Hi guys! 😊
I’m back with another post of my travel diary on Seychelles. 🌴



The third day on Praslin was amazing! We went on a tour on Curieuse Island and St. Pierre Islet. In the morning there was a taxi waiting for us in front of our AirBnB and gave us a ride to the beach (it wasn’t that far, we could have walked but the ride was included in the tour price so …). The driver introduced us to Robert, our guide for the day. He took us to a private speedboat and took us on Curieuse Island. The boat was awesome, the fastest around and the ride was so much fun. 😀

There are no people living on this island, it basically has just a tortoise farm and Doctors House (it was being renovated and we couldn’t go inside). We first admired turtles (they walk around the island freely). A guy named Rico came to us and introduced himself as our cook (we had a BBQ planned on the other side of the island).


When we saw all the turtles we wanted to see, we went to the other side – to Anse St. Jose. The path was very interesting, full of beautiful rocks, palm trees and tropical plants. A part of the path was through some kind of swamps, were we saw many big snails, mangroves and different kinds of crabs. The path was neat, tidy and I think quite new. There were also some signs about the surrounding flora and fauna.


After quite a long walk we arrived to Anse St. Jose. It was breathtaking. White sand, tropical greenery, red and brown rocks and turquoise sea. Plus a huge bonus – no people (they were all crowded at the part of the beach where the boats arrive). We could spend all day on a beach like this. But we didn’t have much time. We ate some jack fish and chicken on BBQ (not a huge fan of jack fish – the taste was very strong and I didn’t like the consistency either), rice, salad and small bananas (yummy). Robert was waiting for us after lunch with the speedboat and we had to say goodbye to our favorite beach.


We got to St. Pierre Islet in a blink of an eye with the speedboat. Robert gave us fins and masks and we jumped in the sea, ready for snorkeling. It was a bit sad, because all the corals were dead – we asked why and Robert told us about coral bleaching. But the fishes were pretty so we enjoyed that. We also saw a turtle swimming past us and I was super excited. 😎

After that, Robert took us around St. Pierre Islet and back to our beach. We stayed there for a while, just relaxing in the shadow. Then we went to the same food truck as every day and took some fish, similar to tuna, with rice. We ate at the beach and when it got dark, we went back to our room.
