Itinerary idea
Private customized tour. Ask us about booking your international flights at our preferred rates.
-
Arriving at Mahé Airport, you will be met by our local representative who will escort you through the airport and onward to your private hotel transfer. Most flights land in the morning, leaving you plenty of time to settle into your hotel and relax. We recommend heading down to the small white-sand beach, one of the prettiest in the area, and soaking up the scenery.
-
Today your driver will collect you from your hotel for a full-day private tour where you decide the itinerary. The small capital Victoria is well worth a visit, and we highly rate La Plaine St Andre, a heritage site complete with a rum distillery next door. Your Audley specialist and driver will be happy to provide personalized recommendations.
-
This morning, our local representative will collect you from the hotel and take you to Mahé's Inter Island Quay. Here, you will board the MY Pegasus for a four-night, relaxed-paced cruise around some of the Seychelles' most prestigious islands. On board, settle into your modestly sized cabin before getting acquainted with your fellow passengers at the outdoor bar on the sun deck.
-
Start the day by sailing northeast to reach the uninhabited island of Curieuse, still one of two locations where the native Coco de mer palm grows naturally and home to over 200 giant Aldabra tortoises. Arriving by zodiac, learn about the island's history via an included guided walking excursion with a park guide before heading to the beach for a barbecue.
-
Today you head to Cousin Island, home to over a quarter million protected nesting seabirds and an important breeding site for hawksbill turtles. This afternoon sail onward to Anse Lazio Beach on Praslin's northern coast. Renowned for its scattering of boulders upon white sand and crystal waters, it's regularly named one of the world’s most beautiful beaches.
-
Today you’ll reach Aride, the northernmost granitic island in the Seychelles. An included guided hike to the highest point of the island offers an insight into the island's flora, such as the endemic plant Wright’s Gardenia, and views below. For your final night on board, celebrate with a Creole-themed evening with music, dancing and local dishes.
-
After breakfast, disembark your cruise on Praslin's Baie Sainte Anne jetty. A local representative will meet you here and take you to your hotel in a private car. The surrounding beaches on the northwest tip of Praslin Island are secluded with calm waters for most of the year, making this a great spot for snorkeling and swimming.
-
Hop on the inter-island ferry, which will sail you on the 15-minute journey to the sleepy island of La Digue. Here, you can easily rent bicycles and guide yourself around the island, spending the afternoon lazing on the beautiful Anse Source d'Argent beach in L'Union Estate.
-
Today you could take a guided tour of the Vallée de Mai Nature Reserve located at the heart of the island — the park is one of two locations where the Coco de Mer palm grows naturally.
-
Today you will be collected by private car and transferred to Praslin's jetty to catch the island ferry. Take in the wonderful vistas as you cruise the approximate one-hour journey back to Mahé. On arrival, you will be taken to the airport for your international flight home this evening.
