Useful for your trip
- Transport
- Hire a car to explore the island freely. There's mainly one road around the island so you can't get lost, and buses don't seem frequent.
- Transport
- Ferry from Mahe to Praslin takes about an hour. Pick up rental car at the ferry terminal.
- Timing
- Visit Anse Lazio early or at less busy times, as it's the most popular beach on the island but has space to spread out.
- Tip
- Book ahead (free) to visit Anse Georgette beach as it's on private hotel property and visitor numbers are restricted to preserve the experience.
- Tip
- Explore the south side of the island for lesser-known, secluded beaches where you can have beaches to yourself.
- Tip
- There's a small secluded beach just north of Anse Lazio that takes effort to reach but is worth visiting, especially at sunset.
- Tip
- Book a day trip to Curieuse Island to visit the giant tortoise sanctuary. You can feed and stroke the tortoises and the area has unique rock formations.
- Timing
- Plan sunrise or sunset photography at Anse Boudin for spectacular light on the rocks and sand.
- Food
- Eat breakfast at Number One restaurant before heading to Anse Georgette.
- Food
- Stop at L'Rochet restaurant and bar for cold drinks while exploring the south side of the island.
- Tip
- Expect tropical showers that typically last about 30 minutes. The islands are very green and lush due to rainfall.
