Overview

This 12-day Seychelles itinerary is crafted for travellers seeking a perfect balance of relaxation, exploration, and island culture across the archipelago’s legendary “Big Three” islands, Mahé, Praslin, and La Digue.

Designed at a relaxed pace, the journey allows time not just for famous sights, but also for hidden beaches, marine adventures, and slow island moments that define Seychelles.

Your journey begins on Mahé, the cultural and geographical heart of Seychelles. Here, dramatic coastal drives, mountain viewpoints, lively markets, and some of the archipelago’s best beaches introduce you to Creole life.

From coral-rich marine parks to the wild southern coastline and local rum distilleries, Mahé offers a dynamic mix of nature and heritage.

From Mahé, you travel to Praslin, an island often described as the Garden of Eden. Home to the UNESCO-listed Vallée de Mai, Praslin preserves a prehistoric palm forest where the rare Coco de Mer grows naturally. The island is also surrounded by some of the Indian Ocean’s finest beaches and snorkelling spots, with excursions to Curieuse Island and nearby islets adding wildlife encounters and crystal-clear lagoons to your experience.

The final chapter unfolds on La Digue, an island where bicycles replace cars and time slows to a gentle rhythm. Famous for its sculpted granite boulders and shallow turquoise waters, La Digue offers a true castaway feel. Iconic beaches like Anse Source d’Argent coexist with wild, untouched shores reachable by jungle trails, making it a paradise for photographers, beach lovers, and those craving serenity.

This itinerary is ideal for honeymooners, couples, slow travellers, and luxury seekers who want to experience Seychelles beyond rushed sightseeing. With scenic ferry rides, handpicked island experiences, and ample free time, it delivers an authentic, unforgettable tropical journey through one of the world’s most beautiful island nations.
