Anse Source d'Argent

La Digue Island, Inner Islands, Seychelles (southwest coast of La Digue / Anse Source d'Argent area)

Vallée de Mai Nature Reserve

Praslin Island, Inner Islands, Seychelles (central Praslin)

Declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Vallée de Mai is an ancient palm forest long celebrated as a rare remnant of prehistoric flora. It is best known for the Coco de Mer, the world's largest seed, and for hosting several endemic birds and plants.

Anse Lazio

Northwest coast, Praslin Island, Seychelles

Anse Lazio is one of Praslin’s most renowned beaches, admired for clear waters, white sand and granite outcrops. It’s a longtime favorite for swimming, snorkeling and relaxing under palms.

Sainte Anne Marine National Park

Offshore from Mahé, approx. 5 km from Victoria, Mahé Islands, Seychelles

Established to protect important coral reefs and island habitats, Sainte Anne Marine Park comprises several small islands and vibrant coral gardens. The park combines marine conservation with historical sites and visitor activities like snorkeling and island hopping.

Morne Seychellois National Park (Morne Blanc / Morne Seychellois)

Central‑western Mahé, Mahé Island, Seychelles (park covers much of Mahé's interior)

Morne Seychellois National Park protects the highest peaks and remaining native forest on Mahé. Trails such as Morne Blanc and Copolia lead through lush vegetation to panoramic lookouts and are key to conserving endemic flora and fauna.

Relax and photograph Anse Source d'Argent (La Digue)

World‑famous beach framed by enormous granite boulders, shallow clear water and powdery white sand — exceptionally photogenic and calm.

Iconic scenery unique to La Digue; gentle swimming and excellent shore snorkeling; perfect for sunrise/soft‑light photography and relaxed beach days.

Explore Vallée de Mai Nature Reserve (Praslin)

A UNESCO‑listed palm forest home to the endemic Coco de Mer and many rare plant and bird species; well‑marked trails through ancient palms.

One of the few places to see natural Coco de Mer in situ; superb for short hikes, birdwatching and experiencing a prehistoric rainforest atmosphere.

Snorkel or island‑hop in Sainte Anne / Sainte Anne Marine Park

A marine park near Mahé comprising several small islands, with coral gardens, fish life, turtles and clear lagoons ideal for snorkeling and glass‑bottom boat tours.

Close to the capital (short boat ride from Mahé), great first‑time snorkeling with abundant marine biodiversity and easy half‑day island‑hopping options.

Hike in Morne Seychellois National Park (Morne Blanc / Copolia / Morne Seychellois trails)

Mountain trails on Mahé that climb through misty native forest to panoramic viewpoints over the west coast and surrounding islands.

Best way to see Seychelles’ interior landscapes and get sweeping views; excellent for active travellers who want nature, photography and cooler highland microclimates.
