Private Full-Day Tour in Praslin and La Digue
Two legendary Seychelles islands, one unforgettable private day.
This private Praslin and La Digue island tour delivers an eight-hour journey across two of the most celebrated islands in the Indian Ocean, combining powdery white beaches, ancient nature reserves, and giant tortoises into a single seamless day. Unlike group excursions, every moment of your itinerary moves at your pace.
Praslin greets you with the Valle de Mai Nature Reserve, a UNESCO World Heritage Site where the Coco de Mer palm produces the largest nut on Earth. The reserve shelters one of the last wild populations of the rare Black Parrot, making it a destination of genuine ecological significance.
La Digue follows with Anse Source d'Argent, a beach framed by towering granite boulders that has appeared on the covers of travel magazines and geography textbooks alike. A dedicated private chauffeur ensures you reach every landmark with time to explore rather than simply photograph and move on.
Tour Highlights
Swim and snorkel in the crystal-clear waters of some of the most photographed beaches in the world.
Explore the Valle de Mai Nature Reserve, home of the Coco de Mer, the largest seed in the plant kingdom.
Encounter Aldabra giant land tortoises up close on La Digue island.
Discover a traditional copra factory and learn about the islands' plantation heritage.
Enjoy a fully private experience with a dedicated chauffeur and no group schedule to follow.
Browse local souvenirs and purchase authentic Coco de Mer crafts directly from island vendors.
Itinerary
Your private chauffeur meets you at the Praslin Jetty as you arrive from Mahe. Introductions are made and the day's route is confirmed before departure into the island interior.
Walk through the ancient palm forest of the Valle de Mai, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. You may opt for an approximately 90-minute guided trek inside the reserve, with an entry fee payable on arrival.
Visit one of Praslin's celebrated white-sand beaches, widely regarded among the most photographed coastlines on the planet. Take time to swim in the clear lagoon or simply relax on the sand at your own pace.
Board a short ferry crossing from Praslin to the neighbouring island of La Digue. The journey offers open-water views and a genuine sense of island-hopping adventure.
Arrive at L'Union Estate to meet free-roaming Aldabra giant tortoises and tour the traditional copra factory, coconut plantation, and vanilla plantation. The visit to Anse Source d'Argent beach, framed by its iconic granite boulders, is included with the estate entry.
Browse local stalls for handcrafted souvenirs or authentic Coco de Mer products before your private transfer returns you to the jetty for the crossing back to Mahe.
