This small, serene beach is among the most beautiful on Praslin Island.
Reviewed By illusions328 - Great Falls, United States
this is a small beautiful beach with easy access for Constance Lemuria guests (10min free buggy ride every hour) and less easy access for outside guests, 25min-30min walk from parking outside the hotel through the golf course on a hilly but well maintained path. If you are staying at the hotel, this is the only beach you need to be at. we were surprised to see so few hotel guests take the extra 10mins to get to this beach as most of them spent time at petite anse kerlan which gets very busy. this is not a secluded/isolated beach but because access isn't easy, the crowds are much lower than the likes of anse laszio. we were often the first on the beach around 9am and first to depart around noon after which the crowds start to grow. so for that isolated Cast Away feeling come early! water and weather is still very warm this beach has it all, beautiful surroundings, granite rock and all, white soft sand and and beautiful clear blue water. it seems to be a safe beach to swim (depending on season/current conditions) and plenty of shade. there are no facilities but you can buy juice/fruit from a local vendor. we spent 4 mornings at this beach during our 4 night stay @ the lemuria.

This island is strictly protected to allow Giant tortoises to prosper.
Reviewed By Samsiebabes - Edwalton, United Kingdom
We absolutely loved our trip to see the giant tortoises. They’re such amazing creatures. We would recommend taking fruit if you want to feed them - you can’t get food there and they’re trying to protect the plants so don’t take branches off the plants. We didn’t want to do an organised tour so got dropped off by Sagittarius boats (they have a Facebook) - it was reasonable and only took about 15 minutes. It was a simple little boat but much cheaper than the tours and they let us choose how long we wanted to spend (we did 2.5 hours) and it was exactly what we needed. We then went on the walk across the island to the Scott’s house. This was hot and uneven ground so we’d recommend trainers, hats and water. The beach at the end was really beautiful not much shade. There were Toilets on both sides but not nicest facilities.

Deserving of its reputation as one of the best beaches in the Seychelles, arguably one of the best in the World. Turquoise waters, fine golden sand, lofty palms right up to the shore line and shouldered by giant granite boulders at each end of the bay. You may find you're pinching yourself to make sure its not all a dream. Snorkeling was great just behind the granite rocks at the far end of the bay near Bonbon Plume, plenty of other people here too so follow the snorkels! Note - Bonbon Plume was still closed for refurbishment when we visited in August.

10. Fond Ferdinand

Reviewed By MarnoS_13 - Rotterdam, The Netherlands
Finding the entrance can be a bit hard. Across from Anse Marie-Louise, look out for a small red sign that says 'Fond Ferdinand'. Follow this path. Arrived at 9.00 and the tour started at 9.30. Very busy, about 30+ people (Sunday morning) but our guide Clifford took the time to explain everything about the Coco de Mer and all kinds of other plants and animals. The climb is 667 stairs, but as the guide takes a lot of time to explain things, it isn't very exhausting (only the top part, as there isn't much shade and can get hot). Our guest house owner recommended this place and we weren't disappointed. We also went to Vallée de Mai after this tour and because we learned so much at Fond Ferdinand, our visit to Vallée de Mai made more sense. So if you are going to visit both parks, make sure to visit Fond Ferdinand first. Our tour took about 2,5 hours (probably because the group was big and we stayed at the top for quite a while (which was great!)). There's a bus stop around the corner, and a few parking spaces for cars.
