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.
Next stop will be at the Praslin Museum, located in Cote d'Or, which showcases the culture of the Seychelles, featuring different indigenous plants of the island. Here, you will get the chance to smell the aroma of the famous Citronelle tea, as well as other local fruits, before being escorted to the Iles des Palmes Hotel for a delicious local lunch.
Afterwards, pay a visit to Anse Lazio, which is often cited as the world's most beautiful beach. Swimming and snorkelling in the crystal waters off this beach is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We will provide you with ample time to etch it into your memory before being taken home at day's end.
