Things to Do  

Grande Anse

Grande Anse, La Digue

 Jmill42 Says:  If Anse Source d'Argent is too tame for you, then hop over to the other side of the island to Grande Anse. Here you will find the same perfect sand, but the waves here are anything but tame. You must be careful though, as with the undertow, its easy to get caught in the... 

Anse Source d'Argent

Anse Source d'Argent, La Digue

 Jmill42 Says:  Generally rated as one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, Anse Source d'Argent delivers exactly as promised. From the perfect white sand draped with flowing palm trees, dotted with its signature pink boulders, looking out over the crystal-clear Indian Ocean waters,...

La Diguoise: Excellence in Food and Accommodation, La Digue

 Jmill42 Says:  Some things just fall into your lap, with a little work. Searching online for a place to stay can certainly be a long drawn-out affair, but generally pays off big time. Such is the case here. Me and 2 other friends wanted to keep our daily budget for food and lodging at or... 

Hotel L'Ocean: Gorgeous seaview

Hotel L'Ocean: Gorgeous seaview, La Digue

 mim95 Says:  We stayed in room 1 in May 2010 for our honeymoon. The view from the balcony wasn't too bad as we still had the full view of the sunrise and a bit of sunset. I think this was the best room if you couldn't get the ones upstairs. The room was nicely decorated with shells, sand... 

Ladoureur Guesthouse: Very nice guesthouse

 cbrandlehner Says:  Florine and Pierre LADOUREUR run this small guesthouse on La Digue Island.Staying there is not like being in a hotel but staying as part of the family. You will join the family for dinner and you will like the taste for sure.I recommend to rent a bike and leave towards the... 

Transportation  

Ferry

Ferry, La Digue

 Jmill42 Says:  The only normally available option getting to La Digue is via a ferry from Praslin. Which means you will have to take the ferry from Mahe to Praslin. Which means you will have to pay the extremely expensive ferry cost for both, inconveniently priced in Euros. In the end, it... 

Ox Cart

Ox Cart, La Digue

 Jmill42 Says:  There are taxis on the island, available to whip you off to your chosen accommodation. However, there is a more traditional option at your disposal, which I highly encourage: ox cart. It costs the same, but takes 3 times as long, which is a perfect way to transition yourself... 

Bicycle

Bicycle, La Digue

 Jmill42 Says:  La Digue is very small. You can leisurely pedal your way around the circumference of the island in about 45 minutes. Every guesthouse and hotel offer bike rentals, and you should certainly take them up on the offer, as it is a wonderful way to experience all the island has...

La Digue:  At Their Pace, Not Yours, La Digue

 Jmill42 Says:  The people of La Digue have a certain way about them. You have the island life mentality, so expect everything to be at a slower pace, but also go knowing that these people have an immense pride about their way of life, the care with which they are taking care of you, just...

 While Mahe and Praslin both have good beaches, they both also have airports, which mean more tourists. So, if you are looking to relax in the Inidan Ocean, far away from it all, this is your best...
