• Curieuse Island - One of the most interesting areas of the island is the mangrove swamp bordering Baie Laraie. Here, six of the seven species of mangroves known to Seychelles are found. A boardwalk built on piling goes through the swamp, allowing visitors to access the mangrove habitat even at high tide.
  Curieuse is home to hundreds of giant tortoise which were introduced between 1978 and 1982. As part of the conservation programme, there is a tortoise nursery on the island, where tortoises are nurtured until they are five years old, when they are released into the wild.
• Ilot Saint-Pierre - The iconic snorkeling spot St. Pierre is just one of the many small islands in the Côte d’Or bay on Praslin’s north-west coast. This tiny, 5,000 square-metre island lies about 1.5 km away from the beach of Anse Volbert.

The granite rock that towers out of the turquoise sea, with its small palm crown, epitomises the Seychelles perfectly. St. Pierre is popular with snorkellers and sailors, and you can also swim here if you like. Almost every boat trip from the neighbouring island of Praslin finishes its tour with a snorkelling excursion here. In addition to countless colourful reef fish, you will also likely see sea turtles here, while, high above the island, white-tailed tropical birds fly around, surveying the area.

Until 1972, guano was mined on the island, and since 1979, the island has been a part of the Curieuse Marine National Park. The latest information on boat rides and snorkelling trips to St. Pierre can be obtained from your holiday accommodation.
