package overview
Seychellen
5-Day Seychelles Escape — Praslin, La Digue & Curieuse Adventure
The most adventure-driven package in our Seychelles collection. Based in Praslin throughout, you explore a prehistoric Coco de Mer forest, the world's most photographed granite boulder beach on La Digue, and Curieuse Island — an uninhabited national park where giant Aldabra tortoises roam free alongside some of the best snorkelling reefs Praslin has to offer. Curieuse Island — Where Giant Tortoises Walk Alongside You Curieuse is a national park island with no residents and no hotel, where free-roaming Aldabra giant tortoises — one of only two surviving giant tortoise species, living up to 150 years and over 200kg — move unhurried across its beaches, mangroves and forest floor. St. Pierre Islet adds the underwater dimension: two snorkelling sites through coral reef teeming with parrotfish, triggerfish and reef sharks.
