Itinerary of your cruise
From the almost uninhabited paradise of Curieuse to the famous beach of Anse Source d'Argent, your cruise will allow you to discover the most beautiful landscapes of the Seychelles.
DAY 1 : Mahé - Round Island
The crew and captain are waiting for you at Inter Island Quay at 10:30 am for your boarding. After the captain's welcome and briefing, you will depart for Round Island. You will arrive in the late afternoon and enjoy a delicious barbecue on the boat.
DAY 2 : Round Island - Praslin
For this day, you will sail in the direction of Praslin. You will visit the Vallée de Mai, a site classified by UNESCO and nicknamed the "Garden of Eden". This forest of palm trees is home to the famous "coco de mer", known as the largest seed in the world. During your walk you may have the chance to see the Seychelles black parrot. The afternoon will be dedicated to diving (extra charge), or other water sports. Dinner and overnight on board.
DAY 3 : Praslin - La Digue
The captain weighed anchor in the morning and set course for La Digue. This island surrounded by granite rocks is home to the famous and heavenly Anse Source d'Argent beach. You can visit it by bicycle (hire on site). On your way to Union State, you will discover some of the island's traditional activities: a copra factory, a vanilla plantation and a shipyard. Dinner and overnight on board.
DAY 4 : La Digue - The Sisters - Coco Island
After breakfast, you leave for the islands of Big Sister and Little Sister (the Sisters). These islands are very popular with divers and are home to a particularly diverse underwater fauna and flora. You may have the chance to observe sea turtles swimming to the beach. You will then go to Coco, a wild and preserved island. You'll put on flippers, mask and snorkel and dive amongst a myriad of tropical fish. Dinner and overnight on board.
DAY 5 : Coco Island - Arid
Your morning will be dedicated to nautical activities on Booby Island. A little later, set course for Aride.

DAY 6 : Arid - Curious
Today the crew is taking you to Curious. You will have free time to visit the island and walk through its impressive mangrove forest. Following the trails, you will find the historical ruins of the former leper colony. Indeed, Curieuse was used as a leper colony from 1883 to 1965 to isolate the sick from the population. You will also discover a giant turtle farm which participates in the protection of land and sea turtles. Dinner and night on board.

Vacanza indimenticabile
Martina
Dec 2022
Una vacanza stupenda e sicuramente il modo migliore in assoluto per vedere le Seychelles e godersele al massimo.
L'unica nota dolente è che la barca ha caratteristiche molto Basic ed è piuttosto vecchia (110 anni!) seppure rinnovata, soprattutto gli spazi esterni potrebbero essere riforniti un poco meglio per renderli più godibili. Inoltre la goletta è risultata essere molto più instabile di quanto non immaginassimo con conseguente mal di mare (mai avuto su altri tipi di imbarcazioni).
Tuttavia l'equipaggio è stato top in tutto, da cuoco che cucina da mattina a sera, al capitano che ci ha sempre consigliato le esperienze migliori facendoci godere al massimo ogni minuto fuori dalla barca, al diving master che ci ha portato alla scoperta dei fondali e tutto il resto del team.
Se il vostro obiettivo è godervi le isole più che la barca allora siete nel posto giusto!

Une croisière aux seychelles, archipel paradisiaque
Fabrice
Mar 2022
L'accueil a été très bien organisé, aux petits soins pour les passagers. L'équipage au top et très accueillant, compréhensif et surtout à l'écoute. La nourriture est très bonne, le cuisto fait du bon travail, on a des fruits etc...seul bémol, les boissons payantes peuvent vite faire augmenter la note. Les excursions sont tops, souvent bien organisées, et bien expliquées. Le capitaine annonce son programme tous les soirs. Les paysages traversées aussi bien mer que sur les îles sont à couper le souffle de beauté.
