in #travel7 years ago

What an incredible day! Wild dolphins, catamaran trip to pristine beaches and hidden gems in tropical paradise - the Seychelles.

I’ve never had a day filled with with this many “pinch-myself-in-the-arm-moments”. While we are cruising on a catamaran between small islands, three dolphins decided to say hi to us. We got to meet some huge turtles and also spotted a stingray.

Snorkeling is one of my favorite activities. I love being in the water, and thankfully my travel buddy, @laivi, also loves the sea! We can hang out in the ocean for hours. The sailboat took us to a coral reef and let us snorkel for a while, before it was time for BBQ dinner on board the boat!

Moyenne Island was one of the islands the boat stopped at. This island has a very interesting story and it was a fun place to explore! The story includes rumors of a hidden treasure!

We still have more than a week left here, and I can’t wait to see what we’ll discover next!

Very beautiful place....palms, blue water and old turtle :)

Åh! Dette ser jo bare helt fantastisk deilig ut! Seychellene er et sted som står på bucketlista. Snorkling i slike omgivelser er jo helt magisk, jeg gjorde det i Great Barrier Reef i Australia, kommer aldri til å glemme det.

Når jeg leser og ser sånne bilder, så er det bare til å begynne å spare opp penger til å oppleve dette på nytt igjen :)

Ser ut som du har det som plommen i egget, kos deg videre i paradis! :)

Wow! It's such a paradise indeed @susanne. I hope you always be happy wherever you go because life, is a precious thing we have to enjoy :)

beautiful beach :)

That water looks so incredibly beautiful :) I’m jealusssss lol . I love turtles actually ! My mom has always had a special thing for turtles so I grew up around a lot of turtles. I appreciate your post :)

Wow! Beautiful! Makes me hate myself that I'm at home right now working (or should I say steeming). Enjoy! And post more pics!

Such a beautiful place
Good for you

Watch out for the coconuts and fast moving turtles! :)

I wish I could also travel even not around the world but to just once in a year.

I have never done snorkeling myself but have heard so many friends recommending it that it I really need to plan something. You have captured some amazing photos as well

Amazing pictures! It looks like it's beautiful there, the water seems clear and I guess that there's a lot to see :)

The water is such a beautiful color!

That crystal clear sea is amazing. It would be cool if you could post some underwater shots :)

everything looks amazing ! Beautiful shots on beautiful place !!

Such as these beaches relax the heart and saturation of the eye and gives a sense of happiness

Wow watching dolphins must have been so much fun. Have been so eager to travel to Seychelles for a long time.

For et eventyr! Som "satt" trebårnsmor er det spennende å følge med på og jeg gleder meg til fortsettelsen :)

Beautiful boat, but that turtle steals the show! I wonder how old he is? Turtles have such a long lifespan.

Enjoy your time there, however I am eager for Africa!

Gjett om ikke jeg misunnelig her jeg sitter i tyve minusgrader, @susanne! Jeg får skikkelig lyst til å pakke kofferten og reise sørover selv nå.

I am making money to see that island, you are very fortunate

KMB!! Ser fantastisk ut! :)

It looks amaaazing! Cool to see a wild stingray :)

Beautiful pictures with stunning locations! :-)

I am planning a trip for my honeymoon to the Seychelles for a 9 day vacation. Can you suggest me some great places to hang out that are not too noisy and are away from the crowd. I am not a party person and would love my privacy with my wife.

Wow, another week, well I guess you're down to 5 days now. I need to find me an island, I could use the peace and calm. Gorgeous setting, I hope you're having very memorable time!

I love clear blue waters! I feel like I can't get away from my damn computer thought because of this crypto boom!

Soak up some sun for me!

Thanks Susanne for taking us along! I love the view of the sea... great pic by the way. :)
