1.Curieuse & St Pierre Island Day Trip with Barbecue

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 572 reviews · 7 hours · from $88Our pick

From Praslin, guides such as Benjamin and Aubrey lead you across Curieuse’s mangroves, Coco de Mer palms, and leprosy-era ruins before a beach BBQ and St Pierre snorkeling. Transfers, lunch, drinks, and gear are included, but the Curieuse fee costs an extra €20 for ages 12 and up.

“A really well organised trip! Couldn’t ask for more. Great hike, loved the giant tortoises, bbq lunch and the snorkelling. Tour guide was really knowledgeable and lots of interesting facts. My only recommendation would be to maybe allocate wristbands so the tour guides can easily tell who’s in each group.”

“Byli jsme velice spokojeni. Výlet předčil všechna naše očekávání. Skvělý průvodce přecházel plynule z angličtiny do francouzštiny a odpovídal pohotově na všechny naše dotazy. 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.”
