Backed by palmed trees, this scenic, white-sand beach with aqua water is a popular snorkeling spot.
Slide 1 of 8
A great beach or beaches if you prefer - there are a few more coves farther on. Easy access, good facilities, a not too expensive beach bar serving decent food. As for the Seychelles it's very good.
One of the most beautiful beaches on the islands. Not too many people, nice beach bars, palms, granite boulders, nice waves to add some fun. Just beware of the local palm climbers, they are fun and will climb the palms in front of you in a rather spectacular manner, but will try to overcharge you for the coconuts.
On of the best and most beautiful beaches on Praslin. Quite busy. We went there with the bus. It’s a 1km walk from the bus stop. There are also a parking lot (not for free) very near to the beach.
PERFECT FOR SNORKELING - SHARKS, TURTLELS ETC Very beautiful beach and suitable for snorkeling. I saw a turtle as well as a around 1,20m long shark in belly deep water. Further to the west side of the beach are the typical boulders and very nice possibilities to snorkel. There is also an information that it is a shark pupping area. So be a bit careful.
One of the Top Ten beaches in Seychelles. Period. Fun fact : the local businesses placed their advertisements in a way, that arriving tourists may miss some interesting notice from Seychelles Maritime Safety Authority 🤣🦈
Very nice beach, middle long, but there is too much people, for me. I appreciate nearby restaurants, possibility of sunbeds, wifi. The parking is for payment. If you are looking for services and nice beach, this is the one you will be satisifed with.
Absolutely stunning beach with white powdery sand and a very laid back atmosphere. Come early morning before the minibuses arrive at 9.30 to have the beach to yourself. It’s also a magical sunset spot. One negative thing; as always tourists leave their crap everywhere so be prepared to see hundreds of discarded coconuts with (paper) straws and paper food boxes. Surely they’re all biodegradable but it doesn’t make the place prettier. Everyone: please take your rubbish and/or dispose off it properly!!
This is certainly one of the most beautiful beaches in the Seychelles. And it’s a great place for charter boats to anchor overnight.

Lush, 19.5-hectare preserve with an ancient forest of Coco de Mer palm trees & many endemic animals.
Slide 1 of 8
Gorgeous nature reserve. We cycled there from Coco De Mer. I would not recommend cycling there unless you are very fit and an experienced cyclists. Take the bus or hire a car instead. The reserve was gorgeous. We saw birds, lizards, snails, lots of spiders and a tenrec (which was super cute) If its a cloudy, wet or windy day, I would definitely suggest going. We did it without the tour and were perfectly happy going around ourselves.
We visited Vallée de Mai on a rainy day, and it was magical. Despite the rain, we stayed completely dry — the enormous jungle leaves created a natural umbrella over the entire trail. It felt like walking through a prehistoric world, surrounded by lush greenery and the unique beauty of the coco de mer palms. We chose the longest trail, about an hour and a half, and it was a peaceful, easy walk through this stunning UNESCO-listed forest. A beautiful, calming experience — perfect even in the rain. 🌿🌧️✨ After the walk, we had coffee at the on-site bar, but it wasn’t particularly impressive — there are much better spots for coffee elsewhere on the island. Still, the nature experience itself was unforgettable and well worth the visit. 🌴☕🌧️
Visiting this place is a lifetime experience. The coco de mer trees are absolutely unreal, there are other rare species of trees as well. The uniquely shaped coco de mer seeds are something that one will never see anything similar anywhere. We were very lucky to spot the black parrots too, also spotted the geckos.
Praslin’s iconic Coco de Mer sanctuary is a must-see. Within the park, visitors can explore three distinct trails of varying lengths. If you're lucky, you might also spot fascinating wildlife such as chameleon, gekko or the rare black parrot.
Breathtaking Nature Reserve- Vallée de Mai is a must-visit in Praslin, Seychelles! This UNESCO World Heritage Site is a stunning nature reserve filled with the iconic coco de mer palms and other endemic species. Walking through Vallée de Mai felt like stepping into a prehistoric forest. The tranquility and beauty of this place are simply unforgettable. If you're in Praslin, don't miss Vallée de Mai. It's a gem of Seychelles with its palm forests and rich biodiversity. Hours: Open from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM. Features: A protected area with endemic coco de mer palms and other unique flora and fauna
Must see of you visit Praslin. Make sure to spend a bit extra on a guided tour because you’ll learn so much more about the coco the mer palm and all the other plants in the forest. And the guide is way better in spotting the wildlife than you’ll ever be.😁
Vallee de Mai is very impressive and diverse. Worth a trip for sure. I recommend to take a guide through Vallee de Mai - just to see as much as possible. And thanks to our guide Dora, she is very nice and friendly and just shared her great knowledge with us. She showed us the different palms, animals and plant. Thanks 😃
Valle de mai is breathtaking natural reserve and a UNESCO World Heritage Site that feels like a true lost world. It’s home to the legendary Coco de Mer palm, which produces the largest and most unique seed in the plant kingdom. The trees themselves are ancient and majestic, and the shape of the nut, famous for its resemblance to the female form, is both symbolic and culturally important to the Seychelles. The Coco de Mer only grows naturally on Praslin and Curieuse islands, making it incredibly rare and protected. It plays a vital role in the local ecosystem and is a key part of Seychellois identity and heritage. To really appreciate its biological and cultural significance, I highly recommend visiting with a knowledgeable guide. They’ll share fascinating insights not just about the Coco de Mer, but also about the rare birds, plants, and legends tied to the forest. Without a guide, it’s easy to miss these stories. The experience is unforgettable and absolutely worth including in your Seychelles trip.

Slide 1 of 8
We've been here with Kreol Services and I can say it was a lovely day, even though the weather was not that great. The walking trip was nice, from one side to another. You'll encounter nice views, lovely trees. If you'll not have clouds, the sun will burn you. You'll also see a large amount of tortoises at the end of the trip. The barbeque offered by Kreol Services is not that wow. It's cheap, compared with the restaurants on the island, but nothin wow.
Best tour guide from Angel Tours. Our visit to this island was made very worthwhile by these guys. Enjoyed a perfect day with them.
Nice island for one day excursion, randonnée 🥾 a bit hard if you are not sporty. Lots of turtle 🐢
Stunning area, with showers and toilets on the beach. €20 per person to enter. However they have no way of knowing. Stunning beach with breathtaking views
This small island is home to many giant tortoises, as well as beautiful beaches and hiking trails. On Curieuse, one can encounter giant tortoises (also known as Aldabra Tortoise) in their natural environment. There is a separate entry fee to this island, which was included in the tour package. The Geoli Charters tour dropped us at one end of the island and picked us up at the other end. At the starting as well at the end point, well arranged BBQ spots to self-cater were available. One can take a quick shower at the starting point before embarking on the trail. The trail though of moderate difficulty, feels relatively long on an afternoon. The best part of the trail is the boardwalk through mangrove swamps. Plenty of giant tortoises at the start and end spots. White sandy beach at the end where we are picked up by the tour boat, was a welcoming sight.
Must go to take a glance at the ecosystem of the island. Trail hiking at the National Park can offer a picturesque view of the sea. Turtoises are friendly and kind. Some of them love humans. 🐢
Curieuse Island or the Turtle Island. It is closer to the north coast of the island of Praslin.  It was a wet landing here at Curieuse Island as motor boats will drop you till the shallow waters of the beach and not upto the land. Curieuse Island is a protected reserve and has a very high landing fee per visitor – About 800 Seychelles Rupees/ Person. The area is declared as Curieuse Marine National Park to protect the turtles and sea life. The island has mostly rocky beaches and serves as a nesting ground for Aldabra Giant Tortoises. We landed at the Ranger's Station, which as per the caretaker, is home to about 250 Aldabra Giant Tortoises. They also rear the young ones under protected environment. We saw a lot of tortoises roaming freely around the park. There is a small beachside restaurant also, and one can find some tortoises lazying around there too. It was a great afternoon spent admiring these lazy and beautiful creatures. The park has a trail which leads you to the Doctor’s house and its beach ie at Anse St. Joseph. Its a very beautiful beach by the way...you can easily spend some hours here. Along the trail enroute to Anse St. Joseph beach from ranger station, we saw some Coco- de –Mer trees and giant takamaka trees as well.
Must see spot in Seychelles 🇸🇨 It was an amazing full-day excursion from Praslin. Giant tortoises are adorable. Mangrove forest is good too, but please do not go to Doctor’s House it's not worth it. The trail is about 2.5km one way through the forest and rocks. The local museum is just a few roll-ups with the text from Wikipedia. You can skip this spot and spend more time with the tortoises.

This secluded, white-sand beach with aqua water is accessed through the Constance Lemuria resort.
Slide 1 of 8
One of the best beaches I have ever been to- in the world. It is absolutely beautiful and so serene. Even the locals recommended this beach. We went there one morning. You have to pass through the Lemuria golf resort and they don’t make it easy. You have to walk for almost 25-30 minutes one way and have to go uphill and downhill. So it is quite strenuous and at one point, honestly, I was super annoyed and thought this could be worth it. But it was. Worth every drop of sweat! There was no one but us. We had the whole beach to ourselves and it was so peaceful. We had a really great time here. Drones are not allowed here because of the proximity to the airport. But either way, don’t miss this beach when in Praslin.
Very nice beach! Would totally recommend to come here. Be sure to register at the hotel in advance! Ask your hotel to do it (they’ll know).
Must visit in Seychelles. I will never forget this beach and hiking in the most beautiful golf site in the world. I felt like I am in the heaven. Definitely worth 30 minutes hiking because that hiking itself is precious experience
One of the best. In May there were pretty big waves and strong sea currents, but it is a spectacular view. 25 min away from the parking place, you have to ask to Lemuria resort in order to pass through their resort.
It’s a beautiful beach, not too crowded, takes about 20 minutes walk up and down a golf course. Parking is free at the entrance of the golf club/hotel. There is a guy selling coconut and fruits, so be prepared to have cash on you. You also need to cover up while walking through the grounds.
The beach is simply breathtaking. The turquoise water and white sand create a mesmerizing scene. The untouched beach, surrounded by cliffs and trees, adds an element of privacy. Apart from one stall, there's no food or drinks available, so it's recommended to bring your own. Additionally, the entrance is through a hotel, and the walk within the hotel to the beach takes about half an hour.
Very lovely and gorgeous beach, with beautiful white sand and crystal clear water. When we visited there were some waves, but it was really good for swimming and lying around. On the way here you need to go through the hotel’s golf course, and you need to call a hotel a day before to register for a visit. The walk is very light, 15 mins through the golf courses.
The beach is simply breathtaking. It's a 15 minutes walk from the hotel entrance but absolutely worth it ! Personally think best beach on Praslin, take some snacks and drinks with you !

The beach is very nice because it’s long, it offers you a lot of places with natural shade and some stunning views. Very quite, beautiful, romantic!
Visited praslin for a day trip for my birthday from mahe. We were recommended this beach by a juice bar at the port. Short bus journey & oh my this beach is absolutely stunning. Very quiet white sands crystal turquoise waters . The sea was so warm! Saw rays swimming in the shallow waters!! Stumbled across a bar & take away Leo's, tucked away on the beachfront. What a find!! Absolutely stunning place to visit shame we only had a few hours to spend there. Will return in the future but book an overnight stay. An absolute must
I liked this beach best on Praslin. No expensive parking fees, supermarkets km walking distance (for fresh, cool drinks), lots of space on the beach, plenty of shade if needed and good water
This was one of our favorite beaches in Praslin and the entire Seychelles.The water has the most beautiful turquoise color, the sand is soft like flour, and the beach is wide and peaceful, with no crowds at all. The only small downside is the number of stingrays, so you need to be a bit careful when swimming. Other than that – absolutely stunning place 🤍
It's a pretty albeit flat and long beach without any granite boulders. Very easy access to water and calm sea. Recommended for vacationers with small children.
We were in July here and it’s the best beach on Praslin. White sand, almost no people and turquoise water, very clean.
Average beach for me. But there is a lot of restaurants, take-aways.
Cote d'Or Beach is absolutely stunning and easily deserves five stars! The beach stretches along soft, powdery white sand with crystal-clear waters perfect for swimming and relaxing. It's a lively yet peaceful spot with plenty of restaurants and grocery shops just steps away, making it convenient for visitors. However, be prepared for high prices – even basic goods at the local shops can be surprisingly expensive. That said, the beauty of the beach and the variety of dining options nearby make it well worth the visit. It’s one of the best spots in Praslin for a laid-back beach day!

(Translated by Google) Very nice beach. You have to walk a few meters beforehand, but it's worth it. There are a few rocks in the water, but in the middle of the beach you can also go without bathing shoes. The waves are not completely harmless near the rocks, but are no problem for experienced snorkelers. (Original) Sehr schöner Strand. Man muss vorher ein paar Meter gehen, aber es lohnt sich. Im Wasser sind ein paar Felsen, aber in der Mitte des Strandes geht es auch ohne Badeschuhe. Die Wellen sind in der Nähe der Felsen nicht völlig ungefährlich, für geübte Schnorchler kein Problem.

Me and my wife have used Sagittarius a 3 times and have been great. Communication was perfect from the start, I asked quite a few questions and was never a problem, we went to curieuse island and Kevin was great, really funny and boat over was great. We also did the snorkeling round coco, felicite and sister islands and was really good to, sorry can't remember the captains name, but he kept the boat with us so felt really safe the entire time and he was also a good laugh. Will definitely use Sagittarius again next time we go.
A very warm recommendation for this taxi boat service. For a fair price the most amicable skipper named Kevin took us to Curieuse and back again. We agreed on a time for a pickup and it worked swimmingly. On the way back Kevin drove the boat next to St. Pierre for sightseeing as a bonus.
Great service from start to finish. Friendly guides. Fantastic barbecue lunch provided at Curieuse, couldn't have imagined Creole cuisine could be any better. August is high tide season and the seas are rough and many boat agencies gave up doing Cousin during these days. However, Sagittarius made it work calculatively subject to safety and rough weather. We experienced huge tides in the snorkeling area and enjoyed the best we good. Francoise was very welcoming and was instantly responsive, was easy to contact her through fb messenger and the booking was easily done.
The Best experiencia that I have in Praslin, and Mahé. They are trustable people with a great advises. Kevin and Francois are the most nice persons that we meet, and he bring us to a special sport in Curious Island, were we see turtels, moon fishes and thousant of tropical fishes.
So finally I got a chance to write the recommendations 🌼 We were going to Praslin in January for our wedding day. During our stay we experienced everyday many weird locals walking at the beach trying to sell the trips on boat. The main goal of these local guys is to steal money from you and no trip guaranteed (they usually use money for buying drugs). One they walking on the beach we came across to Sagitarius, Kevin and Francoise!! Such a professional approach. They are trustworthy, experienced, reliable and mainly very friendly and willing! I have to HIGHLY recommend these guys! Just contact them either before your trip to Praslin or if you are on island and I am sure you will be very satisfied! 💛
We had the best day with you guys! I just can recommend it to anyone who wants to explore the smaller islands! They make an excellent bbq too! Definitely will return next time when on Seychelles!!
I visited Curieuse and St. pierre with Kevin from Sagittarius and had a great experience. The group was small (4 people in total) on a small, yet neat and tidy boat. This meant being picked and dropped ashore :) Kevin speaks Italian and is helpful and super friendly . He showed us the best spot where to do snorkelling, then gave us plenty of free time and showed us the pick up spot for when he would be back to pick us up again. He gave flexibility on pick up time. Euros as well as SCR are accepted for payments. Card payment also possible. I would definitely repeat and recommend the experience with Sagittarius.
We took the taxi boat to reach Curieuse island for the giant tortoises. They also have the option for a longer tour which includes a barbeque on the island, but we wanted to get straight to the point. We set 11 AM for next day, and they were prompted. On the island we had to meet in a different location than the drop-off, and on time they arrived with our boat shuttle to Anse D'or . I liked the services.

We had the absolute pleasure of having Ryan Savy from Coconut Services as our tour guide during our visit to Praslin, Seychelles. Ryan is truly one of the nicest and most genuine people we have ever met. After spending an amazing day touring Praslin with Ryan, we agreed to pay him in cash. However, when I tried to withdraw money from the MCB ATM at Praslin Domestic Airport around 5:00 PM, things took a bad turn. The ATM suggested withdrawing a slightly lower amount (SCR 2,800 instead of SCR 2,850), and when I agreed, it unexpectedly retained my card and instructed me to contact the nearest branch. This Forex card was our only means of transaction in Seychelles, and with a full day trip scheduled next morning, I was stressed. I returned to Ryan and explained the situation. Without any hesitation, he came with me back to the ATM, spoke with a security personnel, and helped us figure out the next steps. He advised us to visit the bank first thing in the morning and showed so much understanding and patience. Even though I offered him a partial cash payment (as I had some cash left), Ryan refused politely and told us not to worry — that he would come the next evening to collect the payment instead. Thanks to his advice and support, we visited the bank early the next day, got our card back, withdrew the money, and paid Ryan later in the evening as promised. To top it off, Ryan even dropped us at the jetty the following morning for our ferry to La Digue! Throughout the tour, Ryan’s deep knowledge about Praslin, its culture, and its nature made the experience incredibly memorable. His kindness, professionalism, and true hospitality made a huge difference to our trip. We HIGHLY recommend Ryan Savy and Coconut Services if you are visiting Praslin — and if you’re not, Praslin is absolutely worth a visit, especially with Ryan as your guide!
We had a great experience with this taxi service! Ryan was always available and responded very quickly. He was punctual, extremely friendly, and even accommodated our last-minute route change without any problems. We can absolutely recommend this service and would be happy to use it again anytime! Thank you so much, Ryan!
We had booked two trips with coconut. Communication was quick and easy. The driver was always punctual, reliable and friendly. The prices were great for a large-capacity cab. We can definitely recommend coconut and would book with them again.
Great experience. Unlike other travel guys / companies in Praslin which offered higher transfer fares than the one posted on their sites, we've had an fair, hussle free interaction with Coconut Services. Punctual, car in great condition. 100% recommended!
Very well organised company, Ryan was kind and helpful. He waited for us to pick us up and took to our hotel from the jetty, for very reasonable price compared to the other taxi companies. Car is comfortable and Ryan is very friendly and good driver. We booked service online day before our trip
On time, fair price, clean vehicle, safe … we booked Ryan’s 7 seater for hotel/CatCocos transfer. And he’s a nice guy to chat to …
Shout out to Ryan ! We were looking for a big & safe VAN and we got it. We were looking for on time services and we got it. Great attitude and brilliant service !
Perfect service. Rayan is very helpful and enterprising and provided us with maximum support during our stay on Praslin. All recommendations.

We were warmly welcomed at the Praslin Museum and started right away by feeding the bats and tortoises – such a unique and fun experience! Afterwards, we were shown various plants and received lots of interesting explanations. One of the highlights was the coconut demonstration – we got to drink the fresh coconut milk and eat the fruit. The Aloe Vera and vanilla farms are also lovely to see. Later, we enjoyed a delicious fresh juice and had the chance to purchase a variety of farm-made products. We chose the rum and curry powder. At the end, we were offered a bowl of fresh fruit, and I was even allowed to feed the animals again upon request. For 180 SR per person, you really get a lot for your money here! One small downside: after almost every explanation, there was a reminder that the product was available for purchase – at times, it felt a bit like a sales tour. That said, the young lady who led the tour was incredibly kind and spoke excellent English and French. Overall, a highly enjoyable and recommended experience!
The experience is definitely worth the entry fee. The host was very nice and showed us a lot of interesting things. We also received fresh juices, fruit platter and coconut. We had a very unique Seychellois experience, where we could immerse ourselves in local culture and biodiversity. The only less pleasant part was that we felt “pushed” to buy some products that are being sold at the museum.
Amazing experience! We had such a wonderful time at the museum in Praslin. It was fascinating to see the fruit bats up close and learn so much about the local tropical life — from feeding the giant tortoises to discovering how cinnamon, vanilla, and coffee are grown and processed. We also learned about aloe vera, passion fruit, mango, papaya, and even the famous “takamaka” tree. Our guide, Hilka Esther, was incredibly energetic, knowledgeable, and full of positive vibes. She presented everything with such passion and ended the tour with a joyful song and dance — truly talented! Highly recommended experience!
Hidden gem in Praslin. Not your regular historical museum. Must visit for all ages. Below you can see various experiences you can enjoy: - Hand feeding the fruit bats - Learn and try how to open a coconut, then drink and grate it. - Feeding giant tortoises and rabbits - See how vanilla, passion fruit, papaya, aloe vera and multiple other plants are grown - Visit an old traditional kitchen and see their tools - Taste some fresh fruits and listen to a few live songs by the lovely guides. They also welcomed us for another free visit any time during our holiday. We actually went a 2nd time to take some videos and photos.
You’re not going to fall asleep here! A little chaotic but in a wonderful way. They will serve you fruit and coconuts straight from the garden which tastes amazing. After feeding some lovely bats, tortoises and rabbit you get some marriage advice and skin care routines to bring it all home. All in all one of the few museums that I’ll be able to bring back my fiancé too 😂
We had such a wonderful and informative tour with Hilke today! She explained everything so well and showed us so many amazing plants and animals. She also made the experience really fun for our kids. The local products available there are fantastic. We’ll definitely be back!
This is not like a regular museum but more of a cultural immersive experience. We fed Fruit Bats, turtles , rabbits and pigeons. Coconut water, fruits and Juice were provided. Aloe Vera and Vanilla plantations were shown. It was a great experience for our kid... but It could be slightly better with few more stories and info about the Natural history of Praslin as its the only museum there. Another major gap was that it shows Saturday, Sunday was closed but the museum was open. Hope it can be corrected in google
We visited this site today, and had a great experience there. Hika, the guide and the owner of the place were informative, and friendly. I could feed the bats and tortoises. Then, we had a tour in the garden, learnt about the plants and the traditional kitchen. Finally, a tasty seasonal fruit smoothie was served, accompanied with plate of fruits. Optionally, you even can order home made ice cream and any of their products. We chose vanilla ice cream which was great, and bought a pocket of vanilla cafe.

Me and my girlfriend went on a trip with geoli charters and it was such an amazing experience! The package includes drinks, entrance fees, food and all the snorkeling gear you needed. The staff was incredibly resourceful and had expert knowledge of the area! The food was legendary and seeing the seaturtles was one of the absolute highlights. They knew where the best snorkeling spots were, the pickup and drop-off were seamless. This was no ordinary trip, this was a perfect day with perfect people! Especially the special cocktail at the end was such a nice touch.
Thanks for the private tour to you and Jerry! We had an amazing day, you were both super attentive - the best memories of turtles and dolphins, clear water and natural sights. Highly recommended! Also Liroys communication via whatsapp was super clear
The Geoli’s team is absolutely incredible and even the weather was not perfect, they provide us the best tour that we could imagine. We had the opportunity to see baby shark, ray and even Dolphin, that will be forever engraved in our and kids memories!! Thanks for everything
Very nice agency, our trip to Curieuse island was great. Excellent new boat, knowledgeable and friendly guide, well organized, free drinks on board. All in all great experience! 100% recommend!
Great tour with the team from Geoli Charters, very good organization with friendly and helpful staff. Everything according to plan, amazing snorkeling spots, Curieuse island tour , visiting the turtles pound and a typical creole bbq. Wonderful trip, recommended.
We were picked up by the owner of the business. Very warm person and totally local - he knows the island and the waters inside out. The boat crew was very gentle and there was no commercial pushing. The condition of the boat and snorkeling equipment was impeccable and we felt safe all the way, with very proper guidance. We love the hike in between to snorkeling sessions, including meeting the big turtles. The staff member who guided us on the walk was very knowledgeable with a nice Seychellois twist. On top, the people we met on this tour were so nice - making it all an unforgettable experience. My wife and I can highly recommend Geoli Charters: authentic, nice, easy going, professional - warm. Thanks again!
This tour was amazing. Our skipper (Jimmy) and guide (Benjamin) showed us so many every treasures from praslin. Beautiful (secret) snorkeling spots, that are normally not in the agenda. Ofcourse the delicious bbq at curieuse. And not to forget, we saw multiple whalesharks on two different occasions during the trip. What are you waiting for?
We had such a beautiful day on the boat to Curieuse, St Pierre and another snorkeling spot. Liroy organised it perfect for our family of four. The team on the boat was so nice and the guide give us a good tour on the island. Thank you all. Greetings Miriam and family.

A beautifully set of colonial buildings in a vast area of green land depicting history. There are numerous huts displaying local and regional craft but most of the items of clothing and souvenirs are imported from Far East and China. However, the staff are helpful and ready to answer any questions.
Local artisans selling their stuff, a good place to buy souvenirs for the friends back home. The prices are not very high compared to the rest of the island, but not extremely high quality either.
Was our last stop on the way to the airport. Great place to get some souvenirs and gifts. Plenty of hand made items and some creative memorabilia for the time on the islands.
The local crafts are great to peruse. Don't forget to get some Coco de Mer infused perfume or cologne!
Craft Village is now becoming very popular because of the perfume factory. It is very interesting to see the opening of the cocodermer that is why I like it so much.
Nice place to get your souvenirs but don't miss the local Coco De Mer perfumes in the back!
There's a lot of little shops to browse. Limited range of items. Most quite low quality. However I didn't come across many souvenir shops elsewhere on the island so probably worth popping into. Good parking.
Cute little souvenir boutiques - good if you’re looking for something a bit different to the typical things. When we went some of the stalls were closed, but we are here during off peak season. There’s also a good museum showing a traditional Seychellois house and a Coco de Mer perfumery around the back.

What a wonderful place to visit if you are interested In arts. Many nice paintings and other art from local artists. A must go place in Praslin.
It was very interesting visiting the gallery. Super close to the beach and the entire place is beautifully decorated.The couple who runs it is very sweet. We bought some paintings and can’t wait to hang them up back at home 🙂
Amazing Galerie with such lovely and helpful owners! So happy with the amazing art of Leon Radegonde which will make such a nice addition to our collection. Well worth the visit if in Sychelles!
Great gallery, excellent art and super friendly owners. A visit is a must!
Excellent collection, very vibrant and attractive. Lot of attention to detail and the lady was lovely and very friendly
(Translated by Google) A wonderful gallery with very caring owners. Here you'll find art by local artists, both young, lesser-known artists and well-known Seychelles artists like Michael Adams. You can simply browse, or you can learn a lot about the works on display. The owner also makes beautiful jewelry! We actually just wanted to look around, but we went home with a true work of art. Everything was packaged beautifully. If we come back to the Seychelles, we will definitely stop by the gallery. You can also purchase from home. Thank you Maureen and her husband! (Original) Eine wunderbare Galerie mit sehr liebevollen Inhabern. Hier gibt es Kunst von einheimischen Künstlern, junge, noch nicht so bekannte sowie große, bekannte Künstler der Seychellen wie zum Beispiel Michael Adams. Man kann sich einfach nur umschauen, oder man erfährt sehr viel über die ausgestellten Kunstwerke. Die Inhaberin macht auch wunderschön Schmuck! Eigentlich wollten wir nur gucken, aber sind mit einem wahren Kunstwerk nach Hause gefahren. Es wurde alles super verpackt. Falls wir wieder auf die Seychellen kommen, werden wir definitiv in der Galerie vorbeischauen. Man kann aber auch von zu Hause aus und erwerben. Vielen Dank Maureen und ihrem Mann!
Well mantained and nice stuff but very expensive.
(Translated by Google) At first, you're surprised by the location, but then you discover a very nice exhibition of local artists, in very different styles but of very high quality. Don't hesitate to stop by. (Original) On est d’abord surpris du lieu mais ensuite on découvre une très jolie exposition d’artistes locaux, de styles très différents mais de très bonne qualité. N’hésitez pas à vous y arrêter

We had a great experience dealing with Ziblo! Therese was very helpful explaining everything (and offering us some rum at the end), Elena was a great tour guide telling us all about the island and all of its creatures! We were after just a half day Curieuse experience, which they organised for a very fair price! Perfect day! Thanks to the whole team
We had a fantastic half-day snorkeling trip by boat with Steph and James, organized by the very friendly Elena just for my wife and I. Steph and James picked us up by boat from our own beach, then we went to Grande Soeur, Cocos Island, Felicité, Petite Soeur and Ave Maria. We could swim and snorkel for as long as we wanted, the guys suggested the best places for it, they even provided us with drinks and snacks. Elena took care of the organization, she came by our hotel the night before to discuss our wishes and to arrange the details. She was extremely responsive, helpful and friendly. I’m sure that we’ll go with them again and we can recommend them wholeheartedly.
We had a fantastic tour on Curieuse and St Pierre ! Elena is one of the kindest people I've ever met. The buffet was delicious. The schedule was perfect, there was enough time for everything. I definitely recommend this company!
We did a Curieuse and St Pierre day trip with them. The communication before the tour was very good, Elena advised us on basis of our preferences. On one day before tour, I fell sick and Elena was kind enough to offer help in connecting with the local hospital. She posponed the tour for us. When we went on the tour, we had the best time ever! We felt welcomed and well taken care of. She and her team were professional, on time and knowledgeable about the area. Three out of five people in our group were vegetarian. She catered very well to our dietary needs in the bbq lunch. When we had to go for the snorkelling, she stayed on the boat and took very good care of our 1 yr old child. Kudos to Ziblo Boat Charter for an excellent tour. Their services are very well recommended.
We had the most wonderful day! It was amazing 🥰 10 stars!! The food was excellent, Leslie and James were very nice. We were able to see a sea turtle and a lot of cool fishes in St. Pierre . Thank you so much ❤️
Thank you Elena for an amazing day trip to curiouse and st Pierre island. Everything was perfect. We highly recommend Ziblo for your day trip. Elena, the owner is funny, entertaining and she know her way around the island, she is Italian but she is been living on Praslin for the last 17 yesra. The BBQ was tasty and the fish with the typocal Seychelles salads were very good. Anyone willing to do this kind of day trip should do it with her.
Very good trip. Amazing bbq. Elena and her husband were very friendly. I really recommend this trip.
We took a day trip with Ziblo. Elena and Stephan were so great we knew we had to write a review about them. First, it was a very professional yet super friendly day. All their equipment is highly maintained including the boat, the snorkeling gear, the pickup truck and bbq dishes. A day with Ziblo includes a great and professional explanation regarding the surroundings, the turtles and everything else (I don’t want to spoil so I won’t elaborate), with some great relaxing time on Curieuse island, on one of the most beautiful beaches you’ll ever see. Lunch was great and so fresh. I’m vegan and Elena went nuts to make me a unique dish on top of all the salads and rice and fruits that were served in lunch, beside fresh fish and chicken that my wife said were awesome. Love you guys, thank you so much for an unforgettable day!
