Catamaran Cruise: New Year's Eve in the Seychelles

Saturday from 17:00 you will be welcomed by your skipper at the Marina of Eden Island in Mahé. After buy food and beverages and the security briefing you can take your place in your cabins, before leaving the berths for a short sail to the Marine Park of St. Anne: a protected place where over 150 species of fish live in a fascinating underwater world to discover. We will go to the deep in paradise: you can swim and snorkel in the unspoiled nature with dolphins and sea turtles, or we will take advantage of the evening to visit the capital Port Victoria.

The cruise departs from Mahè and sets course for the archipelago of Praslin, the second largest island of the Seychelles. You will have the opportunity to dive into the crystal clear waters of St. Pierre, a small island on the northwest side of Praslin, and then we will sail together to the island of Curieuse, famous for the presence of giant turtles, where we will spend the night. 

Today we will explore the island of Curieuse, where we will spend the day among the turtles and hike to the Doctor’s House, a perfect example of Creole architecture. Later we will go back on board and, weather permitting, we will sail towards Anse Lazio. Otherwise we will remain at anchor in the area.

Today we will moor in the paradise of snorkelers: Île Cocos, a small granite island covered with palm trees. On the surrounding great barrier reef you will have the opportunity to swim among colorful tropical fishes! The cruise will then continue towards the island Grande Soeur, part of the Sister Islands. Considered one of the most beautiful islands of the entire archipelago of Seychelles.  Characterized by crystal clear water, white sand, green palm trees and red granite rocks, this island is the perfect scenery for your photographs. We will spend the night in La Digue, the fourth largest island of the archipelago, and especially on the beach Petite Anse, wild and secluded, a real postcard landscape!

We’ll enter the port of La Digue around 9:00am. We will spend the day on the ground and there will be the opportunity to rent bicycles with which you can reach the magnificent Anse Source d'Argent, characterized by shallow turquoise waters, white sand and granite rocks, that make it a dream beach like the ones described in books, as well as one of the most photographed in the world. A real must-see for anyone visiting the Seychelles!

After breakfast and a few dives we will sail towards Aride, an island that, contrary to what you might think from its name, has lush vegetation and is therefore a protected natural area, just like the coral reef that surrounds it. In the afternoon you can then immerse yourself in the crystal clear waters of St. Pierre to snorkel or simply to relax, and then we will sail towards St. Anne, where we will spend the night under the stars.

We are almost at the end of the cruise: today we will first sail on Port Launay, a truly unique place compared to the other beaches of the Seychelles, where you can play numerous sports, and then on the beach of Baie Ternay - Anse du Riz. You will then have the opportunity to immerse yourself in the waters of Île Thérèse, a wild island rich in tropical vegetation. We will spend the last night in the mooring before returning to Eden Island.

Departure early at 06:00am and return to Eden Island scheduled for 09:00am, in time for landing. For those who have the flight in the evening, we recommend a visit to the center of Victoria, especially the Hindu Temple and the mini Big-Ben, or alternatively to spend a final day at the beach of Bel Ombre.
