Entry from: Praslin Island, Seychelles Islands Entry Title: “You Say Shells, I Seychelles” Entry: “Ship life according to Tracey…On our final day in the Seychelles, we sailed to Praslin Island, the second largest island of the Seychelles and 44km north east of Mahe with a population of 6500. Galen and I decided on another snorkeling trip which many people signed up for and therefore two catamarans were hired, Galen and I ending up on the smaller one with only about 10 passengers and 3 crew. Excellent! We traveled about 45 min off the coast of Praslin to Coco Island. The crew was the ‘party’ crew with guitar playing and lots of singing. When we got to the snorkeling area, we realized it actually would have been more helpful had they been an experienced sailing/life saving crew as opposed to a party crew. The waters were quite rough and the current strong. We got to the snorkeling spot and the boat was anchoring when one of our passengers, Tom, an older fellow, asked one of the crew if it was OK if he dove off the side of the boat. No snorkeling gear, just a dive off for a quick swim. She told him to go ahead, and then they decided to move the boat. Not far, but far enough in rough waters when you don’t know where the boat is going! We finally got anchored (and Tom embarked and was done for the day) and

Enjoy the Purity of Nature while on a Family Holiday to Seychelles

Article by Pushpitha Wijesinghe

While not exactly a teeming tourist hub, Seychelles is still one of the world’s dream vacation destinations. The 115 islands of the archipelago are gifted with a lavish bounty of lush green forests and rippling white ribbons of beach kissed by azure waves. Wrapped in a mantle of rare seclusion, it is easy to see why the Seychelles would stand out as a holiday destination. Claiming world-renowned UNESCO World Heritage sites such as the prehistoric forests of the Vallée de Mai, the sprawling coral reefs of Aldabra, bird-watching treks on Cousin Island and no less six sprawling marine parks, the islands of Seychelles abound in mysteries that sets the imaginations of both young and old afire. In a time of gimmicky artificial theme entertainments marketed as family-friendly activities, the disingenuous atmosphere and natural purity of these islands makes spending a family holiday here that much more appealing. Touted as a paragon of eco-tourism virtue, the Seychelles abound with a plethora of nature activities for both adults and children. The islands of Praslin, Mahé and La Digue are by far the most popular among holiday makers, famed for their sprawling stretches of surf and emerald mountainous interiors bursting with flora and fauna. The former evokes the image of laughing children gambolling in powder-soft sand fringed with looming boulders, building sand castles and taking dips in the natural rock pools. Kids’ resort clubs pepper these areas, allowing parents the space to enjoy the serene romance of the surroundings. The beaches of Anse Source d’Argent and Anse Patates on La Digue Island are among the most popular especially among older children seeking natural dive spots. The Seychelles islands lay claim to some of the world’s most coveted diving spots, replete with coral gardens and scraggy shipwrecks to delight both adults and children. Snorkelling is also a great way to explore the myriad of marine life hidden in the shallows; the beaches are a veritable haven for enthusiasts of waterskiing, sailing and windsurfing. Local big game fishing tours are also offered in this area from which many world records for game and fly fishing have sprung. Nature treks, especially to Hawksbill Turtle hatcheries and the Vallée de Mai, are the standout draws of the islands’ lush interior. The unfolding vista of both inland and undersea exploration fosters a spirit of inquiry and appreciation for nature in the hearts and minds of young children. Those planning a family trip to the African archipelago and looking for the ideal Seychelles hotel are directed to the Raffles Praslin Seychelles. This luxury Seychelles resort is a secluded all-villa accommodation that lives up to its international brand reputation.
