La Digue Island

The slow-paced, sleepy La Digue is the third most important island of the archipelago. You will be pleased to learn that there is only a few of vehicles, so everyone gets around either on foot or by bicycle and recently electric buggies have been introduced. It is around 15 minute ferry ride from Praslin or 90 minutes from Mahé to this unique island.  La Digue is renown for its gigantic granite formation, culture as well as the world known Anse Source d’Argent beach.  Hiking (accompanied by a local guide) over the hills of the island is a must.
