Pedals & Paddles: An Adventure Awaits

La Digue Island is the focus of traditional slow-paced creole-living way of life, first inhabited in 1798. With a map in hand, start your cycling adventure by rummaging through the narrow roads that wind their way around the island. The plateau area has a combination of residential dwellings and guest houses with few hotels. The ‘Veuve Reserve’ is a sanctuary named after the endemic birds which inhabit the area.

Cycling through the narrow trails on La Digue will most commonly lead you to the timeless L’Union Estate; an absolute must see, where the old agricultural processing method is preserved. Meet the giant tortoise before passing through the vanilla plantation on your way to Anse Source d’Argent beach.

Crystal Water kayaks is located on its beautiful shores, offering guided tours in 100% transparent kayaks.

Kayaking is a great way to explore the marine life below while enjoying breath-taking scenic views of the coastline and learning about the insider’s tale of the island’s history.
