Overview
For travellers who prefer to set their own pace and write their own island story, this round-trip boat transfer from Mahé to La Digue is the ideal choice. Simple, seamless, and deeply rewarding — it places you on one of the most beautiful islands in the world and gives you the freedom to explore it entirely as you wish.
Departing Mahé in the early morning hours, the crossing aboard a comfortable 33-foot glass-bottom boat is a journey in itself — the Indian Ocean glittering in the early light, the silhouette of La Digue slowly taking shape on the horizon. Upon arrival, the island is yours. No fixed itinerary, no rushing — just the open paths, pristine beaches, and quiet rhythms of La Digue at your complete disposal.
The iconic Anse Source d'Argent is a natural first destination — a beach of extraordinary beauty where ancient granite boulders frame shallow turquoise lagoons and powder-white sand. For those drawn to wilder, more secluded shores, Grand Anse offers a raw and untouched coastline where the sense of solitude is complete. The historic L'Union Estate invites a step back in time, with giant Aldabra tortoises roaming freely among the remains of a former coconut and vanilla plantation, and traditional Creole crafts still practised on the grounds.
La Digue Village rewards a leisurely wander — colourful Creole houses, local markets, and the warm hospitality of islanders who are proud of their home. Sample fresh seafood, pick up a local fruit, and take your time. In the early afternoon, the boat returns you to Mahé, carrying with it the kind of quiet contentment that only a truly beautiful day can leave behind.
