DISCOVERING THE SEYCHELLES ISLANDS
Exploring the Seychelles Islands by catamaran is an incredible way to discover the stunning beauty of the Indian Ocean. The archipelago is comprised of 115 islands that showcase the grand diversity of Seychelles. Each island has its unique character and personality, much like a large and diverse family. These islands are scattered over 1,400,000 sq km. of the ocean, offering visitors ample opportunities to explore and discover the hidden gems of the region. It's no wonder that every visitor to Seychelles wants to explore as many islands as possible during their stay. The Seychelles islands can be divided into two categories: the 41 'inner' granitic islands and the 'outer' coral islands. The 'inner' granitic islands are the backbone of Seychelles' tourism offerings, providing visitors with a wide range of services and amenities. These islands are easily accessible through a selection of day trips and excursions, making them a popular choice for tourists. On the other hand, the 'outer' coral islands are more remote and require at least an overnight stay to fully appreciate their beauty. These islands are often overlooked by tourists, but they offer an unparalleled opportunity to experience nature in its purest form. Cruising the Seychelles Islands on a catamaran is the perfect way to explore both the 'inner' granitic and 'outer' coral islands. It's a dream vacation that offers the chance to discover the beauty of the Indian Ocean at your own pace. So, come aboard and experience the magic of Seychelles with Pearls of Seychelles.
