An aura of charm and tranquility surrounds La
Digue. This island is accessible by boat, about two and a half hour from Mahe and thirty minutes from Praslin. For years the way of life on La Digue
has remained unchanged, transport is mainly by ox-cart or bicycle. On La
Digue, time seems to stand still.
Although La Digue can be visited on a day excursion, the island's rare calm
and friendliness of its people are too precious to be passed by in haste.
The ox-cart excursions include some of the more picturesque parts of the
island where some fine traditional houses are situated. Wide deserted
beaches are perfect for long walks, safe swimming, snorkeling and fishing.
La Digue is the fourth largest island in the Seychelles, measuring five
kilometers by three, and is part of the granite group. It lies 43 kilometers
from Mahe and six and a half from Praslin.
