This is set in a spectacular location with some of the most breathtaking scenery in the world. You will drive back to Johannesburg for your flight back to the Seychelles.

At Mahe you will connect with the short inter island flight across to Praslin often called the Honeymoon Isle. Here you will be met at the airport and transported across the isalnd to La Reserve Hotel. This is a beautifully situated hotel set entirely within its own bay. There are stunning views acros to Curieuse Island which is home to some of the oldest and largest tortoises in the world. You will be enchanted by their friendly disposition. The rooms are beautifully decorated and feature air conditioning - many with sea views.

Although the price is quoted on a half board basis, the hotel does provide afternoon tea which includes sandwiches. Breakfast and dinner is served in the restaurant which juts out into the bay.

At night you can watch the fish milling around in the water just below you and illuminated by lights. There are plenty of opportunities to enjoy the warm water of the bay and the hotel provides snorkelling equipment. The hotel's excellent pool features a swim up bar.

Various excursions are provided including trips to Curieuse, snorkelling on St Pierre and Sisters Islands and a walk in the Vallee De Mai Nature Reserve where you can see the suggestive Coco De Mer Palms growing and if you are fortunate gain a glimpse of the rare black parrot. In addition it is easy to go by boat to La Digue Island and also a hire car can be arranged so that you can explore this fascinating island.

A visit to nearby Anse Lazio, featured on many posters of The Seychelles is a must - particularly towards sunset. This will be a holiday to remember and can also be extended to include Cousine, Fregate and Mahe islands.
