Setting Sail from Beau Vallon Bay

The moment I stepped onto the catamaran at Eden Island, I felt the familiar embrace of the ocean breeze. The Seychelles Cruise promised a week of island exploration, and I was ready to dive into the adventure. Our first stop was Beau Vallon Bay, a place that seemed to whisper tales of the sea with its gentle waves and golden sands. As we anchored, I took a moment to soak in the 360-degree views from the flybridge, a perfect start to our journey.

The captain, a seasoned sailor with a twinkle in his eye, encouraged us to set our own pace. Stops were flexible, and the itinerary was more of a suggestion than a rule. This freedom resonated with my free spirit, and I knew this cruise would be more than just a sightseeing tour. It was an invitation to explore, to connect with the islands on my terms.

Discovering Praslin and Curieuse Islands

The next morning, we sailed to Praslin Island, where the lush greenery of Anse Lazio awaited. The beach was a paradise for snorkeling enthusiasts like myself. The underwater world was teeming with vibrant marine life, and I found myself lost in the dance of the fish beneath the waves. The water was so clear, it felt like swimming in a giant aquarium.

Curieuse Island was our next destination, home to the famous giant land tortoises. Walking the trail and visiting the old doctor’s house was like stepping back in time. The island’s history was as rich as its natural beauty, and I couldn’t help but feel a deep connection to the land. As the sun set, we anchored at Curieuse Bay, the perfect spot to reflect on the day’s adventures.

Island-Hopping Bliss

The cruise continued with visits to the Big Sister, Coco, and Felicite Islands. Each stop offered a unique experience, from snorkeling with sea turtles to exploring hidden coves. The freedom to choose our activities made each day feel like a new adventure, and I relished the opportunity to explore at my own pace.

La Digue Island was a highlight, with its charming bike trails and stunning beaches. I spent the day cycling through the island, discovering secluded spots and enjoying the laid-back island vibe. The sense of freedom and exploration was intoxicating, a reminder of why I fell in love with island life in the first place.

As the cruise came to an end, I found myself reflecting on the beauty of the Seychelles and the joy of exploring its islands. The experience was a perfect blend of relaxation and adventure, a journey that captured the essence of island living. If you’re looking for a unique way to explore the Seychelles, this cruise is a must-do. Seychelles Island Cruise
