Description:
Day 1 (Saturday): Mahé Inter Island Quay - St. Anne Island
You will board the ship between 14.00 and 15.00. Following a welcome cocktail, the boat will set sail from the harbour on Mahé and sail towards St. Anne for a refreshing swimming break. The boat will then anchor for the night closer to St. Anne, where you will enjoy your welcome dinner in the evening.
Day 2 (Sunday): St. Anne Island - Curieuse
The boat will set off in the early morning for Curieuse island, an uninhabited island that used to be a leper colony, and is these days home to giant tortoises. Your tour guide will lead us to a tortoise farm, passing through mangrove forests. Later on, the tour party will spend some time at the beach, enjoying a delicious barbeque under the trees. In the afternoon, explore the beach and the ocean as you please, before the boat will set down its anchor for the night.
Day 3 (Monday): Curieuse - Cousin - Anse Lazio
In the morning the boat will set sail for Cousin Island. Here, you have the option of visiting the bird sanctuary. All in all, around 250 000 birds nest on this island, and there are also several nesting beaches for tortoises and turtles. In the afternoon, the boat will head to Praslin and the famous Anse Lazio, one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. If you like, you can try out some watersports, snorkelling, or diving here. This is also where the boat will set down its anchor for the night.
Day 4 (Tuesday): Anse Lazio - Aride - St. Pierre - Baie St. Anne
On Tuesday, the boat will head to Aride Island in the morning. The optional excursion leads you to the island's highest point, where you can enjoy a spectacular view of the surrounding ocean. Aride is home to some unique bird species, including the Audubon Shearwater and the Seychelles Reed Warbler. At noon, the crew will set sail for St. Pierre Island. You should arrive on the island after lunch for a three-hour snorkelling and swimming pause. At sunset, the boat will leave St. Pierre and sail across to Baie St. Anne on Praslin. Here, you will anchor for the night and enjoy a Creole night with the rest of the tour party.

Since there were only 19 passengers on board, the number of crew exceeded that of guests. With Christer we had the best supervisor you can imagine. Not only did he give us outstanding support when we arrived with a missing PCR test, but he was also a highlight throughout the tour. Under a crew that earned the grade 1, he got the 1+ with an asterisk ;-) The islands served were great, as was the catering on board. The prices for drinks were also reasonable.
