Catamaran tour from Praslin
Overview
On this catamaran trip spend the day island-hopping. You’ll explore the cluster of granite islands that dot the ocean to the east of Praslin, stopping to snorkel, swim and stroll along boulder-strewn beaches.
You’ll board the vessel from a jetty in Praslin and set off toward the Soeurs, a pair of volcanic sister islands called the Soeurs. On reaching Grande Soeur Island,
your guide will give you a short tour of the island, showing you remnants of the 20th-century coconut plantation and the best snorkelling spots. The east coast’s steeply shelving beach is best for swimming, while snorkellers will find the island’s reef along the west coast.
After some free time to explore Grande Soeur, step back on board for a freshly barbecued lunch. It’s then time to set sail south towards Coco Island. Depending on the weather conditions, you might visit Coco Island.
The island is surrounded by shallow reefs where large schools of Surgeonfish and Pufferfish are often spotted. Turtles come to graze the seagrass and at the reef’s edge, you might see roaming reef sharks. Spend the afternoon snorkelling, swimming, or investigating the boulder-strewn beaches before sailing back to Praslin.
