Trip details
From Praslin, set sail for the unforgettable Curieuse island. During the 30-minute crossing from Praslin to Curieuse, you'll first enjoy views of three spectacular beaches: Anse Kerlan, Anse Georgette and Anse Lazio.
The first stop is usually at Anse Jose* – a perfect opportunity for sunbathing! From here, you can also access the Doctors House Museum*, which teaches you about the history of the island and the old leprosy establishment.
A 45-minute hike over the hills and in the mangroves will follow*. Cross Curieuse Island and discover its lush fauna and flora en route to Baie Laraie Beach. Along the way, get to meet some of the free-roaming giant Aldabra tortoises; the island is home to hundreds of them!
After such an adventure, a meal is always welcome! For an additional charge, you can choose to enjoy a delicious creole BBQ lunch with cold beverages served at the beach. For those on a tighter budget or with specific dietary restrictions, the tour can be booked without lunch, giving you more free time to relax on the beach.
Spend some time with the giant tortoises before heading out on the boat for some snorkelling. Visit up to two specially selected areas, including St Pierre Island - also known as Robinson Crusoe Island - to give you the best snorkelling experience.
Should you have any questions about the tour, please don't hesitate to contact us.
