There is no airport on La Digue; visitors must fly to Victoria and transfer by ferry. Given the small area of 10.08 km², bicycles and walking are the primary modes of transport, allowing easy exploration of the entire island without needing a car.
Named after a ship in the fleet of French explorer Marc-Joseph Marion du Fresne who visited in 1768, the island offers a glimpse into its colonial past. As the fourth-largest granitic island, it retains a unique geological character distinct from larger neighbors like Mahé and Praslin.
