  1. Port Overview

  1. La Digue, Seychelles

  2. La Digue is the third largest inhabited island of the Seychelles, lying east of Praslin and west of Felicite Island. Island residents mostly live in the west coast villages of La Passe (linked by ferry to Praslin and Mahé) and La Réunion.

    The island's main industry is tourism and it is known for its beaches, especially Anse Source d'Argent and Grand Anse. Veuve Nature Reserve, in the island's interior, is home to the rare Black Paradise Flycatcher, of which there are only about 100 in existence. La Digue's tallest peak, Belle Vue (Eagle's Nest Mountain), is also in the central part of the island, with a summit more than 300 metres (1000 feet) above sea level.

    La Digue is also visited for its wide variety of underwater creatures like fish, sharks and rays. One can go on a boat trip or a diving trip around La Digue for either one day or half a day. Furthemore, the Veuve reserve offers tourists a hiking trip with a guide who can show them the beauty of La Digue.
