Eden Island

Fly into Victoria, Eden Island Marina is a great location to embark. Captain will be waiting to greet you at the airport and accompany you to the yacht. Once everyone is settled on board, depart to Praslin Island.
Praslin Island
2
Home to the unique Coco de Mer tree, which can be found in its World Heritage National Park, the island of Praslin is pure escapism.
Visit to the Vallee de Mai, a valley under UNESCO protection. A walk in the Vallee is enchanting. The path wanders in the near obscurity created by the enormous palm leaves of “Cocos de mer”. The trunks are 40 m high and sway gently in the breeze, making a strange rustling sound as they rub against each other.
Curieuse Island
2
In the afternoon depart to Curieuse Island. This island is part of the Marine National Park and is practically uninhabited, apart from about 300 giant land tortoise which have been given a new home on the island as part of a tortoise rearing project.
Excellent spot for snorkelling with magnificent underwater scenery.
La Digue Island

With its tracks winding under tall palm trees, houses with roofs of palm leaves, small coprah factories, fine white sandy beaches and large polished rocks, La Digue might be the most beautiful island in the Seychelles. No cars, only bicycles or carts drawn by oxen.

Swimming and snorkelling off Bird Island is magical. Totally surrounded by the softest of white powdery sands, the island is home to at least twenty different species of birds, including millions of sooty terns nesting between May and October.
Silhouette Island
7
Morning cruise to Silhouette. Hills covered by tropical trees are reminiscent of Mahe, coconut trees at the beach side evoke Praslin and its incomparable beaches with its granite rock formations give the impression of being in La Digue. A trail through the lush vegetation reveals the beautiful and exceptional tropical forest.
Victoria
8
By far the largest and most developed of the Seychelles islands, Mahé is home to the country's capital, Victoria, and to about 90% of the Seychelles' population. You can explore it in a pleasant two-hour stroll. Highlights include a silver-painted replica of London's Little Ben - itself a miniature of Big Ben - and the islands' Natural History Museum.
Explore the island or just relax before a long cruise to Desroches Island.
