Island-Hopping Paradise in Seychelles: A Day of Adventure, Local Flavours & Sunset Bliss
If you are looking to explore Seychelles beyond Mahé, a private island-hopping boat tour and a sunset dinner are essentials to elevate your trip! On our last day, we planned a full day of discovery, beginning with a morning private boat tour from Mahé to three stunning islands: Ile Moyenne, Long Island and Cerf Island. #holidayvacation
🏝️ A day on the water exploring Seychelles hidden gems! Each of these islands has a unique charm, and a boat tour allowed us to experience the best of each. #boattour
- Ile Moyenne is known for its incredible natural beauty and rich biodiversity. Walking around the island, you can see giant tortoises roaming freely, adding a truly exotic feel to the lush environment. #environment #tortoise
- Long Island delivered some of the clearest, turquoise waters we have ever seen. We anchored here for some snorkelling, which felt like swimming in an aquarium filled with colourful fish, coral reefs and the occasional turtle passing by. #snorkeling #coralreef
- Cerf Island was our lunch spot, where we dove inti the flavours of Seychelles! We tried locally-prepared seafood dishes - which gave us a taste of authentic island cuisine!
🌅 To end the day on a high note, we headed back to Mahé and drove to Rock Pool Seafood Bar & Grill for a memorable dinner with a view. This spot is known for its fresh seafood, laid-back atmosphere and unforgettable sunsets. The sky turned vibrant shades of orange and purple as the sun dipped below the horizon. #sunset #vacation
This day was one of the highlights of our trip to Seychelles! Between the pristine islands, the incredible underwater life and the perfect sunset at Rock Pool, it’s a day we will never forget.
Useful Tips:
- Consider a private boat tour: We found that a private tour offered flexibility, allowing us to explore each island without rushing. Plus, you get more control over your itinerary.
- Snorkel: Bringing your own snorkel gear is helpful if you want to avoid rentals and have your preferred equipment.
- Arrange lunch ahead of time: Many beachside spots on Cerf Island require prior arrangements for meals, especially if you are after specific local dishes or seafood
- Sunset: Arriving about 45 minutes before sunset gives you time to settle in, take photos and soak up the atmosphere before the show begins.
Anse Source d’Argent: Your Slice of Beach Bliss Awaits!
Ready for a day that feels like a dream? Let me take you on a sun-soaked journey to La Digue Island in the Seychelles, where the breathtaking Anse Source d’Argent awaits!
🛥️ We took a scenic boat ride from Praslin Island to La Digue, which took about 30 minutes, with the gentle waves and stunning views setting the perfect tone. Pro tip: Grab you tickets in advance, especially during peak season, for a smooth ride! #boatride #adventure
🚵 Once we hit La Digue, we rented bikes - it’s the best way to explore the island gem! From lush landscapes to charming villages, biking lets you soak in the sights at your own pace. Trust me, you don’t want to miss a single palm tree!
🏝️ Our first stop? The iconic Anse Source d’Argent! With its famous granite boulders and pristine white sand, I felt like I would stepped into a postcard. Tip: Get there early to snag the best spot and enjoy the beach before the crowds arrive!

Entrance Fee: Access to Anse Source d’Argent is around Seychellois SCR 100 (about 7 USD) which goes towards maintaining this stunning area. #heritage #environment
🐠 The calm, clear waters are perfect for snorkelling. We spotted vibrant fish and corals - it was like swimming in a tropical aquarium! If you don’t have gear, no worries; rentals are available nearby. #coral #underwaterworld
🥗 After a morning of fun in the sun, we refuelled at a besch café. You can’t leave without trying the local Creole cuisine - grilled fish and coconut curry where highlights! #localfood
🌴 We continued our biking adventure to L’Union Estate, where we learned about vanilla production and met some friendly giant tortoises. #localguides #tortoise
🌅 As the day wrapped up, we returned to Anse Source d’Argent to watch the sunset. The colours were absolutely breathtaking - definitely a moment I will cherish forever!
Final Tips:
- Pack Smart: Don’t forget sunscreen, water, and a camara to capture every magical moment!
- Stay Hydrated: The tropical heat is real, so drink up!
- Respect Nature: Keep the beach clean and follow local guidelines.
If you are planning a trip to Seychelles, La Digue and Anse Source d’Argent are must-visits. It’s pure paradise, and I promise you will leave with a heart full of memories! ✨
🌱🍃A Special Discovery in Yunnan🍃🌱
Na Pa Hai is a lowland valley surrounded by impressive mountains, there is a large lake in the middles encircled by vast grasslands.
The grass is green, the air is fresh, the water is pure, the sky is blue, and the animals are free. Although, none of that compares to what makes this place really special.
What makes this place extra special is that the environment, animals and community are cared for vigorously by the locals. Our friendly hotelier informed us that;
While still selling horse rides and pictures with lambs and yaks to tourists, the animals are required to be rotated every lunch, and are to be kept in fields with size regulations. Local hotels and eateries only use/sell locally sourced food and water to support farmers. Very inspirational.
🕰️Business Hours:
Restaurants 7am - 9pm
Tourists attractions 9-12am & 2-6pm
🏖️Ambiance: Community and friendly
🗓️Facilities: Limited shops and restrooms
💞Reasons to Recommend: Re-ignite the magic of a community united for good. This places makes optimistic contagious.
