WHY VISIT SEYCHELLES
The reputation of Seychelles is very well deserved: The beauty of this archipelago in the Indian Ocean is matchless and the most beautiful postal cards are exceeded by its reality.
Victoria, the capital city, one of the few towns of the archipelago is situated on Mahé Island. You will be able to visit its botanical garden and museums before going by car towards the South to discover Tamataka cove and magnificent beaches such as Beau Vallon or, the more private and less accessible, Soleil cove.
Aldabra Atoll is the biggest island of Seychelles, formed in fact by four islands encircling a lagoon. It is protected due to the fact it is home to thousands of giant tortoises and birds, visits to this site are regulated.
Discover also the Sainte-Anne national marine park, where you will be able to enjoy diving in ideal conditions and look around ‘l’île Moyenne’ whilst admiring its splendid flora, enjoy a delicious Creole meal at Round Island.
Finally, the big Silhouette Island is different from the others with its high rocky granite relief and its beaches surrounded by protective reefs where you will feel as if you are at the end of the world. Take the opportunity to hike to the summit of ‘Pot à Eau’ and discover its carnivorous plants.
