Anse Source d’Argent is the beach the whole world knows, a sweep of sculpted pink granite and shallow turquoise water on the little island of La Digue. The finest way to take in its full scale is from just offshore, and this guided tour puts you there in a transparent, glass-bottomed kayak. You paddle the calm shallows below the famous boulders, slip into hidden coves, and land on a castaway beach for a swim, with the reef drifting under your hull the whole way. Three unhurried hours, a local guide, and small groups only.
It is the rare outing a complete beginner or a family can do with no experience, yet seasoned travellers still call it the highlight of their trip. The water is flat and see-through, your guide knows every cove and photo angle (drone shots included), and because you are on the water rather than the crowded sand, you see a side of La Digue that almost no one does.
You meet your guide on La Digue, get fitted for your transparent kayak and a short safety briefing, then set off along the south-west coast. You paddle the shallows off Anse Source d’Argent, weave between the giant granite boulders, slip into quiet coves, and land on a Robinson-Crusoe-style beach to swim, snorkel and rest before paddling back. Your guide reads the water, points out fish and the occasional ray gliding beneath the clear hull, and captures photos and drone footage of your group along the way.
La Digue is the Seychelles at its most timeless, an island of ox-carts and bicycles where Anse Source d’Argent, a beach of pink granite and glass-clear shallows, regularly tops lists of the most beautiful on earth. Reaching it from the water, in a see-through kayak, is the quietest and most spectacular way to see it. La Digue is a short ferry hop from Praslin, which connects on to Mahé; your guide confirms the exact meeting point when you book.
The best and most well-organised excursion we had in the entire Seychelles. The guide was fantastic and shared a lot of interesting knowledge in a fun, engaging way. Everything felt very safe and the kayaks were in excellent condition. Time flew by so quickly we wished it lasted even longer.
The scenery was amazing. The offshore views of Anse Source d’Argent are incredible — there is no other way to see the full magnitude of this breathtaking beach. Well organised, the whole staff were very friendly, and the drone photos were unforgettable. Our most memorable day in the Seychelles.
The staff were helpful, joyful, yet professional and entertaining. They made a group of strangers feel like an actual team, and the price is great for the views, the stories and the jokes. A must-do while visiting La Digue.
One of our greatest days on the whole vacation. Anis was a great guide and explained everything very well, in a funny and engaging way. We would 100% do it again!
No. The water off Anse Source d’Argent is shallow, calm and clear, the pace is gentle, and your guide gives a full briefing first. Beginners are comfortable within minutes.
Yes. Small groups and flat water make it a favourite for families, and younger children can share a transparent kayak with an adult.
The clear hull lets you watch the reef, fish and the occasional ray pass beneath you as you paddle, plus the granite boulders and coves of La Digue’s south-west coast from the water.
La Digue is reached by a short ferry from Praslin, which connects on to Mahé. Once you book, your guide confirms the exact meeting point and time.
It runs year-round. Mornings are calmest and best for light; afternoons are a touch cooler in the sun. Anse Source d’Argent is stunning at any time.
