SeychellesIsland Hopping
Explore the breathtaking islands of Seychelles with pristine beaches and marine life.
The Seychelles archipelago is one of the world's most extraordinary destinations — 115 islands scattered across the Indian Ocean, each fringed by ancient granite boulders, tropical forest, and some of the clearest water on earth. Anse Source d'Argent on La Digue is consistently ranked among the planet's most beautiful beaches, and it's just one of dozens waiting to be discovered.
A classic island-hopping itinerary combines Mahé — home to the international airport, the colourful capital Victoria, and the National Botanical Gardens — with Praslin, where the legendary Vallée de Mai UNESCO nature reserve shelters the ancient Coco de Mer palms, and the magnificent Anse Lazio beach draws travellers from around the world. A short ferry ride connects Praslin to La Digue, a car-free island of ox-cart tracks, giant tortoises, and secluded coves.
