Getting Around La digue

You can only get here by boat and the only motors are the ones on that boat that brought you here. When you get off in the marina you follow the small crowds to the town and find yourself a bike rental. There is not a lot of explanation you just go with the flow and start pedaling. The island is not large but it is big enough to explore on your own and find a secluded area. Or you can simply follow the other bikers to the hotspots.

This place doesn’t seem real and if you wernt’t seeing it with your own eyes you would hardly believe its existence. Even though our time here was overcast and those pesky clouds did not want to cooperate for us, it didn’t matter.

Seychelles giant tortoise

(Aldabrachelys gigantea hololissa), also known as the Seychelles domed giant tortoise, is a tortoise subspecies in the genus Aldabrachelys. The current record for the oldest animal in the world is 190-year-old Aldabra tortoise but one these big guys has lived to be 255! Feeding these gentle giants is an amazing experience and should not be missed.
