 A fifteen-minute helicopter ride over turquoise waters will bring you to the second largest island - Praslin. The French explorer Lazare Picault was the first to claim this island in 1774, and called it "Ile de Palmes" after its fantastic forests of palm trees. Later on, Mation Dufresne renamed it as "Praslin" in honour of Gabriel de Choiseul, Duke of Praslin. There are only a few small villages strewn across the island, whose population of about five thousand earn their living as fishermen, farmers or by catering for visitors to the island. 
The main attraction of Praslin is the National Park or "Vallée de
Mai", which is home to a prehistoric rainforest of huge trees
that dominate the landscape. The "Coco-de-Mer" coconut is famous for
its large size, and infamous because of its striking similarity to the female
genitalia!Large, "Dali-esque" granite formations decorate almost every beach on the island. The 8000-year-old coral reefs, populated by fantastically-coloured reef fish, make the island a mecca for snorkellers and divers. The unique beauty of its reef world cannot be found on dry land, but is almost equalled by the beauty of the island's spectacular, solitary beaches.
