Set seven kilometres north of La Digue Island, the Seychelles Coco Island has been said to offer the best snorkelling opportunities in the country. Crystal clear water, gorgeous coral and bright fish decorate the exquisite underwater landscape. Above water, the air is often calm and balmy, creating a tropical paradise for nature lovers. Near the beach, there is less coral, but there are just as many fish. Tours usually include a stop at neighbouring Sister Island, where visitors can indulge in a traditional Creole barbeque lunch, explore a coconut plantation, and relax on the sands.
