Day 1London
This afternoon you will fly from London to Mahe via Dubai.
Day 2Dubai - Mahe - Praslin
On arrival you will transfer to your Air Seychelles flight over to Praslin. You will be met and taken to your hotel for four nights. The Paradise Sun is located above an idyllic sandy beach and has a lovely large swimming pool. You can spend the afternoon relaxing after your long flight.
You can choose between many activities on Praslin. The hotel will help you arrange snorkelling trips to nearby reefs. Whilst the coral is bleached on the Seychelles the fish life is superb. Our Seychelles team has snorkelled in the Seychelles on numerous occasions and seen literally hundreds of fish and a large number of turtles.
During your stay at Paradise Sun you might like to hire a car and zip about the island (its very small so this usually takes a day or maximum two). You can explore the tropical rain forest, or head up to Anse Lazio to have a superb lunch at the Bonbon Plume restaurant (excellent seafood). Or, you might just like to find a beach and snooze under a palm tree.
A further suggestion for your time at on Praslin is to take a snorkel trip to Cocos Island. The snorkelling here is excellent. Do put on a lot of sun-cream however as the sun can be extremely strong in the Seychelles.
You will be collected from your hotel and taken to the small Bai St Anne jetty to catch the ferry over to La Digue. On arrival you will be met and guided to one of the few taxis on the island and transferred with you luggage to Fleur de Lys for the next four nights.
Today you might like to hire a bike from one of the locals down the road for your stay as this will be the main means of transport, or walking, it is fantastic fun and a wonderful way to explore the island.
On your bicycle you can take a trip to Anse Source D'Argent, one of the most beautiful beaches on the Seychelles and totally unspoilt. Or, you could go and see the giant tortoises, eat out at one of the tiny restaurants or head to Anse Patates - a beach with some good snorkelling.
Visit some of the many beautiful beaches here; there are some real gems you can find which are really quiet by cycling around. The bikes have baskets so you can easily store your snorkelling gear, as there are some wonderful spots for some excellent snorkelling.
You may want to visit the green hillside area, where you may be able to spot the rare black paradise flycatcher, this is one of the areas where this rare bird still remains. Whilst here admire wild orchids growing on palm tree trunks and enjoy the peace and quiet.
Today you will be taken back to the jetty for the ferry ride over to Praslin. Here you`ll be met and driven to the small airport to catch your flight to Mahe.
This evening you will catch your overnight flight home, stopping in Dubai en route.
