• 1Horrible Tour- worst of 50+ Viator tours I’ve taken.

  I’ve taken over 50 tours with Viator and this was hands down the worst of all. You are basically paying for transportation and a crappy lunch. From hotel pickup to arrival back in Victoria was more like 10 hours. There was little to no touring. We were basically dropped off at the beaches without any service. On Praslin, you had to pay to use the facilities. Chairs were an additional expense. The time on each beach was between 1-2 hours. There was no instruction, no help. Also, these tours are offered by all the hotels at about 40% cheaper. I was so disappointed. DO NOT BOOK THIS TRIP! ITS A SCAM. Wait until you get to the Seychelles and book directly through your hotel.

• 5Stunning Islands, but Be Ready for a Rough Sea !

  This was a truly beautiful experience and absolutely worth doing. Praslin was gorgeous, and we had the chance to visit one of the most beautiful beaches in the Seychelles. On La Digue, we discovered the world-famous Anse Source d’Argent, one of the most photographed beaches in the world, and it was every bit as spectacular as expected. We had a lot of time to explore the islands on each stop, including time to see the giant tortoises, discover the scenery, and really enjoy the atmosphere. It was a wonderful experience and one we are very happy we did despite the sea conditions. However, be prepared for a very rough sea! The crossing took around 1 hour and 20 minutes each way, plus another 15-minute boat ride between Praslin and La Digue. The conditions were extremely challenging. Almost everyone ended up feeling sick or vomiting, except those who had taken motion-sickness medication beforehand. I strongly recommend taking something before boarding, especially if you are prone to seasickness. Our young captain was genuinely impressive. He handled the boat with remarkable confidence and professionalism. I have rarely seen someone manage such difficult conditions so well. The lunch was nothing special, but it covered the essentials, and we certainly weren’t there for the food! Overall, an unforgettable day with incredible landscapes and a fantastic island experience. Highly recommended, but definitely prepare yourself for the roughness of the sea!

• 4Reliable Tour Guide

  We booked with Ocean Blue our day trip to Praslin & La Digue. It's well organised and reliable. Staff is good, including their partners on the islands (e.g. the bicycle guy in La Digue brought back an iphone that we had left in the bicycle basket). I'm giving 4/5 because I felt the schedule was too rushed. You gotta show up at 6:45am but the boat doesn't depart until 7:30am. In Praslin, there is only time to see Anse Lazio (beautiful) but for no longer than 1 hour. Then onto La Digue where time only allowed us to see Anse Source d'Argent but not the other bays in the South of the island because at 3:00pm we had to be on our way back. And we arrived back in Mahé well before 5pm with still c.2 hours of daylight. If anything they could just gather folks at 8:00am or leave more time on the island

• 5Absolute Must-Do: Stunning Islands & Great Organization (Read for Sea Sickness Tip!)

  This shared day trip to Praslin & La Digue by Ocean Blue Travel Seychelles is an absolute must-do. The islands are genuinely stunning—photos do not do them justice. My biggest tip: The one-hour speed boat ride over to Praslin can be rough, and we had huge breakers on the day we went. Seriously, take a motion or sea sickness tablet beforehand, even if you don't usually need one. Once we were on La Digue, the organization was fantastic. Ocean Blue handled the lunch arrangements for the whole group, and they also took care of the cycle hire, which makes getting around the island so much easier and more fun. A great practical detail: If you visit Anse Source d’Argent (the famous beach), there are showers available right there, which is perfect for rinsing off the salt and sand before you leave. It’s all worth the effort. La Digue and Praslin are unbelievably beautiful, and my only regret is that one day is simply not enough time to enjoy everything.

• 5Incredible journey

  Very pleasant experience and in very good price. You will see most important attractions on both islands. First in Praslin u will get to know some facts bout coco de mer and after that u will have 2 options forest or beach. I highly recommend going for the forest even tho it's paid ~35€per person (if u're like us who have been on every beach on Mahe). After bout 1.5h on the beach/forest u will head to La Digue. Here u will have the option to take bikes and explore on ur own after going to restaurant or take a tour bus. I definitelly recommend here going for the bikes. Incredible experience. U can stop and take pictures, go to restaurant, do everything u want to do including of course going to la union estate with anse d sergent beach (highly recommend). As bout the boat and taxi from hotel everything seems fine. Captaing is higly skilled and taxi driver is kind and very punctual. Definitelly recommend
