In order to see the island we rented bikes for two days, because the island is so small that they don't have any cars for rent. The locals told us that there are around 15 cars on the island and those are taxis and other facility cars. Funny thing, we experienced here the shortest taxi ride - I think it too like 3 minutes to get from the harbor to the hotel. Anyway, another transportation facility which you may use here are the ox-carts, but we thought bicycles are better. And faster.
The first day we went took a walk around the island up to the beach "Anse Source D'Argent" which is the most popular beach on La Digue (you can see in the first 10 photos below), and we also walked around those granite boulders, through the water, to find smaller hidden beaches and to climb in the end on a granite hill for a breathtaking view. Furthermore, the commercials for Bacardi and Bounty were filmed on this beach.
What I forgot to mention is that, before getting to that beach, we passed the "Union Plantation Reserve" where we could see some giant Tortoises, star fruit trees, an old manual mill, a creepy cemetery where the first owners of that domain are buried, and a vanilla plantation.
During the second day we went, by bike, to explore the south-eastern part of the island and the two most beautiful beaches I've ever seen - Grand Anse and Petit Anse. Even though the water currents are very strong on this part of the island, the nature and the beaches are amazing and the fact that there were very few tourists (on Petit Anse there were 6 persons counting us) made it even better. Swimming is forbidden on Grand Anse, but the waters of Petit Anse were truly ours. :)

We spent the third day cycling from the north-western side of the island up to north-east for more beautiful views and untouched nature, we had lunch on a terrace situated on the shore, and we spent the evening watching the amazing sunset at a very nice beach bar.
This was by far my favourite island, with the most amazing landscapes.
