From Praslin: Boat Tour to Cousin, Curieuse & St Pierre with BBQ

What you will expect

FULL DESCRIPTION
Embark on an unforgettable day trip in the Seychelles with our Cousin Island, Curieuse Island, and St. Pierre Snorkeling Tour! Begin your adventure with a scenic boat ride to Cousin Island, a birdwatcher's paradise just 2 km off the coast of Praslin Island. Known for its rich biodiversity, Cousin Island is one of the Indian Ocean’s first sea and island reserves. Designated as a special nature reserve in 1975, this small granitic island offers an amazing opportunity to explore its stunning wildlife habitats. Enjoy a nature trail lasting approximately 2.5 hours, where you’ll encounter various species of birds and other wildlife in their natural surroundings.

After exploring Cousin Island, continue your adventure with a 20-minute boat trip to Curieuse Island. This unique island is home to giant tortoises and an incredible array of biodiversity. As you make your way to Bay Laraie, you’ll be greeted by the friendly tortoises wandering freely around the park. Visitors can even feed these protected animals. The tour continues with a moderate hike through the island's beautiful mangrove forests, granite cliffs, and ruins of a former leper colony. The 2 km trail leads to Anse St. Joseph, where you’ll be rewarded with incredible views of the coastline and natural beauty. At the end of the trail, you’ll visit the Doctor's House, a restored colonial villa, and enjoy a traditional Creole BBQ featuring grilled fish, chicken, salad, and bread.

In the afternoon, the journey continues with a short boat ride to St. Pierre Island, one of the top snorkeling spots in the Seychelles. This tiny granite island, surrounded by crystal-clear waters, is home to a diverse marine ecosystem, including colorful fish and sea turtles. Spend the afternoon snorkeling in the vibrant coral reefs of St. Pierre Island, where you’ll experience the beauty of Seychelles’ marine life firsthand. Afterward, the boat will pick you up and return to your starting point, ending a day full of exploration, history, and adventure in one of the world’s most stunning locations.
