Curieuse

Start your day off with pick up from your hotel and a convenient transfer to the boat launch point. After a meet and greet by the crew, set off on your adventure at around 9:30 AM.  First, stop for a fantastic 45-minute to 1-hour snorkeling break at one of the chosen locations (dependent on weather and sea conditions). Discover the incredible marine life and colorful underwater world. Then climb back onto the boat and head over to Curieuse Island for the chance to relax a bit on the beach. At 12 PM, continue the experience with a 45-minute guided tour around the island with a crew member. Journey over to the other side of the island where you can sit down to enjoy a Creole BBQ and a local beer. Gaze in awe as giant tortoises roam around you. At 2 PM depart Curieuse Islands and head over to St Pierre where you can take fantastic photographs. Finish the tour at Anse La Farine for a final snorkeling stop. End your day with unforgettable memories of your holiday on Praslin Island. Return to the dock and enjoy a convenient return transfer back to your hotel.

The Curieuse Marine National Park is a sanctuary to a big variety of flora and fauna. On the southern part of the island, you will discover a mangrove swamp that is traversed by a walkway for park visitors. The island is also known for its coco de merpalms, giant takamaka trees, and a large hawksbill turtle rookery. The area is also rich with several bird species, such as the rare Seychelles black parrot Coracopis nigra barklyi, a parrot found only there and on Praslin. St. Pierre Island is a raised reef island west of Providence Atoll and a part of the Farquhar Group, which belongs to the Outer Islands of the Seychelles. It has a distance of 736 kilmometers southwest of the capital, Victoria, on Mahé Island. St. Pierre is a tiny granite islet with a handful of coconut palm trees. It’s a picture-perfect miniature island in the middle of the ocean. St. Pierre is considered as one of Seychelles best snorkeling locations, providing the opportunity to see a wide variety of colorful fish and sea turtles. The full day tour includes a delicious BBQ Lunch as well as soft drinks. You will have opportunities to snorkel and visit these two beautiful islands, and at the conclusion of your experience you will be returned to Praslin.
