01 \ About the Seychelles
Seychelles
are —
Almost on the equator, the Seychelles bring together comfort and untouched tropical nature.
Quiet white beaches reached from the water, nights beneath bright southern stars, juicy tropical fruit and long swims in clear water. Walk through national parks, explore the jungle and sail on a spacious air-conditioned catamaran. This is our idea of an island escape.
Every day in the Seychelles feels like a new chapter in an adventure.
02 \ ABOUT THE EXPEDITION
The Seychelles mean more to me than a point on a map.
I have returned four years in a row because these islands feel magical. When I first saw the photographs, I wondered whether somewhere so beautiful could really exist. I have loved them ever since.

THE ROUTE
Day 1
Mahé — Sainte Anne
After arriving on Mahé we meet at the marina Eden Island, where our catamaran awaits: home for the next few days. Settle in and visit the market for fresh fruit and local treats.
In the evening we hope to make a short passage to Sainte Anne. There may already be time for a swim in the warm Indian Ocean, followed by sunset and our first night beneath the stars. Our sea adventure begins.
Day 2
Cousin — Anse Georgette — Praslin
Set off at dawn for the central islands. Raise the sails and cast the fishing lines: there is a chance of tuna or another large fish along the way.
Our first stop is Cousin, for a walk through its bird sanctuary. Then we head to Anse Georgettefor a sunset stroll or a gentle hike.
Finish the day with a night beside Praslin, beneath the stars.
Day 3
Curieuse — Côte d’Or
Wake with the first sunlight and head to Curieuse, a reserve known for its giant tortoises. Morning is ideal for a walk: choose a shorter route or a more challenging trail.
After walking, have lunch by the former doctor's house and swim in the warm ocean.
In the evening we head to the peaceful beach of Côte d'Or on Praslinfor a quiet night accompanied by the waves.
Day 4
La Digue — Grand Anse — Anse Source d’Argent
Today we sail to La Digue. Hire bicycles and ride through the jungle towards Grand Anse , a coast of powerful waves and white sand, stopping along the way wherever we feel like lingering.
If you wish, try a transparent kayak and watch the underwater world below.
Finish at one of the world's most beautiful beaches, Anse Source d’Argent, where white sand meets granite boulders. Have dinner and enjoy the island's relaxed atmosphere.
Day 5
Félicité — Îles Cocos
The day begins with an unhurried exploration of the islands around La Digue. Our first stops are Petite Sœur and Grande Sœur, where we can try fishing from the catamaran. Then continue to Félicitéfor snorkelling among coral and marine life.
Finish the day at the Coco Islands, with white beaches and clear water. Spend the night beneath the stars in this secluded corner of the archipelago.
Day 6
Île de Palme — Vallée de Mai
Today we explore hidden beaches on La Diguethat can only be reached from the water.
Spend the morning snorkelling and enjoying nature, then sail to Praslinto visit the famous reserve of Vallée de Mai , home to the coco de mer, the islands' symbol.
In the evening, return to the catamaran after dinner in a local restaurant and prepare for the last part of the journey.
Day 7
South Praslin — Beau Vallon — Mahé
Our final day begins with a longer sailing passage back to Mahé.
To round off the trip, anchor beside the beautiful beach of Beau Vallonfor a farewell barbecue together.
In the evening, you can visit a casino or explore a local rum distillery for another taste of island life.
Spend the night in the marina and enjoy the last hours of our adventure.
Day 8
The end of the journey
In the morning, pack and say goodbye to the crew.
We leave the catamaran by 9 am.
We warmly recommend staying a few more days in the Seychelles: enjoy the islands' calm, discover another beach or relax at a local spa.

04 \ GOOD TO KNOW
Questions
& Answers
We choose sheltered waters where possible, but motion and seasickness are still possible, especially offshore. Ask a doctor or pharmacist about suitable remedies before the trip; medication and patches do not guarantee that symptoms will disappear. We do not set out into a storm.
Of course. Enjoy a drink on the bow, unwind and take gentle evening walks followed by dinner ashore. We may ask for a little help when mooring, with the skipper right there to guide you.
