No fewer than 115 islands make up the grouping of the #Seychelles northeast of Madagascar, although only a small proportion of the islands is actually habitable. For this reason, the trip is also limited to the so-called Inner Seychelles around #Praslin, #La Digue and #Mahé. Immerse yourself and fall in love with the fascinating world in the middle of the Indian #Ocean, which makes the heart of jungle enthusiasts, animal lovers, water rats and nature lovers beat to the limit. The #paradise on earth has a name!


Our Highlights


Praslin - Praslin is the second largest #island of the Inner Seychelles after Mahé and stands for fine sandy #beaches and an enchanting variety of #animals. Anse Lazio in the north-west of the island is one of the most beautiful sandy beaches in the whole of the Seychelles and borders on the crystal clear waters of the Indian Ocean, where you have wonderful #diving and #snorkelling possibilities and can admire an impressive diversity of underwater inhabitants. But also the other beaches around Anse Possession, Anse Kerlan and Anse Georgette are worth a visit. In the centre of Praslin is the beautiful Vallée de Mai National Park (World Heritage Site since 1983), one of two places in the world where the rare Coco de Mer palm with its huge leaves grows. Rare #bird species such as the Black Parrot or the Madagascar Blue Pigeon are among the inhabitants of the national #park as well as several reptile and amphibian species such as the bronze gecko.


La Digue - What applies to Praslin also applies to the third largest inhabited island in the Seychelles, La Digue. Several fairytale-like sandy beaches such as Anse Source d'Argent - one of the most photographed beaches worldwide - and Anse Cocos in the west, which is much less crowded, invite you to swim, snorkel or just #relax. Be sure to stop at L'Union Estate Farm, an old coconut plantation that has now been expanded to include a vanilla plantation and a stall for giant tortoises. The Veuve (English for widow), as the locals call it, is a Black Paradise Flycatcher, an extremely rare bird that can be seen almost exclusively in the Veuve Nature Reserve on La Digue in its natural habitat. In addition to this extremely rare bird species, the reserve is also home to numerous pond #turtles and fruit #bats


Mahé - Mahé is the largest of all the islands in the Inner Seychelles and offers travelers a wide range of #activities in addition to the state capital Victoria. Hiking enthusiasts should definitely seize the opportunity and plan a tour through the beautiful, mangrove-covered Morne Seychellois National Park, in the center of which is the highest #mountain of the country with the Morne-Seychellois at around 900 meters.The park is home to a fascinating flora, numerous tortoises and some species of bird. If you are looking for relaxation from the already ubiquitous relaxation on Mahé, take a detour to the lively #botanical garden full of palm trees, bird species, turtles and bats. And even though it seems almost superfluous to mention this: Mahé also has some incredibly beautiful, velvety-soft sandy beaches such as Anse Intendance, Anse Soleil and above all Beau Vallon, the most popular beach and diving spot on Mahé surrounded by Takamaka trees.
