★★★★★★★★★★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.…”
