Seychelles' second largest island of Praslin is almost a world away from bustling Mahé. It's a magnificent island paradise, offering world-class beaches and stunning scenery. Delve into the ancient palm forest of Praslin National Park (Vallée de Mai) and uncover the world's heaviest nut, the Coco de Mer, and see the black parrot. Or, travel by boat to meet Aldabra tortoises at Curieuse Marine National Park.
