On the island of Praslin in the Seychelles, the Vallee de Mai Nature Reserve still has a natural palm forest preserved in its original state. The famous coco de mer, from a palm-tree once believed to grow under the sea, is the largest seed in the plant kingdom. In the 19th century the British General Gordon declared that the Vallée de Mai was the Garden of Eden and that coca de mer was the tree of knowledge. The suggestive two-lobed form gave rise to many legends – including a belief that the nuts possessed aphrodisiac powers.
Shaken, not stirred: Khao Tapu (a.k.a James Bond Island) is a solitary pillar in the sea off Phuket, Thailand. It is the most remarkable attraction of Phang-nga, and has become a popular tourist attraction since it was featured in the 1974 James Bond movie, ‘The Man with the Golden Gun.’
Raiatea, meaning "faraway heaven" and "sky with soft light", was first named Havai'i after the homeland of the ancient Polynesians and is the most sacred island in the South Pacific. This was the center of religion and culture over 1000 years ago and still lends enchantment to ancient legends told to this day. The green-carpeted mountains include the celebrated Mt. Temehani, a sort of Polynesian Mt. Olympus.
"First rate service.Great information package. Could not fault the process. Flotilla staff were friendly without being intrusive.The briefings were clear and concise & I was particularly impressed by the training/advice sessions held by the skipper. The holiday was perfect, I can't think of any way to improve it."
