Mahe — Praslin — La Digue (summer)
A summer route through the three main islands of the Seychelles archipelago: Mahe, Praslin, and La Digue. The program combines diving in marine reserves with exploring the islands’ unique nature — from coral reefs to giant tortoises and endemic forests.
The route starts from Victoria port on Mahe and passes through Ternay Bay Marine Park, Sainte Anne Reserve, Curieuse Island with mangrove forests and giant Aldabra tortoises, Saint Pierre, and the famous Anse Lazio beach. Beyond diving, the program includes snorkeling, kayaking, and a visit to the Vallee de Mai nature reserve — a UNESCO site with unique coco de mer palms.
