Coco Island
Île Coco
A marine park of small granite islands north of La Digue, considered one of the best snorkeling spots in the Seychelles, with dense coral and fish.
The islets between Coco Island and nearby Félicité Island make up a marine park. Coco Island itself is a few boulders and a small beach, and the shallow reefs around it are densely populated with fish, often including turtles, parrotfish and reef sharks. It is the core stop of a day snorkeling trip from La Digue, usually combined with Félicité Island and Grande Soeur, with a grilled-fish lunch served on board. A day trip costs about 80–120 euros, plus a marine park fee. The boat trip from La Passe wharf on La Digue takes about 20 minutes.
