St. Pierre Islet
Île Saint-Pierre
A tiny granite islet just off Anse Volbert, with a few coconut palms standing on boulders. It's one of the Seychelles' most classic postcard scenes.
Île Saint-Pierre is an uninhabited islet only a few dozen meters wide, made of pinkish-grey granite and a few coconut palms. Its surrounding coral reefs are rich in fish, making it a must-stop for snorkeling trips from Praslin. It is usually visited on a half-day or full-day tour departing from Anse Volbert, often combined with the giant tortoises of Curieuse Island, or simply photographed from the beach. The islet cannot be stayed on overnight, and landing depends on sea conditions. Watch out for boat traffic while snorkeling.
