Trip details

The South of Mahe offers travellers unspoiled beaches, countryside and an overall untamed island feel. Start your day in one of the smallest capitals in the world, Victoria, with a guided tour to the colourful Sir Selwyn-Clarke Market as well as a chance to see the famous 'Little Ben' clocktower. Then it's up to Mt Fluri and a visit to the Seychelles National Botanical Gardens, with its array of mature, exotic and endemic plants. This tropical garden is home to a wide variety of spice and fruit trees, as well as a population of giant tortoises!

After this, you will continue on a scenic drive into the mountains with stunning ocean views towards Mission Lodge - once the site of an ancient school for slave children that is now used as a home for endemic birds.

From here you will head down towards the West Coast, driving past tea plantations, picturesque villages and stunning photo opportunities, arriving eventually at Chez Plume for a sumptuous Creole Buffet lunch. After lunch, your tour continues along the west and south coastal roads, taking in the stunning scenery, until you eventually arrive at Anse Royale beach. Here you can spend the rest of the afternoon at leisure, swimming or just relaxing on the beach.
