Destination: Praslin

Praslin

One of the most visited and largest islands after Mahé is Praslin, only fifteen minutes by a 20 seater “Twin Otter” plane from Mahé, or one hour by sea on “Cat Cocos” - an air conditioned catamaran. This island is somewhat quieter, and less developed than Mahé, but boasts an exotic paradise of dense vegetation and lush coconut groves.

Praslin is famous for its soft white sandy beaches, and there are far too many to name, with the exception of Anse Lazio, which has consistently been voted one of the world’s best beaches. They offer safe bathing and excellent snorkeling among the living corals, which are home to an amazing nine hundred species of fish. One can either hire a bicycle, a taxi, go on an organized trip round the island.

Two unique features of Praslin are it is the only island in the Seychelles with a Championship Golf course, and the only island outside Mahé with a Casino. It is also an excellent jumping off point to visit other islands like La Digue, Cousin, Curieuse and St. Pierre. These beautiful islands are inhabited by thousands of birds and turtles, and their waters possess beautiful coral reefs where snorkelers can see a variety of fishes.
