The day trip was nice, however there are only 3 negatives:
1- Too much time spent talking about the coco de mer
2- When we arrived to la digue and was dropped off for lunch, the tour guide guide with the previous group and we were left stranded at the restaurant for 30 minutes in the sun. The tour guide should have stayed with the last group of people and made sure everyone was transported to the next point of interest.
3- The entry ticket to the national park / beach in la digue should be arranged before the time to avoid unnecessary queuing and waiting as this caused a delay.

I liked the fact we could visit two islands on the same day. The islands are just wonderful. About the trip I must highlight three negative aspects that probably Viator do not know: Viator does its best! But the operators are not always the best..
1. The boat is very old, not in good condition and is quite dangerous; Something in the boat burned, in the middle of the journey, there was a burned smell, we had to be on the water about 15min (with the boat balancing or floating which made me sick and nervous but the worse is there wasn’t an extintor on the boat! If a fire would happen (and we were not far from that…), we would have to jump on the water (with probably sharks around and we a would all loose our phones and cameras! and risking our lives). Viator should definitely speak about this with the operator because there are many other good and safe boats.
2. The driver of the boat was extremely rude and abrupt; he cannot be in contact with the tourists because his abruptness is extremely shocking.
3. We were obliged to remove the shoes before entering the boat and the floor of the boat was dirty. Not difficult to get a micose there…
4. At Praslin, it was not given the time and the opportunity to visit the most famous and world heritage park Vallé de Mai. The fact that we have to pay the entrance, is fair and absolutely fine. The problem is to wish to go in, and no chance.
This is important for Viator to know and improve by speaking with the operator or changing the operator.
To change the boat and the driver of the boat, is really a MUST!
Thank you for the attention

This was an amazing tour. Our tour guides were knowledgeable and very accommodating to our entire group. I could not have asked for a better experience! Praslin was as advertised, it was sad that we could not do more in the Vallee de Mai but considering the time, it was fun to get the education on the Coco de Mar that we got. If you can, skip this portion and go straight to La Digue as you will have more time at the beaches in La Digue. You would miss out on Anse Lazio beach, which is beautiful and worth the time, but that's the decision you have to make two beaches and an educational experience or one really amazing beach with more time. La Digue is the best and Anse Source d'Argent is the best place I have ever visited.

Prasline was s joke. Didn’t even go to the heritage park to see coco de mar. They pull off into a parking lot and show you two coconuts then take you to an average beach. La digue was awesome and i recommend going.
