Enjoy the very best of both worlds: that of the ocean and one of the Seychelles' two UNESCO World Heritage Sites, the mysterious, primeval Vallée de Mai.

Itinerary: by bus, full day with lunch

We will introduce you to the experience of a lifetime on a guided tour of this world-famous site, where the legendary coco de Mer, the double-lobed coconut in the shape of a woman's pelvis grows in twilight beneath a towering canopy of palms. Enjoy fantastic legends and tales about this site as our guide explains how it is believed by some to be the original biblical Garden of Eden.
The next stop on your route is the impressive Côte D'Or, where you can marvel at the expansive beach and enjoy a delicious lunch. Afterwards, pay a visit to Anse Lazio, which is often cited as the world's most beautiful beach. You can expect plenty of time to swim in the crystal clear waters and discover the impressive underwater world while snorkeling.
