What travellers are saying
- Miro G3 contributionsOne of the best beach I have ever seen. Beautiful and calm place to stres relief. Plenty of shaded and sunny places help you to find best holiday time
Easy and quick access - by bus line 61 or 62 and cab (quite a bit more expensive, but the walk uphill then goes away — bus costs you 10 SCR only no matter from). If you come in a rental car there is a large paid parking lot down there (100 SCR I think)
Entrance is free. There is a snoorking area. There was a fatality with a shark several years ago, but this can happen anywhere. Beware of currents that pull out into the water but still safe. For families with children it is ideal, as it is shallow for a long time
The beach itself is divided into several sections separated by rocks. There is something for everyoneWritten 15 March 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Note that you need to ask your accommodation to book an entrance time for you because you need to pass Constance Lemuria Resort Gates to enter. Book a few days ahead. You can take a bus that will drop you off close to the gates. From the gates it's about 30min walk along the resort and their golf court. At the beach there are two small stands that offer juices and fruits. Bring enough liquid and snacks so you can walk back energized and well. Take note on the route to the beach so you know where to walk on the way back. Also if you go by bus it can take quite some time before the bus arrives that takes you back and check the time for the last bus (cause it's not so late). For me it was the highlight on Praslin to visit this beach and a full day adventure.Written 15 February 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- bilibelGoldau, Switzerland82 contributionsThis trip was on my personal to-do list for a long time. It’s lovely to see the giant turtles in their environment. It is not an island to spend a full day on, but perfect for an hour-two stop. There are no toilets or amenities although there were some buildings but not for tourists. Bring your own water and food and, of course, take your garbage back with you. Beautiful island.Written 9 March 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- sugeesBengaluru, India304 contributionsThe most hyped mandatory walk in Praslin is this nature reserve. Its really good, no doubt. But we were very disappointed with the behaviour of the guides. They were first of all very expensive, 1000 SCR for a guide just for 1 hour 30 minutes walk around, apart from entry ticket of 450 scr per person. Plus the way the guides discouraged us when we refused their service, was of not good taste. Fortunately we we were able to spot all the birds and amphibians/reptiles whatever to be observed on our own. We were told by the guides, if you don’t take our service, you will return empty handed. Those things to should be addressed by the tourism incharge. Its personal choice of opting guide service.
The speciality of Valee de mai is the coc de mer the famous unique design coconuts and palm trees. Being in Seychelles, you can spend 2/3 hours walking around the forest.Written 20 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The only thing we did not like is due to very fine sand, during high tide it gets very muddy and we saw 2 stingrays right by the shore and we along with few others all got out due to poor visibility on the shallow water.Written 7 September 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The snorkeling was very good in terms of fish, less so in terms of coral. But the beach on the other side of the island was heaven, and I had it almost to myself. One of the most beautiful beaches I've ever seen, and I've traveled all over the worldWritten 6 April 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- BAVESeychelles19 contributionsThe beach is beautiful, the only worries is having 200 hotel plus external visitor using this beach it would look just like ants on a sinking wood.
Better stay in small hotel.Written 19 October 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Perhaps is best combined with Curieuse or Curieuse and Cousin.Written 30 May 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Norwegian DaneHeggedal, Norway3,099 contributionsThe best and cheapest way to travel from Praslin to La Digue (and back again). The prices are a roundtrip, which makes the 30 euros a good price.Written 16 November 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- HolmgaardAssens, Denmark22 contributionsWe visited on a Sunday where the "museum" was supposed to be open (Mon-Sun 9-18), but no-one was to be found on the address.
However it was possible to walk around and see some animals and plants etc.
It seems the place was not really being maintained. Maybe due to lack of visitors during Covid-19. Animals seemed OK and well-fed 👍
In order to get full benefit from the place it must be visited when a guide is available to explain about animals and fauna.
We will return another day and see if someone will be aroundWritten 7 August 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
