La Digue Sights

Sights in La Digue

  1. A

    L'Union Estate

    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.

    Veuve Reserve Information Centre

    La Digue is the last refuge of the black paradise flycatcher, which locals call the veuve (widow). This small forest reserve has been set aside to protect its natural habitat, but you're just as likely to see the birds elsewhere on the island. Entry to the reserve is free.

    Nid d'Aigle

    Ready to huff and puff? Tackle Nid d'Aigle, the highest point on La Digue (333m). It commands such spectacular views of La Digue and neighbouring islands that you'll think you're watching a movie.
