The Seychelles is an archipelago of 115 islands set in the Indian Ocean 900 miles east of Kenya. The beauty of its beaches is known worldwide - idyllic ribbons of soft white sand lapped by turquoise waters and fringing jungle-covered hills and huge rocky cliffs. The ocean waters are over-flowing with tropical fish and turtles – perfect for diving, snorkeling sea kayaking, swimming, and more. There are three main islands (the Inner Islands): Mahé – crowned by towering 3000-foot granite peaks, Mahé offers a treasure trove of flora. It is famous for its beaches, especially Anse Royal which is great for snorkeling. Walk along a palm-fringed path that meanders above the rocky coast. You can also explore lush forest, tea plantations and savor some wonderful native Creole cuisine. Praslin – the second largest island with soft white sand and crystal-clear waters. Its Anse Lazio beach is considered one of the best in the world. Legendary Vallee de Mai, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is home to a prehistoric rainforest of huge Coco de Mer trees and the rare Seychelles Black Parrot. La Digue – Only 3 miles long this small island offers calm, shallow water and beaches accessible only by foot. La Digue’s diverse wildlife can be seen in its Veuve Nature Reserve. La Digue can also be a day-trip from Praslin, taking the short ferry or helicopter ride. The Outer Islands are smaller, more exclusive and more remote, most with boutique or castaway retreats. These include North Island - powder-white sands and wild turtle filled turquoise waters of the Ile Du Nord eco-reserve. Félicité island – dramatically beautiful with massive granite boulders fringing the shoreline and perfect beaches. Fregate Island – a private playground with great diving, birding, and beaches. Cousin Island – a beautiful nature reserve and pristine ecosystem that hosts some of Seychelles rarest birds. Curieuse Island National Marine Park – a unique island eco-system accessed on twisting walking trails through the mangrove swamps, dotted with giant crabs and a breeding population of Giant Tortoises.
