Buying blow La Digue

In March, as many of you might have known from my recent blog and social media posts, I traveled to my dream destination for my 40th birthday. That dream destination was the Seychelles, a tiny nation in the Indian Ocean consisting of islands and home to only 89, people. This place is tropical paradise in every sense. After that there are photos, plenty of photos below , that will take you on a journey through this paradise! The main island is Mahe. We only spent 1 night here as we were more interested in the smaller islands that are home to some of the best beaches but it was still splendid. We spent the evening in Beau Vallon, watching the sunset from the beach, and realizing that, holy crap, we were actually in the Seychelles. The third main island is La Digue and this island is a mere speck. You can bike across the island in less than 20 minutes. More about that below. The atmosphere was also supremely laid-back and everywhere you looked was another breathtaking view, whether it be of white sand, turquoise water, thick jungle or other islands in the distance. There are plenty of other islands too. You can see them everywhere. For our 12 day trip though, we stuck to the above three. The Seychelles is the kind of destination that is, without a doubt, worth every single dollar or euro or pound or kroner you spend on your trip. When I started thinking about a trip to the Seychelles, I assumed this country would be cost-prohibitive for anyone but the wealthiest segment of society. Luckily, this turned out to be completely wrong and so I continued planning. From Europe, on certain charter airlines, you can apparently fly here for as low as Euros return at times. You could also get creative. Flights from Dubai, Qatar and even Nairobi to the Seychelles can be cheap so you could find an inexpensive flight to one of those locations and then another flight onward to the Seychelles. A great breakfast was included too. The Villa was also located in a quiet, secluded corner of the island, only steps away from two awesome beaches, yet it was also only a short distance from everything else we wanted to see on Praslin. Overall, dining can indeed be cheap here and some of the better food we had was actually from these cheaper options. Activities: Beach hopping costs nothing and could keep you busy for weeks in the Seychelles. If you want to take a catamaran trip, go fishing, visit some of the outer islands, etc. Make sure you book your spot in advance though as the ferries do fill up. You can easily book online and print out your tickets. As our flight from Nairobi descended towards the airport in Mahe , islands began appearing below…. The following morning we boarded the ferry to the island of La Digue where we landed in the center of pretty much the only village on the island…. Renting bicycles for the next five days, we biked all over the island, criss-crossing the jungle almost every day…. And then on the other side of La Digue, there was Grand Anse , gorgeous and absolutely ideal for swimming…. Hike along the path behind Grand Anse, up the hill and back down again and you arrive at the even more stunning, Petite Anse …. And every evening, this was the sunset from our balcony, looking straight out at the island of Praslin…. And then there was Anse Lazio , the beach that is always considered one of the best in the Seychelles…. And then the almost too perfect Anse Georgette , which we visited on our final day and which required a decent hike to reach one of several beaches that are only accessible by foot …oh yeah I loved this beach! After visiting Anse Georgette, we made it back to a barely noticeable, 5 meter wide stretch of beach near our guesthouse that offered the most perfect final sunset before we left the Seychelles the following morning…. We left Praslin by plane, flying to Mahe before continuing our onward journey. It was a very small plane and being in the front row afforded us this view…. Any questions? If you need any information about traveling here, just get in touch! New blog posts, honest updates from my 21 years of constant travel, personal recommendations and the best of travel from around the world. Hello Derek, Wonderful information! Thank you! My wife and I are planning to visit in February! Best regards, Colin. Thanks for your tips! Hello Thanks a lot for the detailed information on this blog. We stayed at villa anse la blague and a wonderful time. Told georgette how we followed your blog. Went to all the beaches suggested by you in Praslin and la Digue as well as the other recommendations like take aways. Thanks for sharing Derrick, Nice photos too. Have not been there before. Might know the Hotels Near Seychelles Brewerys? Hey Doreen — Enjoy your trip! Hi derek, hope u doing good, i have a question would u please answer? Travelling as a couple for 10 days, i have heard we need to have dollars per day to get visa on arrival. Will they ask me to show proof? And per person or overall? I mean me and my partner should just carry dollars per day or dollars per day? It will be really helpful if u answer. Thank you. I was only asked for proof of accommodation and proof of outbound flight when I was at immigration. We first head to Praslin for 2 nights, 3 days and take a trip to la digue in the same period. And then head to Mahe. Any economical stay suggestions on Mahe which is close to restaurants and other areas to have to travel less by cab? But I would either stay in Victoria, which has plenty of shops and restaurants or in Beau Vallon, a very beautiful beach area with plenty of places to eat and incredible sunsets! Hi Derek, we are traveling to the Seychelles in March, with my wife and 2 year old , I have some Questions is March a good time of year for the weather and calm seas for snorkeling and swimming. Is there a better side of the island s for that. Our itinerary is 2nights in mahe, 3nights praslin,1night in la digue. Then our last night in mahe do you think or itinerary sounds ok. The islands are all quite small but for snorkeling, most of the good snorkeling requires a boat trip away from the coast. You can easily organize these trips on the island. Based on your itinerary, I would just stay on Praslin and take a day trip to La Digue. The ferry ride from Praslin is only 15 minutes long so just take a full day trip to La Digue so that you have more time on the island and less hassle taking all of your luggage. I really liked your post. I live on La Digue some of the time. Plenty of beer as well following on from last post. I also agree cost of living especially if you do have a roof and only buy food. Not expensive at all. Do people do homestays or similar? Any suggestions? You could definitely do it for much less than that! Credit cards and cash is the way to go over there. If you bring cash, you can exchange dollars or euros into local money. I am planning trip in march or May — Solo trip i want to do in budget.. It would b great help.. Is this true? I am planning to go to Seychelles in month of May, How would be the temperature there, would it be hot or humid. May is a nice time to go, with temperatures around C and not as humid as other periods of the year. Hi Derek.. Hi Derek. Thanks for sharing this. It would be great help. I am planning to go at November? Thanks in advance. Thanks for your post! We are flying already on 23d of June!!! Such a small one, homely, with huge stones, palms and so on. Hey Daria — Congratulations! From Mahe, to Praslin and La Digue, the food, fun activities and scenery was mind blowing. You post brings back a lot of fun memories. Would definitely visit again. Thanks Derek. Wonderful post! On La Digue, can you tell me where you park your bike? Does the rental include a lock? But theft is not exactly an issue on the island as everyone knows everyone and the island is tiny! Wonderful post. Do you think 2 days to travel to and from the island from Johannesburg and then 7 days on the islands is enough? I would like to go to all 3 islands like you did. How would you recommend the time be split up? I know you said the one night on the main island, but how many split between the other 2 islands would you recommend? Doing all three in 7 days would be very rushed and this is definitely not a destination to rush around if you want to appreciate it! Thank you so much for the information and the quick response! I have decided to do a longer trip now! Hi Derek, I am from India. It will be a 10 day trip. We are planning our own trip. We want to do all the water sports activities as well Snorkeling, diving , sight seeing etc. Any other suggestion would be helpful. This does not include accommodation. Also, if you move around a lot, from island to island, the cost will go up as the ferries cost up to 60 Euros per person one way for some routes. Hi Derek, great post, man! I am with tickets already bought to Johannesburg on April and I am deciding to fly to Seychelles or Mauritius. Right now, I am more on the way to Seychelles, as me and my wife enjoy local food, sea food, more virgin places, have contact with locals and so on. It looks more Seychelles than Mauritius. Best wishes, Hugo. Hey Hugo — Definitely go with the Seychelles! As for your questions…. Even if you go to some of the more remote beaches, you can always stop by one of the small take-away restaurants and get a lunch to take with you. But most of the beaches have at least one restaurant nearby as well. No health problems at all and we ate at plenty of local places. The standards on the islands are very high. This depends on where you stay. On La Digue, there was a beach 5 minutes bike ride away, another 10 minutes away and a few that were 20 minutes bike ride away. On Praslin, there were two beaches less than 5 minutes walking away and the other beaches were anywhere from 10 — 30 minutes drive away. If you wanted to make it easier, you could just stay on La Digue and take a day trip to Praslin as the ferries leave often for the 15 minute trip between the two islands. Or you could take a catamaran trip from La Digue to visit a few beaches on Praslin for a day. But overall, getting around is pretty easy and our itinerary could be done with a baby. I had a couple of additional questions though, if you could help me with them that would be great! Did you do water sports in seychelles? Things like scuba diving etc and how much did that cost you? How much was the overall cost you incurred? Hey Aniruddha — Thanks for the message. Yes, there were some vegetarian options, mostly salad, at the local eateries. They do eat a lot of fish and meat though so not a ton of options but there always was something. Was a bit worried about the cost, until I read your post. Thanks for all the helpfull info! Can I bother you with a few more practical questions during our planning process the next months, via email? That would be really helpfull! Again, great post! Lovely pictures and great info! Thanks for sharing! I bet the seafood at seyshells would be pretty spectacular! Those tips are great, especially staying at Guest Houses versus resorts or five star hotels. As for Mahe, was there anything on that particular island that you wish you had a bit more time to see for yourself or would recommend to others visiting to the Seychelles? Like any old forts or museums that highlight that history of the Seychelles so you have a better understanding of the country while visiting it? Hello Derek. Thanks for sharing. What are the best places to cover during that time? Thanks in advance! We really wanted to get to the other islands for their gorgeous beaches and quieter atmosphere. This is such an amazing piece of information. What a great 40th birthday! The pictures are so beautiful, you two had the beach paradise all to yourselves,really amazing! Omg it looks stunning! I really hope I can one day make it to the Seychelles. Enjoyed reading this post! Hey Glenn — Plenty of snorkeling options. Even if you just walk into the water at some of the beaches, colorful fish start swimming all around you and the water is so clear that you can see straight to the bottom. And then there are reef areas for even better snorkeling that are easily accessible, either by beach or boat, on most of the islands! Certainly not pocket friendly but undoubtedly the most beautiful beaches in the world! My favourite is Petite Anse on La Digue! Glad you had a great trip! Awesome post Derek. What an amazing place to spend your birthday! How is it possible you thought of this when you were so young. How did you learn of this place! Thank you for sharing and I so look forward to more experiences shared! HaPpy incredible 40 years of an amazing journey! Wishing you many more! I have read that in customs you need to show where you will be sleeping. Is it for first days or for the whole trip? As I wanted to come to Mahe and then to decide. In our experience, they wanted to see our hotel booking but we only showed them the booking for the first few nights and that was okay. They also want to see your return flight ticket out of the Seychelles. So dreamy…. I heard there was only alcohol on the main island. Glad you had a great time! Alcohol could be bought in almost every shop and restaurant I came across on all 3 main islands. Travel advice, inspiration and updates from my life of non-stop travel This will close in 0 seconds.

Two Days on La Digue

Buying blow La Digue

It was run by a young guy called Shawn and most nights I would drop by for a couple of bottles of SeyBrew, maybe even a bottle of Slow Turtle Cider. I had three bottles to return. And I had hoped to get a photo of Shawn sitting on the steps of his shop or at least standing in the doorway. He was on island time. And besides, if it was urgent, everyone knew where he lived. I gave my three empty bottles to some boys playing football in the dirt beside the shack. It reminded me of how I collected empty bottles as a kid.

I almost saw myself in your shoes because that routine looks so good to me. Not only do I love beer, but finding a beer spot is always a joy on any trip. You are very kind and a good influence. I might bring all of my empty bottles and sell them and then give them to those who are in need. This is a very good post, thank you for sharing this. Notify me of follow-up comments by email.
