While there is an abundance of islands to visit in Seychelles, today we will focus on three; Cousin, Curieuse, and St.Pierre. 

Itinerary:

**Tour only available Tuesday and Thursday.

This morning we will begin nice and early, around 9 am. You will be picked up from your hotel/accommodation on Praslin and we will make our way to Cousin Island. 

Cousin Island is a protected reserve lying just west of Praslin. The intense diversity on the island makes it a hot spot for international research. The island has played a key role in many case studies and won awards based around ecotourism. Almost the entirety of the island is covered in forest aside from the beautiful beach that surrounds the island. The island is home to a well preserved coral reef that includes plenty of wildlife. Additionally, the island is home to some of the regions rarest birds. 

Next up we will cruise to Curieuse Island, near the north coast, where you'll get a great view of the Praslin coast. Before exploring the island, we will enjoy a delicious BBQ lunch on board. The island is also a National Marine Park complete with its own incredible ecosystem. The park is a protected area and home to hundreds of Giant Tortoises, and crabs. The island boasts beautiful mangroves, giant palm trees, and many bird species including the rare Seychelles Black Parrot exclusive to Praslin Island. You can enjoy a guided tour of the island or opt to stay on the beach getting to know some Tortoises.

Our final stop of the day will be on Isle St. Pierre. A pristine spot where you can enjoy the immaculate conditions of the turquoise water surrounding you. Snorkeling is absolutely breathtaking on this island should you choose to take a peek beneath the surface - alternatively you can enjoy the calm waters while swimming or enjoy the white sandy beach as you sunbathe. 

We will then sail back the Praslin enjoying the surreal beauty of the islands around us around 6 pm.
