Boarding in Mahé late morning. Anchorage for the night at Sainte Anne Marine Park.

Day 2: St. Anne Marine Park – Cocos Island - La Digue
Visit to the Sainte Anne Marine Park islands, a beautiful spot to do snorkelling. After lunch cruise to Cocos Island which is made of large rocks with strange regular stripes carved by the sea.

Anchorage in front of the picturesque harbour of La Digue Island.

Day 3: La Digue
Rent a bike at the jetty and then have a leisurely exploration of the quiet and beautiful island of La Digue. With its tracks winding under tall palm trees, houses with roofs of palm leaves, small copra factories, fine white sandy beaches and large polished rocks, La Digue is one of the most beautiful island in the Seychelles. There are only a few cars on la Digue - otherwise it's mostly bicycles or carts drawn by oxen. Horse riding is also possible. Anchorage overnight in La Digue harbour.

Visit to Cousin Island. This has been a nature reserve since 1968 and includes giant tortoises as well as a bird sanctuary with rare species. Lunch on board. Afternoon in Praslin for visit to the Vallée de Mai, a UNESCO World heritage site. A walk here amongst the giant palms is enchanting and this is home of the enormous palm, the Coco de Mer (40 metres tall) and it's giant nut - the largest seed in the world in fact. Anchorage in Baie St. Anne.

Day 5: Baie St. Anne – Grande Soeur – Curieuse or Anse Petite Cour (Praslin)

Curieuse. This island is part of the Marine National Park, more than a hundred tortoises live here.
