“We were taken to some small. really stunning beaches annd some good viewpoints. Enjoyed the wine-tasting at the Takamaka Distillery!! We were pursuaded to go to Mission Lodge as it's part of the history of the island, but there's not really a lot to see there and I think we could have easily missed that out and stayed with the theme of beaches! A lovely day out, though!”

“Ramona and her team were super amazing! Loved this experience and would highly recommend it to everyone who comes to Seychelles! Ramona was very knowledgeable, enthusiastic and friendly! The team had a lot of energy, and they love their job, which always helps us customers! The experience is an hour in total, which includes going on top of the sub as it gets you to the viewpoint, then the majestic underwater viewing which is 20-30mins, but you can stay downstairs as they drive back to port. Got some amazing pics and Ramona was fantastic with taking pics on the top deck and inside the sub itself! Thank you again, you…”
Private Mahé full-day tour with hotel pickup and a customizable route, from botanical gardens and viewpoints to waterfalls and beaches.
“A bit more expensive than the rest. Still a nice experience with Charles taking us to all the important places of the island.”
Praslin day tour to Cousin, Curieuse and St Pierre: wildlife reserve walks, beach BBQ with giant tortoises, and easy snorkeling.
“In the end very disappointed. Picked up on time, waited for others and left over 45 mins after we arrived at boat. Confirmed day before that toilet facilities onboard. This was not true. Shared 8 pers boat with 2 other couples on different tours. This is a cost cutting measure. Got to Cousin Island on time, poor organisation by Cousin team meant took ages to be transfered. Island tour was poor. Our group of 40ish was far to big. Difficult to hear. With everyone chatting it frightened wildlife and got to close to nesting birds. Left Cousin and got to Curieuse for lunch. They agreed to provide 2 vegetarian options.…”
Catamaran cruise in Sainte Anne Marine Park for snorkeling, Creole lunch, and a Moyenne Island visit with free-roaming giant tortoises.
“I do not recommend this experience. Long waiting between the stops on visit of the Moyenne islan. Overcrowded.”
Every kind of island day, and the best of each.
