Following a mesmerising guided tour of Cousin’s colonies of seabirds and rare land birds, we invite you to sail with us to Curieuse island approximately 3 km off the north coast of Praslin. Designated as a Marine National Park in 1979, on Curieuse is where you will find the second largest forest of Coco-de-Mer palms after Praslin and one the largest colonies of giant land tortoises anywhere among the inner islands. 

After savouring a delicious Creole BBQ lunch by the ruins of a grand colonial house, there will still be ample time for swimming and island-style relaxation before heading off to the tiny islet of St. Pierre for the snorkelling experience of a lifetime.
