- Book the return with the outbound - open returns and round-trip fares are cheaper on many operators
- Ask about children's, student and resident fares, and about vehicle offers outside high season

How to book ferry tickets from Praslin to La Digue with Haqqi Tours
The easiest way to book a ferry from Praslin to La Digue is to let a person do it. The form asks for the essentials; the details - a car and its length, a cabin, a pushchair, a pet, a connection on arrival - you tell us through WhatsApp when we message you to confirm. We provide the ticket, explain check-in at Baie Sainte Anne jetty, Praslin and stay reachable during the crossing.
- Step 1 - complete the form: date, one-way or return, adults and children
- Step 2 - we message you in the WhatsApp chat with the sailings, vessels, seats or cabins and the cost
- Step 3 - you confirm the sailing you prefer and we arrange payment in the same chat
- Step 4 - we issue the e-ticket and send it; we stay in touch until you land in La Digue
Because a person books it, we can line the Praslin to La Digue ferry up with a flight or a train the same day, choose the sailing that leaves a safe margin, and warn you if the weather forecast makes the fast boat a risk.
Timetable and season of the Praslin to La Digue ferry
Every 30-60 minutes - that is how frequently the ferry from Praslin to La Digue runs, with more departures in summer and fewer, sometimes weather-dependent, in winter. Allow about 15 minutes at sea plus check-in at the port. Timetables change between seasons, so we send the exact departures for the date you travel rather than a list that may be out of date.
If a sailing is cancelled by the shipping line for weather, you are rebooked on the next available or refunded; our WhatsApp desk handles that for you on the day.
Departure: Baie Sainte Anne jetty, Praslin
Baie Sainte Anne jetty, Praslin is where the Praslin to La Digue ferry begins. We tell you whether tickets are scanned at a gate or on board, whether an ID or passport is required, and how early to arrive for your sailing and vessel. On busy summer days the port is crowded, so the margin matters.
- Haqqi Tours can provide a private transfer from your hotel in Praslin to the port on request
- Ask us which gate or terminal your sailing uses - big ports have several
- Foot passengers: at the port 45-60 minutes before departure
- Keep the electronic ticket and the ID or passport used for booking together

Haqqi Tours provides a private transfer from the port to your accommodation in La Digue with a driver waiting at the exit, which for a family with bags is the easiest way to finish the Praslin to La Digue crossing.
Onward journeys from La Digue - another ferry, a flight or a train the same day - can be added to the booking; let us know and we time the crossing to fit.

Best time to take the ferry from Praslin to La Digue

Ferry or flight from Praslin to La Digue?
Ferry versus plane between Praslin and La Digue comes down to time, luggage and the view: the ferry has the deck, the luggage and the town-centre arrival; the plane has speed. On this route the ferry is the option Haqqi Tours recommends first for families and anyone with a car.
Return ferry from La Digue to Praslin
We book the return crossing from La Digue to Praslin just as easily, usually on the same confirmation. Round-trip fares and open returns are cheaper on many operators, so booking both directions together saves money. Let us know the day you want to come back on the form and we send both directions with the cost.
How much does the ferry from Praslin to La Digue cost?
The cost of the ferry from Praslin to La Digue depends on the shipping line, the type of vessel, the date, whether you travel as a foot passenger or with a car, and the seat or cabin you choose. A conventional ferry is cheaper than a high-speed one; a summer Saturday costs more than a weekday in May; a car adds a vehicle fare; a cabin on an overnight sailing adds more. That is why Haqqi Tours does not print a price: we look up the live fares for your exact date and send the real cost by WhatsApp, with the options side by side.
What we include in the price we send: the ticket for each passenger, any reserved seat or cabin you asked for, port taxes, and our service - checking the timetable, booking, sending the e-ticket and answering questions before and during the crossing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers to what travellers ask us most, before they book.
Where does the ferry arrive in La Digue?
At La Passe jetty, La Digue. Taxis and buses meet the boats, and Haqqi Tours can have a driver waiting at the pier.
What is the cheapest ferry ticket from Praslin to La Digue?
Normally a foot-passenger seat on the conventional ferry, booked early, on a weekday outside the peak weeks. Tell us if your dates are flexible and we find the cheapest Praslin to La Digue ferry across the days you can travel.
Can I bring a pet?
Pets are accepted on many ships in carriers or kennels, sometimes for a small fee. Let us know and we finalise what applies to your sailing.
How early should I be at Baie Sainte Anne jetty, Praslin?
Foot passengers 45 to 60 minutes before sailing, earlier on international routes. Some fast boats board ten minutes before departure and do not wait, so we send the exact cut-off with the ticket.
Is the crossing rough?
Generally calm. In windy weeks the fast catamarans pitch more than the large ferries, and morning sailings tend to be the smoothest. Let us know if you suffer from seasickness and we choose the steadier vessel.
Can I book a return ferry ticket?
Of course. Tick "return" on the form with both dates; round-trip and open-return fares are cheaper with many companies and we book whichever suits you best.
How often does the ferry from Praslin to La Digue run?
Every 30-60 minutes; the timetable thickens in summer and thins in winter. We send the sailings for your dates with the cost of each.
Which port does the ferry leave from?
Sailings depart from Baie Sainte Anne jetty, Praslin. We send the gate or pier and the check-in time with the ticket, and can book a driver from your accommodation to the port.
How much does the ferry from Praslin to La Digue cost?
It depends on the ferry company, the vessel (fast or conventional), the date, the seat or cabin. Haqqi Tours checks the live fares for your dates and sends the exact cost by WhatsApp quickly of receiving the form.
Is it better to take the ferry or fly from Praslin to La Digue?
For most passengers the ferry: it lands in the town, carries all your luggage and is usually cheaper door to door. We provide flights too and say honestly which is better for your dates.
Do I need a passport for this ferry?
An ID is enough on most domestic sailings; carry a passport on any international crossing. We finalise what applies when we send the ticket.
What if the weather cancels the sailing?
The shipping line rebooks you on the next sailing or refunds the ticket, and our WhatsApp desk handles it for you on the day. When the forecast is poor we suggest the conventional ferry, which sails in weather that cancels the fast boats.
Is there a luggage limit on the ferry?
Luggage is not weighed on most ferries and is carried free within the ferry company's limits; the fast passenger boats sometimes limit the number of bags. We tell you what applies to your sailing.
