About This Journey

The Seychelles is an archipelago of 115 islands in the Indian Ocean — a tropical paradise of granite boulders, powder-white sand, and turquoise waters. This journey takes you to three islands: Mahé, the largest with its mountainous interior; Praslin, home to the legendary Vallée de Mai; and La Digue, where ox-carts replace cars and time stands still. Snorkel with tropical fish, hike through primeval forests, savor Creole cuisine, and simply exist in one of the most beautiful places on Earth.
