An island-hopping journey by boat — Mahé and its capital set between jungle and ocean, Praslin and its prehistoric valley, then La Digue, where granite boulders shape some of the most photographed beaches in the world.

Praslin, the prehistoric valley

The trip begins in Mahé, between the capital Victoria and the trails of Morne Seychellois National Park, before reaching Praslin by boat. The Vallée de Mai, a primary forest that has remained almost untouched for millions of years, is home to the coco de mer, an endemic palm whose seed can weigh over twenty kilograms — a site Charles Darwin himself once compared to the Garden of Eden. Anse Lazio, one of the most photographed beaches in the world, closes this second chapter.

La Digue, the granite boulders

La Digue closes the trip at its own pace — a car-free island where cycling remains the most natural mode of transport, between vanilla plantations and small street stalls. Anse Source d'Argent, with its pink granite boulders sculpted by millions of years of erosion and translucent water, remains one of the Seychelles' most recognisable images, and one of the rare places where reality actually surpasses the photo.
