Frequently Asked Questions
Is Pitchoun actually based on Praslin rather than Mahé, and how do I get there from the main island?
Yes — despite appearing under a Mahé district in the register, Pitchoun operates out of Anse Volbert in the Baie Sainte Anne district of Praslin, the second-largest island in Seychelles. To reach it, visitors first need to travel from Mahé to Praslin by inter-island ferry or domestic flight, then make their way to Anse Volbert on Praslin's north-east coast.
What kinds of trips can I book with Pitchoun?
Pitchoun offers point-to-point transfers, island hopping itineraries, snorkeling outings in the coastal waters around the Baie Sainte Anne area, and fishing trips along nearshore grounds. Charters can typically be arranged as half-day or full-day outings, subject to weather and sea conditions.
Does Pitchoun require an appointment, or can I just show up at Anse Volbert and arrange a trip on the day?
Given that charter availability depends on weather, sea state, and existing bookings, it is strongly advisable to contact the operator in advance rather than arriving without notice. Visitors can reach Pitchoun by phone at +248 2482886 to check availability and confirm arrangements.
Can Pitchoun arrange access to snorkeling sites that are difficult to reach from the shore on Praslin?
Yes — the listing specifically notes that Pitchoun provides access to nearby islands and snorkeling sites that are often easier to reach by sea than by road, making it a practical option for exploring the waters surrounding Praslin beyond what is walkable from the beach.
Is the service suitable for groups, or is it geared more toward individual travellers?
The description indicates that charter arrangements are tailored to visitors and groups, so both individuals and larger parties appear to be accommodated. For group bookings or custom itineraries, contacting Pitchoun directly at +248 2482886 to discuss capacity and pricing is recommended.
