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

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.”

Clearly worth doing!!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 152 reviews · 8 hours · from $153

From Praslin, visit Cousin Nature Reserve with a warden, eat a beach BBQ on Curieuse, then snorkel at St Pierre. Hotel pickup, equipment, and life vests are included. The small booking limit is 10, though shared boat transfers and a larger Cousin group may occur.

“In the end very disappointed. Picked up on time, waited for others and left over 45 mins after we arrived at boat. Confirmed day before that toilet facilities onboard. This was not true. Shared 8 pers boat with 2 other couples on different tours. This is a cost cutting measure. Got to Cousin Island on time, poor organisation by Cousin team meant took ages to be transfered. Island tour was poor. Our group of 40ish was far to big. Difficult to hear. With everyone chatting it frightened wildlife and got to close to nesting birds. Left Cousin and got to Curieuse for lunch. They agreed to provide 2 vegetarian options.…”

When i asked why, i was told viator and cat cocos are different companies and cat cocos only received payment for upper economy. I am disappointed. Why is viator selling tickets for cat cocos when there is no relationship? And what happened to the difference in money of my tickets?”
