Embark on a memorable island hopping experience and discover three extraordinary islands just off the coast of Praslin. This well-balanced full-day excursion combines unique wildlife encounters, fascinating history and stunning beaches, all brought to you by the experienced team of Barracuda Boat Charter. Your journey begins at Cousin Island, a strictly protected nature reserve where rare endemic birds, nesting seabirds and hawksbill turtles flourish undisturbed. Accompanied by a knowledgeable guide, you step into a world dedicated entirely to conservation, where nature sets the rhythm and wildlife takes centre stage. On Curieuse Island, giant tortoises roam freely beneath the takamaka trees, creating unforgettable close-up encounters. A freshly prepared Creole BBQ awaits, followed by time to soak up the island’s laid-back atmosphere. Wander through the remains of the former leper colony, explore mangroves and coastal trails, or simply unwind on a powdery beach framed by shimmering turquoise waters. The finale awaits at the tiny islet of St. Pierre, a picture-perfect granite rock rising from the ocean. Slip into the clear, warm sea and snorkel among vibrant fish and colourful coral, surrounded by panoramic views of Praslin’s coastline, including the iconic Anse Lazio and Anse Georgette.
