Our dedicated team at Kreol Services has put together a few ideas you can use for your Praslin Road Trip. But before you can go anywhere, you will need to get in touch with our team of consultants to reserve the perfect rental car for your trip on Praslin. Once you have your rental you can start your morning with a trip to Vallée de Mai, head to Zimbabwe Viewpoint, have lunch at Anse Lazio Beach, head to Cote d’Or, and lastly, if it’s not completely out of your way, we would suggest ending your day with a spectacular sunset at Grande Anse or Lemuria Beachfront.
Start your morning at Vallée de Mai
Vallée de Mai is one of the world’s smallest UNESCO World Heritage Sites, and millions of years of isolation have led to the evolution of many unique species in this forest that are found nowhere else in the world. Described as the true ‘Garden of Eden’, the green heart of Praslin is a living remnant of the ancient palm forests on the island and contains the largest intact forest of the endemic Coco De Mer palm. Kids will love spotting the giant Coco de Mer nuts, forest wildlife like the Seychelles Black Parrot, and hearing all about the prehistoric jungle of Seychelles.
Make a scenic stop at Zimbabwe Viewpoint
After exploring Vallée de Mai, head to Zimbabwe Viewpoint, which is just a few minutes away from the nature reserve. Enjoy a scenic stop boasting panoramic views after a fun, uphill drive to the viewpoint. This will be a great opportunity to take one of those iconic family vacation photos! Someone is bound to make a funny face or have their eyes closed in the picture.
Stop by the beach at Anse Lazio
This piece of paradise offers soft white sand and crystal-clear waters. A short walk from the nearest parking spot leads you to this tropical haven known to be one of the safest and most beautiful beaches on the island. So, grab your snorkel gear and flippers, and explore the spectacular underwater life. After your swimming excursion, you can have a family meal at one of the nearby restaurants like Le Chevalier Bay or pack a picnic basket and enjoy a lovely meal under the swaying palm trees.
Relax at Côte d’Or
This popular beach is filled with numerous eateries and activities. When driving here, you can take pleasure in swimming, snorkelling, enjoy a meal at a beachfront café, buy ice cream, or stop by one of the souvenir stalls to take a part of Seychelles back home. If you plan on being a bit more adventurous, you can always book a short glass-bottom boat ride with your family to take the kids out on the ocean to view the vibrant coral reefs down below. Kreol cars all have AC, so you can travel comfortably!
Make a Sunset Stop at Grande Anse or Lemuria Beachfront
End your day by stopping at Grande Anse or the Lemuria Beachfront if it’s close to where you and your family will be staying. This unique spot on the island of Praslin is known for its breathtaking sunsets, which can be enjoyed while having a casual family dinner and sampling some local Creole cuisine.
Praslin Island is the second-largest island in the Seychelles archipelago; however, it’s still relatively small in size and easy to navigate by car. A road trip with a rental car is the best way to explore all the attractions and activities the island has to offer. Are you visiting as a family? Choose from the best things to do with kids on the island of Praslin!
