12 Days Island-Hopping Seychelles Tour

$6,098.00

Description

This is an island-hoping tour that will reveal the splendid and exotic charm of the Seychelles. You will visit the 3 main granite islands of Mahe, Praslin and La Digue.

All the islands are splendid in their own right, one more exotic than the other, yet they share a common denominator: lush tropical vegetation, lined by white sandy beaches running down to crystal clear water in shades from emerald green to dark blue. It is a sight which never fails to impress the newly arrived traveler: beach after beach, sometimes appearing as unending expanses of white sand and sometimes as rare white pearls enclosed by small coves and lagoons.
