Praslin Island Activities

As an island holiday destination, it’s no wonder that water-based activities top the list of ‘things to do’ in Praslin. Use the island as your launch pad to smaller outer islets, travelling by catamaran cruise of boating excursion. Or dip below the waves as you snorkel or dive the coral reef – look out for sting rays, barracuda and docile nurse sharks.

Inspired and influenced by a variety of cultures, food on Praslin Island (and throughout the Seychelles) is a fusion of French, Asian and Indian cuisine – with local spices adding a burst of flavour. Drawing on the waters around it, seafood and fish are popular items on any menu, with grilled fish a local favourite. Try home-made palm wine or coconut milk for a refreshing drink.
