Why a clear kayak
The floor of your boat is the lagoon.
Most tours put you on the water. This one puts the water under you — a completely transparent hull over a shallow reef, so the reason you came to La Digue is visible the whole way.
- See coral, fish and rays directly beneath you
- Land on a beach that can only be reached from the sea
- Small groups, so the guide can actually talk to you

Before you book
The questions everyone asks.
Timing, families, weather and what is included — answered before you commit to anything.
Read all questionsHow do I book a tour?
Use the booking planner on the tour page. It creates a prefilled WhatsApp request with your date, party size and preferences. Your booking is confirmed once the team replies with availability and the tide-based start time.
When does the tour start?
The start time changes with the tide and may fall in the morning or the afternoon. The team runs one departure per day and confirms the best available time for your date.
Is the tour suitable for a day trip from Mahé or Praslin?
On many dates yes, but not on all of them. Some departures begin before the first ferry arrives or finish after the last one leaves, so confirm the tour time before buying fixed ferry tickets.
Is the tour family friendly?
Families are welcome. The team generally does not recommend the tour for children under three because the sea can become choppy. Ask for date-specific advice when you request your booking.
What happens if the weather changes?
Safety comes first. The team may delay the start, adjust the route or offer another available day. Confirm the current cancellation and refund terms with the team when you book.
