The Seychelles archipelago will head the list of most people's dream locations. Uninhabited until the end of the 1700s, today they reveal wild nature, virgin forests, granite and coral islands, each one different from the next, and there's no better way of exploring than by boat. The Sea Pearl is a wooden sailboat, historical and imposing, which leaves from the port of Mahe and carries you somewhere different each day. From Praslin Island, famous for its Anse Lazio beach, a half-moon of golden sand with some of the clearest waters in the archipelago, to the island of La Digue with its immense granite cliffs which invade the coastline for nearly 500 meters in a succession of natural pools. Then we go under sail again towards the island of Curieuse where the giant turtles come to reproduce, and the tiny Aride island which is the best point to see the spectacular flight of the frigatebird which, like us on this sail boat, are suspended between sea and sky, vagabonds hopping between these beautiful islands.
