Top Things to do in La Digue Island
Top 9 Things to do for Honeymoon in La Digue Island, Seychelles
Arriving at La Digue feels like sailing straight into a painting, brimming with brush strokes of blue, green and tan. The beaches here are spectacular, particularly Grand Anse and Anse Source d'Argent, which is strewn with pink granite rocks. There are very few cars here, so traveling by bike or by ox cart is the way to go. Pedal over to Ile de Cocos for snorkeling or gawk at the rare Paradise Flycatcher (a beautiful black bird) at the Veuve Nature Reserve.

This is the place that I will remember forever - very picturesque and extremely beautiful. It is easily accessed passing through the L'Union estate (entrance is 115 rupees) where you can see giant turtoises, vanilla plantations, coconuts plantations including old colonial house, remaining working mill, cemetery from the colonial days that contains the early settlers graves and various vegetation. The beach itself is stunning ... picturesque .... with ‘out of this world rock formations ‘... all surrounded by lush vegetation on one side and white sand and crystal turquoise sea on the other. In spite of being more crowded than other beaches on the island there are plenty of places to sit and hide .... and there is no shortage of shaded areas... also it is a good place for swimming and snorkelling There are plenty of facilities nearby ... small snack places, renting of kayaks etc. Definitely place not to miss.

This is the best Grand Anse beach in the of the three islands as it easily trumps the one in Praslin and better than the Grand Anse in Mahe as well. Be advised not to venture into the waters, the waves are pretty rough and loud as well. But that's what the bliss was all about. The turquoise waters, white sand along with the granitic rocks standing tall amongst the greenery was a sight to cherish.

One of the best beaches, but it can be tough to get there when it's hot. You can expect a hike of about 30-45 minutes in hilly terrain. Bring water well. First, pass the Grand Anse. About the middle of Grand Anse is a large stone and behind it begins the path. Cross a concrete bridge and then keep right. when you come across the first ridge you come to Petit Anse which is also a very nice beach. Here, there is usually a small bar selling coconuts and small palm huts on the beach to get shade. Good as a break on the way home. If you can continue, the path goes in the forest behind Petit Anse and over the next mountain ridge. Then you come down to a beach where there are very few people. Most go farthest away because there is a small pool where you can snorkel in quite calm water.

This small island located just north of the private island of Felicite is a paradise for snorkeling. You can see so many of the beautiful species living in the waters surrounding the Seychelles! For those who are a little bit adventurous you might also be so "lucky" to see a white tip shark if you are in a boat and are able to go further east (south of Grande Soeur).

Really awesome beach. The waves were gentle and the water really clear. Just a few metres into the beach we had the best snorkelling experience in the Seychelles. We saw hundreds of brightly coloured fish, a huge sting ray, manta ray and so many other beautiful marine life. The beach itself isn’t quite smooth as it has corals on the sea bed but that not withstanding, the beach is really pretty. Sunsets and sunrises from here were mind blowing. The beach is great even for kids. We stayed right on the beach thanks to Anse Severe beach villas which I totally recommend. There are guys on the beach which sell fresh fruit juices for 100Rupees. There is enough space to stow away your bikes, and also enough trees to provide shade. This beach is just beautiful, and I totally recommend.

Absolutely beautiful beach! The water is more beautiful than Source D’Argent. It has the huge boulders and green tropical plants and unbelievably blue shades of water. There are waves in February so it’s not a good place to snorkel. There is limited shade on this small beach. Unfortunately it is very small. It’s the beach at the Patatran hotel. You can park your bike in a bike parking lot on the other side of the street. It’s about a 10-15 minute bike ride from the jetty. It is right after Anse Severe at the north end of the island.

While sailing on a catamaran, we spent a couple nights anchored right off of Felicity Island. There was very nice snorkeling, and the views were gorgeous. We had a wonderful visit.
