The Seychelles Paddling in Eden

An archipelago made of 115 granite and coral islands,The Seychelleslies north of Madagascar has been described as "a string of pearls set in the azure waters of the Indian ocean."

This trip is all about kayaking in a paradise of many islands which can only be reached by sea. Many are inhabited and untouched with abundance of wildlife and clear blue seas, each with its own character, beauty and charm with lush tropical vegetation clinging to steep mountainsides. Kayaking between the islands will give us the opportunity to experience the Seychelles' uniqueness.

Cousine Island - a small and rare bird sanctuary, Curieuse Island - a national park inhabited by more than 350 Tortoise , La Digue Island - "the land that time forgot" with its superb beaches framed by gigantic sculptured boulders. Perslin - the second largest island in which lies the mysterious palm Forest the Coco the Mer, St. Pierre and Coco Islands – known for its breathtaking coral reefs.

Sure enough there will be time set aside for snorkeling where hundreds of colorful reef fish may be seen alongside superb beaches framed by gigantic sculptured granite boulders. For those who are interested in perfecting their kayaking skills, you can take advantage of Terra Santa B.C.U Instructors, their top quality kayaks as well as the pleasant water temperature.
  

Yacht-Based 7 Day Kayak Trip

During this trip we sleep in the same room every night but in different locations. Our base is a modern sailing yacht with high standards of comfort and luxury. This allows us a lot of flexibility in choosing our paddling destination for each day according to the weather and paddlers' abilities, as well as "picking up" tired paddlers who prefer to relax on board with a glass of wine. It is a great opportunity for "non paddling" family/friends to join the trip and enjoy sailing with 5 modern bermuda sails or go scuba diving.
