Trip details
Explore the most iconic landmarks of Seychelles by booking a guided tour from Mahe to visit Praslin and La Digue. Your guide will show you the most intriguing places on the islands, including the mysterious Vallee de Mai - home to the legendary Coco de Mer. This UNESCO Nature Reserve - often compared to the Garden of Eden - is a must-see, and this tour will take you through the mystical jungle and pathways filled with history and myths. You’ll be able to admire the endemic bird species and get a real feel of the local culture when you visit the National Museum of Praslin.
You will also visit L’Union Estate (La Digue), a national heritage site, where you can expect to see a traditional copra mill, meet the giant tortoises and visit the old plantation house. Moreover, you will visit the most popular beach in Seychelles - Anse Source D’Argent, one of the most photographed beaches in the world! Here you will have time to relax at the beach and have a refreshing dip in the turquoise sea.
Please note: We do not recommend this tour for anyone who can not walk long distances. Feel free to contact us if anything remains unclear, and we’d be more than happy to help you out.
