Holiday to Praslin in the Seychelles islands

April 26-29, 2003

Are you looking for information on Praslin island? In this section of travel-tour-guide.com you will find details on the most important attractions on Praslin that shouldn't be missed, like the unique Valle De Mai forest hosting the Coco de Mer palm tree (symbol of Seychelles), or the wonderful Anse Lazio beach with its super fine white sand. All is documented with lot of photos.

The day trip in Praslin starts with a short bus ride to Vallee De Mai, a national forest on Praslin declared by UNESCO as world's heritage site. Here is the only place where the Coco de Mer palm grows, producing heart shaped fruits.

Photos of Coco De Mer fruits, still not heart shaped, because too young.

The Coco De Mer leaves are huge and sized several meters.

The day continues with a bus ride to Anse Lazio, a beautiful white sand beach on Praslin.

This white sand beach is also very wide with lot of room for the people coming here. In my opinion, this is the most beautiful beach through Alphonse, Mahe, La Digue, Bird Island and Praslin.
