La Digue, Seychelles

Our ship left Mahé, Seychelles at 4:00am and after a short distance anchored neat island of La Digue.

We did not have a tour, so we took a tender boat to the island as soon as it was possible and by 8:45am were on the ground. We took first available taxi to get to the most famous beach Anse Source D’Argent. It is located only one mile from the tender port. It was probably the most expensive one mile ride we ever had.

To get to the beach, we had to enter L’Union Estate, a historic vanilla and coconut plantation. Our goal was the beach, so we did not spend anytime in plantation, except paying an entrance fee.
When we got to the beach….oh, it was a paradise. Crystal clear warm water, white sand and fish that swim right to your feet. I even managed to touch few of them.
And at this time, there were no people except us. Later, more tourists came. We stayed on the beach for 3 hours and took a golf cart back to our tender boat.
It was a perfect day in paradise.Read more
