Full Day Praslin Tour - Connecting from / to Mahe island
by Air: Visitors wishing to devote more time to tour Praslin island in greater
comfort will find this excursion most suitable. The second largest island
in the Seychelles archipelago, Praslin island is only 15 minutes by air from
Mahe. The tour starts with a visit to the unique site where exquisite black
pearls are cultured at the only oyster farm in the Indian Ocean, to view the
display of the art of cultivating pearls in the Black Lip Pearl Oyster, as
well as the breeding and feeding of the Giant Clam species (Tridacna maxima);
and, of course, the black pearls are on sale in the on-site jewellery shop.
The tour continues on to the Vallee-de-Mai, unique primeval home of the giant
Coco-de-Mer nut and the rare Black Parrot. The next stop is a delicious Creole
lunch before proceeding to Anse Lazio, voted amongst the world's Top 10 beaches
by Conde Nast readers. Altogether a relaxing and pleasurable day.
