Suitable for first-timers and thrill-seekers, the activity is run by trained guides with modern safety equipment.

Deep‑sea/big‑game fishing charter
Experience world-class big-game and deep-sea fishing in the clear tropical waters around Mahé and Praslin. These charters target trophy species — blue and black marlin, sailfish, yellowfin tuna, wahoo, dorado (mahi-mahi) and more — using professional tournament-style rigs, live or dead bait, and experienced crews who know the best grounds, currents and seasonal patterns. Charters cater to anglers of all levels from first-timers to serious tournament fishermen, and are offered as half-day, full-day or overnight trips.

Taste Creole cuisine (octopus curry, grilled fish)
Experience authentic Seychellois Creole flavours on a multi-island culinary journey that highlights signature dishes such as octopus curry and freshly grilled fish. This activity blends market visits, hands-on cooking, beachside meals and island-hopping to taste local seafood prepared with coconut, curry spices and Creole techniques.

Victoria clocktower, museums and colonial landmarks
Overview: A compact, pedestrian-friendly exploration of Victoria (capital of Mahé, Seychelles) that highlights the iconic Victoria Clocktower (Lorloz), the city's key museums, and surviving colonial-era buildings and landmarks. Ideal for history lovers and travelers who want a cultural snapshot of Seychelles' colonial past and local life in one easy walk.

Play the championship course at Constance Lemuria Golf
Constance Lemuria's championship 18‑hole course on Praslin is one of the most scenic island golf experiences in the Indian Ocean. Carved into coastal granite outcrops and tropical vegetation, the layout offers a mix of seaside holes with sweeping ocean views and sheltered inland fairways. The course suits both low‑handicap players seeking a strategic test and recreational golfers who want to enjoy spectacular landscapes while playing a championship routing.

Surfing at Grand Anse or Anse Intendance (seasonal)
Surfing on Mahé’s southwest coast—at Grand Anse and the exposed Anse Intendance—is a seasonal, scenic beach-break and reef-break experience. These beaches offer powerful waves, warm water, and dramatic granite backdrops. Conditions vary with the swell and monsoon: Grand Anse tends to be more forgiving for intermediate surfers while Anse Intendance delivers stronger, hollow waves suited to experienced riders.

Spa day with coco‑de‑mer inspired treatments
A luxurious half- or full-day spa experience using formulations and rituals inspired by the Seychelles’ endemic coco‑de‑mer (Lodoicea maldivica). Treatments combine locally sourced extracts (where sustainably available), native botanicals, marine minerals and gentle island massage techniques to soothe, hydrate and rejuvenate. Offered at select luxury and boutique spas across Mahé, Praslin and La Digue, the program emphasizes well‑being, local culture and ecological responsibility.

Day trip to St Pierre islet for snorkeling
Short, scenic boat ride to a small granite islet with excellent shallow reef snorkeling. Ideal for beginners and experienced snorkelers who want clear water, colorful reef fish, and dramatic granite rock scenery. Trips are commonly combined with visits to Anse Lazio or Curieuse Island.
