A tale of three Islands is a combination of Seychelles' most famous island highlights. The first stop today is a one-hour guided tour of Cousin Island, a picturesque reserve for a wide range of fauna, including doves and giant tortoises. It is also a conservation success story that has rescued important endemic wildlife from extinction. After exploring Cousin, continue to Curieuse Island, located off Praslin's northern coast. Curieuse is the only place, apart from the Vallée de Mai, where the legendary Coco de Mer grows wild. Here, spend some time swimming and relaxing before enjoying a tasty BBQ lunch on the beach. After lunch, take a one-hour guided tour through Curieuse's nature reserve, visiting the ruins of its ancient leper colony and the newly refurbished 'Doctor's House', which is now a charming museum. The island trail meanders through a mangrove forest teeming with wildlife towards the impressive lagoon of Baie Laraie where you may see small sharks and turtles. Leaving Curieuse behind, visit Sainte Pierre for a wonderful snorkelling experience to see a myriad of fish and colourful coral formations. Return to La Digue late this afternoon. This tour operates on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

Travel by boat to Praslin to visit the primeval glade of Praslin's legendary Vallée de Mai, where the world-renowned Coco de Mer, the world's largest nut, grows high on ancient 40-metre palms. General Gordon of Khartoum believed this mysterious forest to be the original site of the Garden of Eden with the Coco de Mer as its forbidden fruit. A guided tour along the Vallée's well-marked paths reveals an array of species living there from amongst the carpet of leaves of the forest floor to the canopy above including frogs, lizards, stick insects, chameleons, 6 species of endemic palm, and the Seychelles black parrot - one of the rarest birds to be found anywhere on earth. Continue to Anse Lazio, widely recognised as one of the world's most glorious beaches. At leisure enjoy the powder-soft sands and clear azure waters of one of Seychelles' premier landmarks before returning to La Digue late this afternoon. Tour departs daily.
