COUSIN & LA DIGUE ISLANDS

This tour highlights the unique attractions of the most photographed island in the Seychelles , La Digue, and also Cousin Island whose rich and unique bird life has earned it the protection of Bird Life International and Bird Life Seychelles .

Today, Cousin is also home to the near extinct Seychelles Brush Warbler and is one of only three islands where the Seychelles Fody is to be found. In addition, each year there is an estimated quarter of a million seabirds breeding on the island, which is also an important nesting ground for sea turtles.

Lying only half an hour’s boat trip from Praslin, La Digue is the third major granite island and fourth largest and is famed for its distinct brand of Creole architecture and also for the presence of another very rare bird - the black Paradise Flycatcher - once thought to be extinct.

Here, you will visit the L’Union Estate with its majestic colonial house and learn how coconut is processed into copra and oil. Only a stone’s throw away is where giant land tortoises are housed beside an imposing granite boulder, beneath the protective branches of an Indian Almond tree.

No trip is complete without the chance to swim at the world-famous beach Anse Source d’Argent, the setting for many an international film and prestigious advertising campaign.
