Hobie Cat Safari Sychellen

The 115 islands bath in water of 28°C, they are bordered with lagoons, covered with luxuriant endemic forests, strewn with the famous blocks of granite, and unforgettable beaches, all of this with a regular North-West trade wind all through the winter. The raids are launched from the Round Island of Praslin, passing close by many islands and islets, to arrive finally at La Digue, the most charming of all the islands. The safari stops on many marine and terrestrial reserves to make the most nature's pleasures. Every evening, dinners and the nights are spent in guest-houses close to the ocean.

safari direction of use

A safari allows navigation from one island to another, making the most of the sites visited, without the constraint of timetables, and only the weather to take into consideration.

Each catamaran has two people aboard. A French speaking, bilingual guide, who has been specially trained in the organisation of safaris, supervises the safari. A motor boat accompanies the safari to insure the safety, and to transport the baggage from one island to another. We distribute a 40 litre water-tight bag to each person, with the possibility of leaving personal effects at the base. The navigation is done on a boat without any baggage; the motor boat can carry your personal effects needed for the day's outing.

In the morning, after a hearty breakfast, carefully prepared at your accommodation, the day is dedicated to one particular objective; an island, a reserve, or some other remarkable place, situated 5 to 15 miles away, in other words, between 3 and 5 hours away.

At around mid-day, lunch is served in a village or on the beach, followed by a break for swimming, or sun bathing. The rest of the day is devoted to visiting the islands and the reserves : Lagoons, forests, mangroves, villages and beaches. Return to the accommodation at about 4 or 5pm.

Level required

The safari requires the ability to completely control a catamaran or a dingy in moderate wind. It is possible to accommodate beginners if the inscription is made at the same time as an experienced skipper. A good sporting condition is necessary, and sufficient, to benefit fully from the safari. It is imperative to know how to swim.
