Itineraries for Praslin and La Digue
Day-by-day plans for a day trip, four days on La Digue and a week across both islands, with ferry times, opening hours and tides built in.
Choose by length
- One day: a day trip from Praslin to La Digue, cycling from the jetty to L'Union Estate and Anse Source d'Argent and back on an afternoon ferry.
- Four days: La Digue on a bicycle, with the Veuve Special Reserve, the walk from Grand Anse to Anse Cocos and a boat to Ile Cocos.
- Seven days: three nights on Praslin for the Vallée de Mai, Anse Lazio and Curieuse, then La Digue for the rest of the week.
How the plans work
Each day lists what to do and in which order, with the times that matter: ferry sailings, reserve opening hours and the tides at Anse Source d'Argent. Those details come from the operators and are dated on each itinerary, so check the timetable before you travel.
The ferry between Praslin and La Digue takes about 15 minutes, which makes it easy to move a day from one island to the other.
