Our Inner Island Yacht Safaris showcase some of the best natural assets of the archipelago, providing you with the opportunity to access the beauty and rare endemic wildlife of several stunning key islands of the inner group.
Based aboard your choice of romantic traditional sailing yacht or a sleek, modern sailing ship you are able to explore otherwise difficult to access island environments, including rainforests, reefs, mountains and mangroves. You decide the pace: relax on the ship's deck with a book and excellent food, or indulge in activities such as snorkelling, hiking, kayaking, cycling, and windsurfing, to be later refreshed by a private barbeque on the beach.
This trip is also an excellent solution for the diver who wants to see the best of what the inner islands have to offer - both above and below the waterline.
Depending on which ships itinerary you choose, island highlights include:
Mahe: The lush, mountainous main island with wonderful beaches, diving and snorkelling opportunities.
Praslin: enjoy a guided visit to the UNESCO world heritage site of Valle de Mai home to the Coco de Mer and endangered Black Parrot.
Cousin Island rangers introduce you to eleven endemic Seychelles species, including the bush Warbler, Blue Pigeon, Fody and the Magpie Robin.
La Digue: explore this sleepy and picturesque granitic island, with the World's best beaches and wonderful cycling, kayaking and snorkelling opportunities.
Petite Soeur and on Coco Island: a visit to this tranquil area for relaxing or snorkelling accessible only by boat.
Aride: Visit the world renowned nature reserve home to five endemic bird species.
Curieuse: Explore this spectacular granite island with 8 different species of mangrove a Giant Tortoise breeding project and an important nesting site for Hawksbill Turtles.
Each of our week long itineraries are perfect for getting the most from a shorter stay in Seychelles or extending to a 10 day or 2 week hotel combination on land. We can also extend your time in Seychelles by arranging additional outer-island exploration such as a visit to Bird Island or one of the remote private island resorts.
Whilst our Yacht Safaris can be enjoyed all year round, there are seasonal variations between the itineraries we offer. From November to April we offer a 7 night / 8 day itinerary, which embarks and disembarks in Mahé, meanwhile from May to October we offer a an additional 6 day / 7 night itinerary which embarks and disembarks in Praslin. See itinerary section for details.
