Our Seychelles team has snorkelled in the Seychelles on numerous occasions and seen literally hundreds of fish and a large number of turtles.

Day 4Praslin

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.

Day 5Praslin

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.

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.
