Although La Digue can be visited on a day excursion, the island's rare calm and friendliness of its people are too precious to be passed by in haste. The ox-cart excursions include some of the more picturesque parts of the island where some fine traditional houses are situated. Wide deserted beaches are perfect for long walks, safe swimming, snorkelling and fishing. In the woods of La Digue can be found the rare black paradise flycatcher. Although this bird was once thought to be extinct, recent estimates suggest that there may be as many as one hundred on the island. Cycads, one of the oldest and most primitive of plants, are to be seen growing above the quiet roads of the island.

La Digue is the fourth largest island in the Seychelles, measuring five kilometres by three, and is part of the granitic group. It lies 43 kilometres from Mahé and six and a half from Praslin. The island has no natural harbour and is protected by the coral reefs which circle it, together with masses of pink granite rocks which seem to have exploded around the coastline. The hotels on La Digue are mostly situated along the west coast, between La Passe, L'Union and Anse Reunion. The east coast is far wider. cool

About Seychelles-travel-uk.co.uk
Seychelles-travel-uk.co.uk is your guide to information and booking resources for an island paradise. The beautiful Seychelles islands are amongst the most romantic places in the world. They will amaze every visitor with their crystal blue seas, pristine coral reefs and soft sandy beaches, contrasting with their huge granite rocks and lush green rainforest.

The islands occupy nearly one million square kilometres of the Indian Ocean east of Kenya. Only a few of the 115 islands are inhabited, with most of most of the local population on the main island, Mahé and the capital city of Victoria.

We include the popular island of Praslin, about 20 miles north east of Mahé, which is a popular stop for cruise ships, and is ideal for honeymoon couples and beach connoisseurs. The most popular beach, Anse lazio, is its best. But there are many other small, secluded beaches with crystal clear waters.

Though Mahé itself is very populated and well-developed, there are still many beaches, fine peaks and plenty if stunning mountain scenery ideal for walking and hiking.

Please take a look round!
