Activities in Seychelles

A
L'Union Estate & Copra Factory
At one time, the main industry on La Digue was coconut farming, centred on L'Union Estate coconut plantation south of La Passe. These days L'Union Estate is run as an informal 'theme park', with demonstrations of extracting oil from copra (dried coconut flesh). Also in the grounds are the Old Plantation House, a colonial-era graveyard, a boatyard and the obligatory pen of giant tortoises.

Nature Seychelles
About 2km southwest of Praslin, Cousin Island is run as a nature reserve by Nature Seychelles . The bird population is estimated to exceed 300,000 on an island measuring just 1km in diameter. It's an amazing experience to walk through thick forest with birds seemingly nesting on every branch.

Utetangar Riding Centre
We recommend taking a one-hour horseback riding excursion with Utetangar Riding Centre. There's nothing quite like galloping on Grande Anse beach with the wind in your hair. You'll also traverse some rainforest. Book one day in advance.
