La Digue, lying 45 kilometres from Mahé and 7 kilometres from Praslin is the fourth largest island in Seychelles, celebrated for its granite boulders that seem to have been sculpted by a divine hand to adorn beaches of breathtaking beauty such as Anse Source D’Argent. The island, where more traditional modes of transport such as bicycles and ox-carts still hold sway, is accessible mainly by ferries arriving and departing from the quaint jetty of La Passe. La Digue’s authentic island-style accommodation is mainly situated on the west-coast while the east remains more or less untouched.
At the L’Union Estate, visitors will have the chance to view some of the traditional local industries while nature lovers will have the opportunity to seek out the rare black paradise flycatcher (Veuve), once feared to be close to extinction but now protected in the La Digue Veuve Reserve which is also home to two other extremely rare species of terrapin. The island serves as an ideal stepping-stone to the nearby islands of Grande Soeur and Petite Soeur, Félicité, Coco and Marianne.
