Holidays in the spectacular Seychelles do not have to be expensive. Spend a week relaxing on magnificent Cote d Or beach on Praslin island - swimming, snorkelling or deep sea fishing. It is possible to enjoy relatively cheap Seychelles holidays on a budget if you are prepared to self drive, with self catering on request. Car hire is available on both Praslin & Mahe islands. All transfers, car hire & ferries included.

Day 1
You will be met at Mahe Airport in the Seychelles and transferred to the harbour for the 1-hour ferry to beautiful Praslin Island.
 
Collect your hire car from Baie St Anne Harbour and drive to your hotel on this paradise island.
Days 2 To 3
Relax and enjoy the pristine beaches of Praslin, the second largest island in the Seychelles.
 
You can enjoy snorkelling, diving, fishing and other watersports and play a round of golf on the stunning 18-hole course at Lemuria.
 
Be sure to visit popular Cote d'Or Beach, the longest on Praslin island with several small shops, dive and activity centres. Also visit famous Anse Lazio Beach in the north, with its picturesque granite boulders, white sands and clear turquoise waters.
 
During your stay do try and visit the beautiful Vallée de Mai Nature Reserve, which is the home of the gigantic coco de mer palm trees, whose enormous double coconut seeds resemble a woman's pelvis. This tropical forest also offers sanctuary to birds such as the endangered black parrot and the endemic bulbul.
Day 4
This morning we recommend transferring to Baie Sainte Anne Harbour to embark on a full day 3 Islands sailing adventure.
 
Our first stop is the small island of Cousin, with its pristine eco-system & nature reserve that is home to many rare birds. We continue to the mangroves of Curieuse Island Marine Park, which is home to over 100 giant tortoises that roam free, as well as giant crabs.
 
After a delicious BBQ lunch on board our yacht, we continuing to St. Pierre, a very small island that offers superb snorkelling opportunities, before returning to Praslin island.
 
Note: Take your swimming costume, towel, sunscreen & insect repellent. Minimum of 12 people required on the day to guarantee departure. Tour operates on a Tuesday and Thursday only.
Day 5
Transfer to Baie Sainte Anne Harbour this morning in good time to board the 15-minute ferry to pretty La Digue Island, the fourth largest granitic island in the Seychelles archipelago.
 
On arrival at La Digue harbour, you will be taken to the cycle shop to collect your bike. Your day is then free to independently explore this relatively less developed island, where the pace of life is slower and all transport is by bicycle or golf cart.
 
Be sure to visit Anse Source D'Argent, one of the most photographed beaches in the world with its gigantic granite boulders, palm trees and turquoise waters. It is a level 10-minute cycle ride or 40-minute walk from the village. When you arrive, don’t stop at the first cove but walk along the beach as there are many more coves that are less crowded.
 
Also visit Veuve Nature Reserve, which is home to the rare black paradise flycatcher, of which there are only about 100 left in the wild. From here enjoy views of La Digue's tallest peak - Belle Vue (or Eagle's Nest Mountain). Lunch is for your own account today, with the ferry back to Praslin island departing at 16.30 from La Digue harbour.
 
Days 6 To 7
Another day at lesiure to explore more of spectacular Praslin Island or simply relax on the beach.
Day 8
Today drive to Baie St Anne Harbour in good time for the 1-hour by ferry to Mahe, where you will be met and transferred to Mahe Airport for your flight home.
