Mara_2 Says: It is the only place on the entire world where the famous Coco de Mer palms grow spontaneously! It is well worth a visit, just to see these incredible plams! The are so tall and their leaves are so huge that I felt really like Gulliver in the land of gigants!And the sound...
globetrott Says: Take a look at this great vegetation, it looks great in the first moment but the climate is also very hot and the worst is the humidity, that makes you a totally wet shirt within quite a short time even without sweating so much. That heat is also not really good for your...

Tante Mimi restaurant: strange name & obviously great food
globetrott Says: This restaurant seems to be one of the most famous places for eating out in Praslin and you will find lots of stories about it in the internet, also in the link below. It got my attention for the fact that the name "Tante Mimi" makes me believe that the owners must be...
a nightclub in Anse Volbert Village: take a look for yourself
globetrott Says: There does not seem a lot of a "nightlife" in Praslin, except this tiny "nightclub" next to a shop in Anse Volbert Village, but the hut will not have place for more than 10 people inside and just a few people standing in front of it in the main-street.There is also a Casino...
There is no night life in Praslin =)
Kisu Says: All the restaurants close at 9 p.m. and the last bus to take you back to your hotel, leaves about the same time. It's common in Praslin to take a All Inclusive package otherwise prepare to eat the local creole fish with rise and tomatosauce every night.....Hotels have some...
globetrott Says: There is a fast ferry from Baie Ste Anne/Praslin to La Dique several times a day and that fast catamaran will get there within less than 20 minutes. We have taken this catamaran, that may take around 200-300 passengers maybe, in order to explore La Dique by ox-wagon, a...
globetrott Says: This is the only type of bus that is available in Praslin / Seychelles. They dont have an aircondition but at least you will be able to open the windows, that was really a big help, also in order to take better photographs out of the window, totally without any reflections,...
Anse Volbert: Coc-de-mer galore
globetrott Says: You will find great souvenirs in Praslin and the coco-de-mer is certainly one of the favorite souvenirs to take home. On my main photo you will see a bottle of spritits made in the shape of a coco-de-mer, that might be a funny and very special souvenir. Of course it is also...
kyoub Says: There are some nice little shops in Baie Sainte Anne. You will also find gift shops in all of the larger hotels. Coco de Mer items. Anything shaped like the nut. More than you would pay for it at home, if you could find them there..

Well not quiet a cultural tip - but in some countries a beer is part of culture isn't it. Since the first bottle rolled off the production line of Seychelles Breweries Ltd in June 1972, SeyBrew Lager has been the favourite beer of Seychelles. SeyBrew is brewed with the finest malt and hops imported from Europe, Australia and South Africa. And after a hot day it is the best drink on the islands to squench your thirst!!

dont walk on the road to the National Park
globetrott Says: You might get the idea to save some money and walk along the road to the national park, BUT that road is ment for cars only and at many places there is no space at all for hikers and cardrivers will also not expect anyone when going around one of the many bends in the...
be careful when walking around Vallee de Mai
globetrott Says: Be careful when walking around Vallee de Mai, because many of the palmtrees have thorns and they are hard to be seen, but it will be very hard to get these thorns out of your skin again when you have touched them once. Insects are no problem in that national park, we saw a...
kyoub Says: I don't know that this would be a tourist trap but when thinking about coming to the Seychelles remember that is is not a budget destination.Camping is forbidden. If you stay in a small guesthouse, eat in a small local cafe, and don't rent a car or do any watersports, you...

Luggage and bags: Travel light, you will be going on boats and small planes between the islands.
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Light, loose cotton clothing is best all year. T-shirts, shorts, and sandals are the most common thing for vistors to wear. Some of the larger hotels require men to wear long pants in the evening. Swim attire is not permitted away from the beaches or hotels. Nude bathing is not allowed on public beaches but women may go topless.
Toiletries and Medical Supplies: You probably can find some toliletries but you will pay up for them.
Best to take what medical supplies that you must have.
Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: Camping not allowed.
Miscellaneous: Beware of the sun, be sure to apply lots of sunscreen.

A flesh-eating snail & a giant spider
globetrott Says: This snail is a bit larger than snails in Europe and it is eating flesh ! They are eating mainly smaller insects of course, but you never know, so you better be carful not to touch it so you wont get a bite !I saw this snail under the top of the hut, where we waited for our...
globetrott Says: When taking the higher path through the national reserve of Valee de Mai you will get to this clear spring of fresh water that has drinking quality. Some members of our group tasted the water and told me that it tastes special (and all of them survived) so maybe you should...
MikeAtSea Says: The only 18 hole golf course in the Seychelles can be found on Praslin Island. The championship golf course is situated on the grounds of the Le Lemuria Resort. A club house is available for golf equipment and caddies can be hired. The layout is quiet challenging with...
MikeAtSea Says: One of the main attractions of the Seychelles is to explore the clean, crystal blue waters of the Indian Ocean. Whitetip Divers launches daily dive trips to the reefs around Praslin. I did one stunning dive with them seeing Whitetip Sharks and enjoying a relaxing dive in the...
kyoub Says: There was a male Madagascar Fody building a nest, in a palm tree, across from our patio. We spent many hours sitting there watching him.The Madagascar Fody male is a very brigt red during mating season and oh so pretty. That is without a doubt why they were introduced here...
