2 Days in La Digue – A Dreamy Island That Exists In Real
1. bulbulonthewing July 5,

To travel is to live!
bulbulonthewing.com/2019/07/05/la-digue-seychelles-a-dreamy-island-that-exists-in-real/
La Digue is the third most populated island of Seychelles. It is smallest of the three main
Islands in Seychelles, with a population of 2000. If you stay here even for a day, you will
run into the same people quite a few times. The island is extremely laid-back with just a
handful of motor vehicles on the road. People either walk or ride bicycles thereby giving
the Island a relaxed vibe.
Boasting of one of the world’s most photographed beaches, Anse Source d’Argent, the
island oozes charm. Your trip to Seychelles is not complete without visiting La Digue. La
Digue is the real definition of allure. People generally plan a day trip here either from
Mahe or Praslin even though the fascinating island is worth spending a couple of days or
more. Personally, I want to go to La Digue again and stay for a week or more…just to
enjoy nature and do nothing.
A fun fact
Seychelles is a Malaria free country. Yes, you read that right. Anopheles mosquitoes,
which transmit the malaria parasite by their bite are present almost throughout the
world. Only five areas are exceptions: Antarctic and Iceland, where there are no
mosquitoes at all, New-Caledonia, the Central Pacific islands, like French Polynesia, and
the Seychelles in the Indian Ocean.
This does not mean that there no mosquitoes on the island. I recommended applying
mosquito repellent all the time.

Accommodation
You can get a decent apartment for approx 80-100 Euros per night. La Digue is
expensive as accommodation options are limited here as compared to Mahe and Praslin.
I stayed at Elje Villa, Anse La Reunion. The bedroom is small but nice. However, the
common kitchen and drawing room is quite big and nicely decorated. Contact the host in
case of any doubts about the amenities. The staff will try to help the best they can. There
are 2 adorable dogs here as well.

source_impression_id=p3_1562432304_58G0t6oCuF8AmHNk
There is a supermarket nearby at a distance of about half a kilometer.
Reaching La Digue
There is only one international airport in Seychelles which is in Mahe. Thus, you can
either take a helicopter (there is a helipad in La Digue) or ferry to La Digue.
It is advisable to book your ferry tickets in advance although I could see the tickets being
sold on the spot as well. Nevertheless, it is better to buy in advance rather than
disturbing the itinerary at the end moment. I booked my ferry tickets through Cat Cocos.
One tip
Put the valuable and important things in your carry bags. The staff will ask you to check
in your big suitcases and handbags. They will allow carrying a small light bag.
Conveyance from La Digue Jetty
As mentioned in my earlier blog on Mahe, driving is the way to travel around in
Seychelles. But, it is the bicycle which you have to ride to explore La Digue. You can rent
one from the jetty itself or request for one from your host. The rent is approx 9-11 Euros
a day If you take a taxi to your accommodation, the minimum fare would be around 5-6
Euros.
Getting around in La Digue
The best is to walk or cycle. As mentioned above, you can rent a bicycle either from the
jetty or your host for 9-11 Euros a day. There is an option of taxi (too fast) and ox cart
(too slow) as well. But, it is expensive and not worth when you are on such a heavenly
island. Nevertheless, Cliff Pirame is a reliable taxi service. But, book them well in
advance. The fare ranges from 120-150 Euros per day.

3. One tip here
If you are 2 or more, bargain for the bicycle rent. I bargained for 2 bicycles at 17 Euros
for both. I was quoted 20 Euros.
A couple of tips here
Do check with your hotel/host if they provide complimentary bicycles and transfer
service from the jetty.
It is better that you rent a bicycle from the jetty itself. If you are carrying no more
than 2-3 medium-sized bags and your property is not very far from the jetty, the
owner of the bicycle usually carries all your bags and will drop you to your
property. This is a great help as you will save on the taxi fare.
Exploring La Digue – Top things to do
1) L’Union Estate Park
The estate is situated in the L’Union Village and is the biggest building on the island
belonging to France Alber Rene, the former president of the Seychelles. The park is a
national reserve. You need to pay an entrance fee of approx 6 Euros at the park
entrance. The ticket gives access to tourist attractions inside the park and is valid for the
whole day.
3/23
4. a) Anse Source d’Argent
Have you ever seen beautiful photos of beaches and wondered if beaches like this
actually exist in the real world? Well, you will believe it when you visit Anse Source
d’Argent.
This picturesque beach seems to be
decorated by mother nature herself with
every rock, tree, and granite boulders
being unique and spectacular. The crystal
clear turquoise water adds immensely to
the beauty. You feel like you are in the
arms of nature. The length of the beach,
with small bays, is about a kilometer.
Every 100-150 meters provides a different
view. The beach is perfect for snorkeling.
Movies like Crusoe, Emmanuelle and
Cast Away have been shot here.
Tips for Source d’Argent
Try to visit the beach before 11 am (access to the beach opens at 7 am) to avoid
daytrippers crowd from Mahe and Praslin. You will have the beach to yourself to
click enviable photos. I was at the beach at 2 pm but didn’t find a lot of people. I
guess I was lucky.
Wear sunscreen all the time just like at any other beach.
Wear rubber slippers/shoes to protect your feet against corals.
Carry your snorkeling kit as the beach is excellent for the activity.

b) Giant Union Rock
It is the largest contiguous granite rock on earth and is said to be over 700 million years
old. Climb the mountain to enjoy a beautiful sunset from its summit.

8. Giant Union Rock
c) Rare Aldabra Giant Land Tortoises
The main population (some 100000) of the Aldabra giant tortoises resides on the islands
of the Aldabra Atoll in the Seychelles. You can find a few of this species in a small
enclosure in the park. A board near the enclosure said that these tortoises were between
30-100 years old. I was amazed to see the tortoises as I had never seen such giant ones
8/23
9. before. It was lovely feeding them though I felt sorry for them as they cannot go out of
that enclosure.
9/23
10. d) Coconut plantation
It is like any other coconut plantation. However, you should find joy in small things too.
Well, I myself plucked a coconut from the tree and had it. Yes, a couple of kind
Indians, who were the caretakers as well, helped me. So, I had fresh coconut water on
the farm itself.
10/23
12. e) Vanilla Plantation
This was one of the things that were fascinating to me and I was very keen on visiting. I
had heard that one can smell (quite a strong one) vanilla as soon as you enter the
plantation. But unfortunately, the harvesting season is from May to August. However, the
caretaker showed me the flowers of the plants which had a vanilla fragrance. So, I was
not very disappointed.
f) Coconut Mill
Here it is shown how they process green coconuts make coconut oil. Also, they also use
the residue to make toilet paper and pot scrubber. This can be skipped if you want to
spend more time on the beach.
g) House of the owners of the plantation
This is a 19th-century house, which was also used for Emmanuelle movie. The house was
under renovation and therefore was not opened to the visitors.
One tip here – What to buy
There is a small souvenir shop inside the park itself. The is a fixed price here. You can
buy vanilla essence, coconut face scrub, and nutmeg from here. I had bought these and I
do not regret at all. Vanilla essence is the best since it is directly from the farms. Just one
very small drop will bring out the flavor.
2) Cycle around and explore
12/23
13. Well, this was actually the best part of my Seychelles trip. Apart from beaches, there is so
much more beauty this island has to provide. Given that it is less than 5km from north
to south, the best and enjoyable mode to get around is on foot or bicycle. I was staying
in the western tip of the island. Therefore, I could easily bike towards the east and then
towards the north. The path is pleasing to the eyes, ears, and heart. I wish I could
explain someone else’s eyes how hypnotizing the path was; I wish I could explain
someone else’s ears how the sound of the ocean waves and breeze in a peaceful
island recharged my mind, and I wish I could explain someone else’s heart how the
charm of island sank deeper in my heart with every heartbeat.
It gets difficult to cycle at some points though. But as they say – Difficult road often lead
to a beautiful destination…There are a couple of juice stalls on the route where you can
take a halt and refresh yourself. I did cycle towards the south as well. But, it did not
excite me that much. There are beautiful beaches down south as well. However, could
not go to any beach as it was too windy and rainy and hence wasn’s safe.
Who says death and beauty are incompatible?
13/23
22. And the dead-end is here
3) Other beautiful beaches
https://youtu.be/kp5hFEMPtgE
22/23
23. If you have time in hand, there are several other beaches on the island.
a) Grand Anse
It is considered as one of the most beautiful beaches on La Digue. The beach is good or
surfing and sunbathing.
b) Petite Anse
Some people suggest that Petite Anse is more beautiful than Grand Anse, thanks to its
incredible scenery.
c) Anse Severe
It is one of the most renowned beaches, thanks to its incredible sunset views. The beach
is equally beautiful during the day, with shallow, calm water and excellent views of the
ocean and of Praslin. The beach is great for swimming and snorkeling.
A few other are Anse Banane, Anse Cocos, Anse Fourmis, Anse La Reunion etc.
La Digue is one of those destinations where I would like to go back. It is a different
world here. The air is pure and fresh. People here do not leave in a culture full of
hares. It is a stress-free and relaxed life here.
