Things To Do: Praslin: Fishing
  • Tip Rating:
  • You can fish here anytime and anywhere you like,you don't even need a license;) So for hobby fisher,this place is heaven.My husband did it day and night.He was so obsessed that he would even get up early if he's got new ideas for catching fish.He caught many but we only kept 2,one is a crocodile needle fish,almost 1m long,the other one is blue fin(forgot the name).He put the small ones back to where they belong;)

    Things To Do: Praslin: Zimbabwe
  • Tip Rating:
  • Probably the steepest road on the island but offers the best view .Quiet scaring,especially if you're not use to left hand driving but public bus runs here as well.If you're driving,just take your time and be careful driving,the road is so steep and narrow and some bus drivers there are sometimes running too fast.

    Things To Do: Praslin:Vallée de Mai
  • Tip Rating:
  • This UNESCO Heritage site is the home to the famous Coco de Mer (coconut of the sea),the seed inside can weigh more than 20kilos,so it's the heaviest and largest seed in the world.Exploring the forest is very easy,the paths are clearly signed and well made.But make sure to bring water,you'll definitely need it.
    Opening hours 8:00-17:30
    Entrance Fee: 15 Euros (adult)

    Things To Do: Praslin: Beaches
  • Tip Rating:
  • There are loads of beautiful and secluded beaches in Praslin.The water is warm and crystal clear. You'll see different species of fish and other marine life.
    Anse Lazio is probably the most famous beach there
    Anse La Blague is almost deserted because this part of the island isn't known yet,the sea is very calm compare to Anse Lazio.When we came here,we saw only local people swimming or having picnic here,there were no tourist except us;) no we are not tourists,we are travellers;)
    Cote d' Or,well,no doubt,the place is awesome except for some annoying locals asking if you want to change Euros to Rupees because as they said,they have better rate than the banks.We were warned about these type of people,some of them might be thieves,they're just waiting for the right moment to steal your things,specially while you're away swimming.No wonder,there are quite a few civilian police around the beach.

    Things To Do: Mahé:Tea Factory
  • Tip Rating:
  • We didn't see a lot here because we came in the afternoon, factory tour is only until midday. But they still let us visit the tea packaging.The factory has also shop,where you can buy different tea flavours and/or have a snack in their little café.
