Seychelles Irresistible island escapes
If you are planning to travel next summer ….
Seychelles are scattered like exquisite jewels , tiny dabs of intense green fringed with white gold
across the dark, velvety blue expanse of the Indian Ocean. Everything about these islands is beautiful and enticing –
the swaying coconut fronds, sweet scent of frangipani, dramatic violet and orange sunsets, lush plantations and characterful animal life.
The Seychelles’ beaches compete with the best in the world. Amongst all the beaches, Anse Lazio on
Praslin Island deserves a special mention. However, La Digue Island’s Anse Source D’Argent is also worth exploring.
A trip to the Seychelles is never complete without a visit to the Vallée de Mai Nature Reserve on Praslin Island.
This park has been declared as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The unusually beautiful flora and fauna
of this nature reserve draws thousands of visitors to this place as Vallée de Mai is the one and
only place in the world where you will find the rare coco de mer palm.
This palm produces the largest nut in the world. The place is also home to some rare birds such as the Seychelles bulbul, fruit pigeon, and the black parrot.
Aldabra Island in the outer circle of the archipelago has also been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site and
a large population of giant tortoises has made the area a major tourist attraction. However, travelers who are more interested in
indoor attractions, should try the Seychelles Natural History Museum and the National Museum of History.
The island-hopping cruise is a fantastic way to see the Seychelles and I will treasure the memories for life.
The cruise is a great option for couples, families and individuals as you can really discover the Seychelles
in a stress free and luxurious way. The service and staff is second to none and you will be looked after.
In addition to visiting the Seychelles Silhouette Cruises offers a dive safari and a sea kayaking cruise.
