Must do: A private sundowner experience accompanied by cocktails, canapes and a private butler!
Curieuse Island
The island of Curieuse is home to almost 500 Aldabra giant tortoises and the perfect turtle nesting site. Easily accessible from Raffles, it is a short 10 minute taxi boat ride. It is also famous for its bare red earth mountains due to its red coloured soil. Due to it being a former Leper colony until 1956, the nature and ecosystem has been well protected for a hundred years.
Vallee De Mai Nature Reserve
Vallee De Mai, also known as the ‘Heart of Praslin’, is home to the Coco De Mer Nut where it grows in its natural state. Vallee De Mai was considered to be the actual Garden of Eden by early explorers who first discovered it. Furthermore, it is also home to world’s rarest birds, the Black Parrot.
