Mahé
Day 1
Day 1 Sunday: Arrival on Mahé Island - La Digue Island Welcome to the Seychelles 🏝️🐠! A dream came true! We arrive at Mahé Island International Airport (SEZ) and depending on the day and time of your arrival, you can either explore Victoria, the capital city of the Seychelles archipelago, or make your way straight from the airport to the ferry berth, where we meet at around 10 am (details will be provided a few weeks before departure). There is a shuttle bus running directly from the airport to the port, which is included in this itinerary (bus ticket is only valid on this day). Shortly after we meet, our ferry to La Digue Islands departs. On board, we have time to get to know our fellow TripMates and you receive a detailed introduction into what to look forward to during the next 12 days 🙂! INCLUSIVE ✅ 7 nights in a spacious house in twin rooms on La Digue Island. One of the TripMates has the chance to stay in a private room. The lucky one is determined by random drawing. ✅ Shuttle bus ticket from airport to ferry berth ✅ Ferry ticket Mahé - La Digue (please note, luggage allowance on all ferries is 25 kg + hand luggage. If you have more, let me know and it can be arranged for an additional fee)

La Digue
Day 1-6
Day 2 - 6 Monday to Friday: Explore and enjoy La Digue Island + tropical beaches La Digue is a perfect spot to relax, dive and snorkel, swim, cycle, hike, and simply enjoy the tropical beaches. This island is fairly small and famous for its car free policy, so we have clear and pristine air and water around. Almost every citizen owns a bike, and almost every tourist rents a bike to explore the island. Our apartment has rental bikes as well (for a small fee), so we can discover the island on wheels like locals do! Along with the most beautiful snorkelling and diving spots, the island offers white sandy beaches only minutes away from our accommodation. There are more hidden and wild beaches further out on the east side of the island and we will definitely take a walk or ride down there! Furthermore, the Veuve Special Nature Reserve, which forms part of a 200 hectare plateau, is located only 15 minutes walk from our house. The peak offers wonderful panoramic views over the turquoise ocean and green forest. Those who enjoy hikes in an ancient tropical forest undoubtedly will fall in love with it! This is just a suggestion for the days and it is totally up to you whether you like to join me and the group or spend evenings by the beach. Please note that Veuve Special Nature Reserve opens Monday to Saturday only (extra conservations fees apply). So try not to miss the chance to visit this area if you enjoy being active outdoors! We will experience some really awesome island hopping in the next few days! INCLUSIVE ✅ guided skill sharing sessions (feel free to join!) ✅ yoga sessions in the garden or on the beach in the evenings ✅ organised hike to Veuve Special Nature Reserve

Curieuse
Day 6-7
Day 6 Friday: Explore Curieuse Island and the Tortoise Sanctuary We set over to Praslin Island with the earliest ferry and take a private chartered boat to Curieuse Island. Curieuse island is a very special experience for many reasons! Some endemic birds and a colony of Aldabra giant tortoises inhabit this small island and the world’s biggest nut, the legendary Coco de Mer, grows only here and on Praslin Island naturally. We visit the Tortoise Sanctuary, where tortoises are nurtured until they are five years old, and then released into the wild. You can feed the animals and take really lovely pictures with them as well. A beautiful mangrove swamp is another highlight of Curieuse island. We walk on a boardwalk built on pillars that goes through the swamp, allowing us to access the mangrove habitat even at high tide. We can wander around and enjoy the whole day on the island before we depart and take the last ferry back to La Digue in the afternoon. INCLUSIVE ✅ Day trip to Curieuse Island with transfer and conservation fee ✅ Curieuse Tortoise Sanctuary entry ticket

Praslin
Day 7-8
Day 7 Saturday: Explore Praslin Island Let's set out for another wonderful day trip to the second-largest Natural Reserve of the Seychelles, The Praslin National Park. It is part of the UNESCO world heritage site ‘Vallee de Mai’ and due to some rare species like the Black Parrot and the naturally growing Coco de Mer palm tree, loved amongst tourists and locals alike. If you like, you can join me and the others on a walk along the less touristic Glacis Noire Trail up the top of the mountain from where all the surrounding islands, such as La Digue, Ile Ronde and Felicite can be seen (trail fee currently around 8 € and not included). Alternatively, there are beautiful pristine beaches on this island to explore. After the morning hike, we can relax on a sandy beach and enjoy local seafood and fish. The last ferry back to La Digue Island departs in the late afternoon. INCLUSIVE ✅ Day trip to Praslin Island with transfer and conservation fee

Mahé
Day 8-12
Day 8 Sunday: Explore La Digue - ferry to Mahé Island Today is our last day on the paradise beaches of La Digue. You can decide whether you like to join a group activity such as cycling around the island, snorkelling or hiking, or you simply like to take a day off by the beach. We take the ferry back to Mahé in the afternoon and spend the next 4 nights as a group in a guesthouse with magnificent views of the white sandy beaches. Day 9 - 12 Monday to Thursday: Chill out and explore Mahé Island Mahé Island is the most populated island of the 115 atolls of the Seychelles. It harbours the capital city Victoria and the biggest terrestrial park, Morne Seychellois. There are beautiful spots to snorkel or dive and if you enjoy outdoors, we can organise a visit to the hilly Morne Seychellois (conservation fee and hiking fee apply extra). Furthermore, on one of the afternoons I organise a trip to a traditional Creole village (where we can see an original colonial plantation house dating back to 1870). On the same afternoon and after exploring the village, we take part in a guided tour to a rum distillery, that produces the local and famous Takamaka rum that is a local product of the Seychelles and that you can taste and buy here. Take a bottle home for yourself or as a souvenier for your loved once! Wednesday afternoon we visit the weekly open-air Beau Vallon beach market. Delve into the delicious specialities that locals sell here and let`s cheer with a fruity cocktail to 12 wonderful days together before departure! We will definitely enjoy our last four days of paradise on Mahe island and soak up the culture and beauty of the Seychelles! Day 12 Thursday: Last day of the tour and departure Depending on the time of your flight, you can join the group for breakfast in a nearby beach café and enjoy the rest of the day simply sunbathing on the beach. Today, unfortunately, we already say goodbye to our newly found friends. My flight is in the late evening and for me there will be a full day for additional activities or chill out time with the group 🙂. I hope to meet you on this once-in-a-lifetime adventure and chill-out island hopping on the tropical Seychelles!
