★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 315 reviews · 7h 30m · from $76

Spend 7.5 hours exploring Praslin with hotel pickup, a guide, and transport included. Walk through Vallée de Mai, home of the coco de mer and black parrot, then relax at Anse Lazio. Guides such as José Esther explain the island’s plants, wildlife, and village life. Lunch and reserve admission cost extra.

“Our driver and guide José was excellent, very friendly, fun and knowledgeable! We had luck with the weather, the rain only started when the day was almost done. We had just the right amount of time in both locations. Well worth the price and so easy compared to bus travel, especially in the beginning of our trip - nice overview of Praslin Island, which made our next days much easier to plan.”

Užili jsme si hlavní město, Mission Dogde, prohlídku zahrady plné ovocných stromů a koření a viděli jsme desítky suchozemských želv různých velikostí. Na závěr nás čekala ochutnávka rumu Takamaka. Řidič minibusu nás vyzvedl na hotelu a po skončení výletu dopravil zase zpět.”
