Day-by-day program

Day 1
We meet at the home marina on Mahé island in Victoria, check in to the boat, hold a safety briefing, shop for provisions and have dinner at a restaurant in the marina.
2
Day 2
Our first passage takes us to La Digue with the most beautiful beaches in the Seychelles, trolling for tuna on the way. We end the day watching the sun set into the warm waters of the Indian Ocean.
3
Day 3
On to Curieuse island: the famous giant Seychelles tortoises are waiting for us! We spend the night at anchor in a cosy bay.
4
Day 4
Coco Island and one of the most interesting snorkelling spots. Another gorgeous beach to add to the collection.
5
Day 5
At last we reach Praslin: the giant Seychelles coconut, primeval jungle and the now traditional sunset spots you will never forget.
6
Day 6
The Grande Soeur islands: private slices of paradise that we can visit only at certain hours.

Day 7
We return towards Mahé, but anchor off Sainte Anne island instead of the home marina. We spend the whole evening swimming in the Indian Ocean one last time.
