Sports and leisure activities Seychelles

The owner of Petra's Guesthouse offers excursions to make the snorkeling to Coco and Grande Soeur and to explore sea turtles on Congratulations.

You can't miss this Nevis from his 6-foot-tall body! And don't be fooled by appearances: last but not least its nonchalance and its rasta-like airs, it enjoys a very good reputation for its excursions and especially its barbecues with fresh fish or chicken with homemade sauce... A delight! As for outings, it's flippers, mask and snorkel or fishing on the neighbouring islands with his motor boat, Zico 1. We end the day by snorkeling around Coco, in the marine reserve. A very pleasant outing where we take the time to discover the marine and underwater wonders of the area.

" Dive the South ": from Turtle Rock to Shark Point and from Pirates Cove to Lost City, Jonathan and his team propose to make you discover about fifteen attractive sites in the underwater world of the southwest coast of Mahé. Notice to the amateurs of underwater beauties! The center, located just in front of Anse à la Mouche, has four boats and is certified PADI 5 Stars center. After your diving session, a take-away (with fluctuating hours) and some good restaurants are waiting for you in the surroundings of the club.

For decades, golf enthusiasts have been enjoying the coconut grove as a backdrop... Inaugurated with great pomp in 1972, this 9-hole course has been somewhat forgotten in recent years. Often criticized for its too tight course, it now looks very old-fashioned compared to the spectacular 18-hole course of Praslin's Lemuria, considered to be one of the most beautiful in the world. Nevertheless, it remains a pleasant place for those who love to golf. Directly managed by its hundred or so members (half of whom are foreigners), the Seychelles Golf Club is also open to tourists.

Possibility to perform courses of 2, 3, 4 or 8 days, to make night dives…

Directed by Pierre d'Offay, Privateer Boat Charter can organize fishing parties on half-day or by day, or rent a boat to the quidam de passage.

Angel Tours (which belongs to Tropique Villa) offers beautiful sea trips. Everything is possible with these two recent boats, from simple excursions to the islands of Curieuse, Soeur, Saint-Pierre (the rates are higher than those of Côte d'Or because we are further away, but the view of Anse Kerlan and Anse Georgette are magnificent) or even simple sea excursions. For those who would like to go fishing, big game fishing trips with a catamaran are also available (about 500 € for half a day and 800 € for a day).

Ah! what a joy that trotter on the sand at a time when the sun falls on the west coast… It is a Caractère Seychelles-Mork, Barbora Panovsky-Mork, which holds this too discreet equestrian centre dedicated to forest and beach walks. No less than eleven Arab sang (and ponies) for riders of all levels, the one hour hike costing 50 €.

From Channel Rocks to Roche Marianne and Ave Maria at Coco Island, about 5 underwater sites (from 30 to m) for more or less close encounters with tuna, carangues, barracuda, lines, sharks, turtles and others around the dive master PADI and the instructors of the only diving club on the island, attached to La Digue Lodge.

Diving Mask and Snorkeling or Bottle: the ocean à la carte with the diving centre of the Berjaya, certified PADI Gold Palm 5 Star. Possibility of packages of six or ten dives, organising night dives…

A 42-foot catamaran to explore deserted beaches of lost islands and underwater treasures of the archipelago. All in luxury, since the boat of six cabins is rented with a skipper and a chef of kitchen.

Joël is our darling! Incredibly kind. He offers to rent his superb catamaran for an unforgettable day out with family or friends. A 14 m fiberglass sailboat with two comfortable cabins, a galley and two bathrooms, it's easy to sail around Coco, Aride, Cousin or La Digue. Excursions include lunch, with a choice barbecue featuring fresh fish, fine meats, Creole dishes and salads. What's more? Complimentary soft drinks at the end of the day!

This is the latest activity that is popular with tourists from all over the world who come to La Digue! These glass-bottomed kayaks allow you to enjoy the sea bed of one of the most beautiful beaches in the world without even getting in the water. The company also offers 3-hour guided tours around the island, including one with a stopover at Anse Pierrot, accessible only by sea, which served as the setting for the movie Robinson Crusoe filmed here in 1988, an express training to open coconuts, the exploration of secret caves and tunnels.

This golf course is certainly one of the ten most beautiful in the world. Since 2000, the Lemuria boasts a spectacular 18-hole course: 5,556 m of full and untied holes in a paradisiacal site. With a wide range of levels, deploying its fairways from Anse Kerlan to Anse Georgette, between bodies of water and exotic vegetation, and in languid curves, some thirty employees are busy maintaining this exceptional course in an exemplary manner. However, after having enjoyed such a scenery, it is difficult to put it back on less enchanting grounds.
