TL;DR
It is best to book the Inter Island Ferry from Praslin to La Digue in advance, especially in high season or when connecting from an international flight. Tickets may also be available at the Baie Sainte Anne jetty ticket office, while refunds depend on the fare conditions and how close to departure you cancel.
Ferries from Praslin to La Digue can fill up in early November and other busy periods, so do not rely solely on buying a ticket on the day. If online payment is not possible, visit the Inter Island Ferry ticket office at Baie Sainte Anne jetty in advance, ideally the day before travel.
If you arrive on Praslin close to a ferry departure, it is safer to hold a confirmed ticket for a later sailing or allow extra connection time. Seats may still be available, but this depends on the date, sailing time, and arriving flights.
To request a refund for a Praslin–La Digue ticket bought at the counter, contact the seller before departure and check the conditions for that specific fare. Keep the paper ticket and receipt, as any refund and cancellation fee are set by Inter Island Ferry’s ticket rules.
