Begin an unforgettable journey through the Fond Ferdinand Nature Reserve, where the untouched natural beauty of Praslin Island awaits. Follow the easy 2-hour trail through lush greenery, surrounded by towering palm trees and breathtaking landscapes. Feast your eyes on the world’s largest nut, the legendary Coco De Mer, and keep your ears peeled for the elusive Black Parrot, among other fascinating wildlife.

As you reach the summit of the Fond Ferdinand Nature Reserve trail, you’ll be treated to a breathtaking view that spans the entire horizon. The awe-inspiring 360-degree panoramic vista encompasses not only the lush Praslin Island but also its neighbouring Inner Islands, such as Curieuse, Sister, Coco, Round, Felicité and La Digue. On the other side, you can see the stunning silhouettes of Frégate, Mahé and Silhouette Island, while the sharp-eyed may even spot the remote Denis Island on the horizon. Don’t forget to visit the tortoise pen near the admission office, where you can interact with these gentle giants – feed them, pet them or snap a selfie with them.

Take a break and indulge in a scrumptious Creole lunch at a charming restaurant, or continue the adventure and head towards the next destination – the picturesque Anse Lazio. The pristine beach boasts of sparkling white sand and turquoise waters that reveal a stunning marine life. Enjoy a leisurely afternoon as you sunbathe, swim or snorkel in the crystal-clear waters. At either end of the beach, there are two restaurants and a small shop that cater to your hunger and thirst pangs.
