loose items — boat wakes can be lively. If you have back, heart, or pregnancy restrictions, this easy excursion is still best discussed with your provider; the trip is low-impact but involves boarding ladders and short swims.
This is a compact, accessible taste of Seychelles island life: bright water, close reefs, and granite outcrops that invite exploration.
easy.
3 hours.
Suitable for people in average physical condition who can climb a boat ladder and swim short distances.
The half‑day tour usually departs around 9:00 AM and returns to Praslin by about 12:00–12:30 PM, with roughly three hours total including island stops.
Yes — both Coco and Félicité offer shallow snorkeling over coral; turtles are commonly sighted but wildlife cannot be guaranteed.
Children can join but must be supervised; non‑swimmers can still enjoy shallow snorkeling with a life jacket — inform the operator at booking for appropriate safety gear.
Soft drinks and water are included, but bringing a personal water bottle and light snack is recommended for comfort.
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.
Both islands sit within protected marine zones—avoid touching coral, take all trash back to Praslin, and follow guide instructions to minimize reef impact.
Loyalty Charter operates guided outdoor trips and adventures with an emphasis on safety, stewardship, and memorable experiences.
