Praslin Island Cruises
Second largest of the Seychelles archipelago at only seven miles long, Praslin Island was originally the perfect hideaway for pirates, but is now the epitome of a tropical paradise, with crystal blue seas and tropical forests. Home to breath-taking beaches and rare bird species, the UNESCO-protected palm forest of Vallée de Mai in Praslin National Park is dominated by granite boulders, where it is possible to see sea turtles and moray eels.
