Referred to as the Garden of Eden, Praslin, a 60-minute ferry ride from Mahé, is verdant, with a coastline of dreamy beaches and secluded coves: pristine Anse Lazio, and Anse Georgette with its exceptionally soft, white sands. World heritage protected Vallee de Mai nature reserve is famed for its rare Coco de Mer trees, producing the largest seed in the world, vanilla orchids, and the carnivorous pitcher plant. It’s home to the bronze gecko, rare tiger chameleon and many endangered bird species including the black parrot, fruit pigeon and the Seychelles bulbul. From here it is a ten minute boat ride to the marine reserve island of Curieuse, a refuge for 500 or so giant tortoises.
