The Most Beautiful Impressions of the Seychelles
Yacht Praslin Dream Yacht DreamThe catamaran tour through the Seychelles was the best boat trip of my life. Everything was simply perfect, starting with the catamaran, which was much more spacious than I had expected from the descriptions. Although I was travelling alone, the other guests were also pleasantly surprised by the spacious cabins. I have stayed in much smaller and less comfortable cabins on other boats. The cleanliness on board was also excellent, with nothing to complain about. The cabins were cleaned every day, which cannot always be taken for granted, as I have experienced otherwise in the past.
The crew on board were always cheerful and extremely helpful. I must particularly mention our chef, who cooked superbly. The fresh tuna tartare was especially magnificent, as was everything else he prepared for us. Everyone on board is already eagerly awaiting the cookbook he is currently writing.
Cousin Island
The island is a nature reserve and bird sanctuary. It is home to rare birds found only in the Seychelles, as well as several giant tortoises.
La Digue
The island is excellent for exploring by bicycle. The beaches Petite Anse and Anse Cocos are particularly recommended, as they are wonderful places to unwind in peace. They are a little difficult to reach, as you have to cross some hills, but in return you will have the long sandy beach almost entirely to yourself.
The famous Anse Source d'Argent is very beautiful for taking photographs, but it is already extremely crowded by 10:00 in the morning.
Praslin
Here we visited a pearl farm and afterwards went to Vallée de Mai National Park, where you can admire the world’s largest seed, the ‘Coco de Mer’.
Grande Sœur
This was the most beautiful island I had ever seen, and its beach was also the most beautiful in the Seychelles. We enjoyed a barbecue on the beach and took in the wonderful offshore reef and the gorgeous beach. The free-roaming giant tortoises here were also particularly friendly.
Curieuse
This island serves as a breeding centre for giant tortoises. Here we saw tortoises of every age, from the very young to the very old. From the Giant Tortoise Farm, we walked across the island to Anse St Jose, passing through the mangrove swamp there.
Saint Pierre
A beautiful little rocky islet with palm trees. It is an excellent place for snorkelling, where you can discover beautiful fish, sea turtles and corals.
I can wholeheartedly recommend the catamaran trip to anyone who wants to truly experience the Seychelles. You discover many small and large islands that you would not otherwise get to see. The various beaches and coral reefs were simply a dream.
Resort Savoy Resort & Spa
Choosing this accommodation was an excellent decision. The rooms are very spacious, luxuriously furnished and spotlessly clean. I stayed on a half-board basis and can highly recommend it. I cannot understand some of the reviews concerning the food. There was a variety of dishes, and they were all delicious. There was also a live cooking station serving different international and local dishes every day.
The pool and Beau Vallon beach are excellent places to unwind and relax. The weekly market at Beau Vallon is also worth mentioning. As my return flight did not depart until late in the evening, I was able to store my luggage securely and continue using all the hotel’s facilities. In the evening, I was able to shower in the spa and get ready for my journey home. The hotel provided extremely friendly and helpful service. All in all, I can only recommend this hotel.
Transfer
I was met directly at the airport by Creole Travel Service and given information about all transfers during my stay in the Seychelles, including the dates and times. I can wholeheartedly recommend the transfer service. At first, I had intended to organise everything myself, but booking the transfer through SeyVillas before travelling was the better decision.
