Oprah Winfrey once said, “The biggest adventure you can take is to live the life of your dreams.” In response we say, “we are giving it our best shot”. Anyone on an airplane who has flipped through the free magazine in the airline pocket has likely seen a photo of Anse Source D’Argent, a beach on La Digue. It is one of the most photographed beaches in the world and with reason. Soft blu ... read more

Is 12 days enough?
We have been thinking about visiting the Seychelles. After reading your blog we want to go there even more. I really want to see a Coco de Mer before I die. Two things I'd like to ask you now that I have the chance. Is 12 days enough? Of course you can always stay longer. But we are most likely to go there around Christmas/New Year and then we will have two weeks at the most. Second question: Is it expensive there or can you find decently priced accommodation and food? /Ake

Is 12 days enough?
Yes, you can find guest houses that are reasonably priced but not cheap. Yes, you can always stay longer but I felt 12 days was enough to see the 3 islands we went to. We had planned to scuba dive and in the end did not... since we didn't dive 10 days would have been enough or we would have opted to go to another island. I would like to see Cousins islands. The Coco de Mer is very cool You will be happy you went to these islands. We enjoyed all three. I would not skip any of the ones we went to.... now you may want to go to others.
