The Seychelles From May to October
Isolated in the Indian Ocean and the only mid-ocean islands of granite formation to be found on earth, the Seychelles archipelago is often mentioned in the same breath as the lost 'Garden of Eden.'
The highest peaks of a submerged mountain range that broke apart from the supercontinent of Gondwana millions of years ago, the Seychelles' inner islands are the most ancient islands on earth - no other mid-ocean isles of granite formation can be found anywhere else. This curious geological feature was one of several curiosities about the islands that led the famed British General, Charles Gordon, to declare Seychelles the site of the biblical Garden of Eden.
Situated some 1,500 kilometers east of mainland Africa, and northeast of the island of Madagascar, this tiny island group boasts a population of just 90,000 inhabitants, with a warm, tropical climate all year-round and some of the most stunningly beautiful beaches in the world.
Mahé, the largest island, is home to the majority of the population and represents the archipelago's commercial and transportation hub, with the country's only international airport linking the islands to the rest of the globe. The island is characterised by its towering granite peaks, lush mist forests and dozens of striking coves and beaches.
The second largest island, Praslin, is home to the legendary Vallée de Mai, the UNESCO World Heritage Site where the Coco de Mer grows in abundance. This double coconut, which curiously resembles the shape of a woman's pelvis, was another facet of General Gordon's theory about Seychelles as the Garden of Eden - he believed it to be the real forbidden fruit.
La Digue, the third-most populous island, moves at an even slower pace: bicycles remain the most common mode of transportation, for both its residents and visiting tourists. The huge granite boulders that adorn the coastline at Anse Source D'Argent have led some to believe that it could very well be the most photographed beach in the world.
While Mahé, Praslin and La Digue may be the principal islands, dozens of smaller 'satellite' isles nearby offer further opportunity to explore and admire. Every island has a character and charm all of its own, with colorful individual histories and unique natural features, some with steep granite cliffs and others comprising pristine coral atolls. Together, they make up a surprisingly diverse destination of great natural beauty, rare flora and fauna that have been cocooned in isolation for millions of years, and a friendly multi-cultural people eager to welcome you to their shores.
Your safety and comfort are our highest priority. In the event of adverse conditions, all itineraries are subject to change at the captain’s discretion. - Be sure to bring plenty of coral reef safe sun-screen, a cap or hat and sunglasses - Seychelles is generally warm and sunny throughout the year and the sun’s rays can be especially impactful onboard the vessel, due to the reflection from the sea. - Bring suitable footwear for walking on deck and on the beach, as well as in shallow water (some island visits require embarking & disembarking from dinghies in shallow water). - There are numerous opportunities to dive on most days of the itinerary, and we can also conduct introductory dives for novices and PADI Open Water certification courses. Contact us for dive rates and equipment rental fees. - This cruise is full board - we serve a combination of International and authentic Creole cuisine. Please contact us for special dietary needs. - Bottled water, soft drinks, beer, wine and spirits are all available on board. Price list available on request.

Embarkation at the Inter-Island Quay at 1030hrs for official
welcome and briefing by the captain. Depart from Port Victoria
at 1200hrs, sailing up and around the scenic coastline of
Mahé's northern peninsula, past the beautiful bay of Beau
Vallon, and along the dramatic backdrop of the northwestern
coast of the island, with its opposing granite boulders, lush
vegetation and striking blue water. In the evening, introduce
yourself to Creole cuisine with a welcome barbecue onboard
the vessel.
Sail to the beautiful Baie Ternay Marine Park and Nature
Reserve on the western coast of Mahé, where calm, crystalclear
waters provide for excellent snorkelling and diving during
the day. An afternoon sail back to Beau Vallon Bay positions
the vessel in one of the island's best places to watch the
countless shades of pink and orange of a Seychelles sunset.
Early morning sail towards Cousin island off the coast of
Praslin, for morning visit of this strictly protected nature
reserve, famed for its sea bird colonies and also as a sanctuary
for Seychelles' rare endemic land birds and other native
species.
After lunch we sail to Praslin, for an afternoon of diving and
water-sports.
Disembarkation on Praslin, Seychelles' second-largest
inhabited island, for the visit of the famous World Heritage
Site, the Vallee de Mai Nature Reserve.
This ancient forest is home to the curiously shaped double
coconut, the coco de mer, as well as the Black Parrot, unique to
Praslin. Explore the valley's eerie pathways beneath its canopy
of massive palms, before returning onboard for afternoon
opportunities to dive, snorkel or enjoy other water sports.
A morning sail brings the vessel to La Digue, a sleepy island
community where ox-carts and bicycles still remain the most
common mode of transportation throughout the island.
La Digue is home to the endemic Seychelles Paradise
Flycatcher, and is perhaps most famous for its massive granite
boulder formations at Anse Source d'Argent, which is thought
to be the most photographed beach on earth. Explore the
entire island by bicycle, perhaps stopping by Union Estate, a
sprawling network of traditional island activities, including a
copra mill, vanilla plantation, and shipyard.
In the morning disembark at Curieuse for a visit of this virtually
uninhabited island. Experience the island's vast mangrove
forests and its giant tortoise farm, along with the historic ruins
of this former leper colony. After a barbecue lunch on the
island, enjoy an array of water sports or simply relax and enjoy
the island's beautiful beach and turquoise waters.
In the afternoon, sail towards the tiny, picturesque granite
outcrop of St. Pierre. It is an excellent site for snorkelling and
diving, with the nooks and crannies of its granite boulders
teeming with marine life. Sail to Anse Lazio, one of the most
beautiful beaches of Praslin, and arguably, all of Seychelles - a
perfect place for water-sports.
After breakfast the vessel begins its sail towards Mahé,
anchoring in the Ste Anne Marine National Park with its cluster
of lush granite islands for an afternoon of water-sports and
diving. Overnight at Ile Seche.
Disembarkation at the Inter-Island Quay at 08.30hrs.
Itineraries are subject to change.
