Why This Circuit

Three Islands, Built for First-Time Seychelles

🪨

Granite islands — found nowhere else

The Seychelles' main islands are 750-million-year-old granite — the only oceanic granitic islands on Earth. Enormous rounded boulders, prehistoric-feeling beaches.

🌴

Vallée de Mai UNESCO + Coco de Mer

Praslin's Vallée de Mai is the only place on Earth where the Coco de Mer palm grows wild. Produces the world's largest seed (25 kg).

🚲

La Digue — bicycle island

No cars on La Digue. Hire a bicycle at the ferry port and cycle past giant tortoises to the world's most photographed beach.

🏖️

Anse Source d'Argent

The most photographed beach in the world. Ancient granite boulders, impossibly turquoise lagoon, perfectly sheltered safe swimming.

🥗

Self-catering for vegetarians

Creole cuisine is fish-heavy — but Victoria market has excellent fresh produce, and budget self-catering apartments make this trip easy for strict vegetarians.
