What the crossing is like.
This is the shortest and the happiest of the three. Fifteen minutes of catamaran between two islands that almost touch, over water in a turquoise that does not look real from the deck.
There are no cars waiting at the other end. There are bicycles, and now and then an ox cart by the La Passe jetty, and that is where a different way of travelling starts. Because it runs almost hourly it is the easy day trip from Praslin: go in the morning, see Anse Source d'Argent, come back in the afternoon.

How long does the Praslin to La Digue ferry take?
About fifteen minutes, on the Cat Rose.
What does the Praslin to La Digue ferry cost?
From €15 one way, the shortest and the cheapest of the three crossings. That is about ₹1,600.
How early should we be at the jetty?
Boarding opens thirty minutes before departure and the gate closes fifteen minutes before. Half an hour is enough. An hour is comfortable.
Is luggage included?
Yes, with no weight limit worth worrying about. The crew stow the big cases themselves and hand baggage stays with you.
Can we change the ticket?
Up to three working days before departure. After that it is fixed, so it is worth settling the date early rather than holding it open.
Is the sea rough?
From June to September it can be, when the south-east trades are blowing. It is not dangerous and it is not the open ocean, but it moves. Sit in the middle of the boat, keep your eyes on the horizon, and take something an hour before if you are prone to it.
Do you sell the tickets?
No. Tickets are sold by Viator, our partner, at the operator's own price. We add nothing to it, and this site earns a commission from Viator if you book through our link.
Going to La Digue?
Book the crossing through the partner ticket, and let Meera put the car, the room and the days around it.
