PRASLIN ISLAND - SEYCHELLES - ATTRACTIONS

Vallée de Mai
Located on the quintessentially tropical island of Praslin, this virgin forest was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site and for good reason. This park is the best place to ogle at the coco de mer palm, which produces the largest fruit in the world and vanilla orchids. Some of the Seychelles rarest birds are also found here such as the Seychelles Bulbul and the endemic Black Parrot. This valley was once thought to be the Garden of Eden by early explorers and it will sure make you wonder.

La Digue
This quaint little island, is renowned for its stunning beaches, made famous in a number of advertisements and swimsuit shoots. The array of deserted beaches, each seemingly more beautiful than the next, is stunning. Visitors are specially attracted to Anse Source d'Argent considered one of the most beautiful and unique beaches in the world or the exquisite shores of L'Union Estate.

Morre Seychellois National Park
On the largest island of Mahé lies the impressive mountain range that is home to this national park. The peak is the highest in the country, offering exquisite views of the sea beyond. Enjoy a day hike into the lush forest, with breaks along the way to appreciate the visually-vivacious vistas.

National Botanical Gardens
The fifteen acres of lush vegetation of these gardens are a relaxing getaway for those holed up in the capital city of Victoria. Among the most noteworthy of the plants here are the famous coco de mer palms. The orchid garden is worth seeing and the restaurant serves up tasty fare.

Ste Anne Marine National Park
There aren't many "parks" that are made up of six islands, but this is indeed the case here. With boat trips departing from Victoria Harbor, this park is one of the Seychelles most easily accessible and is a great place to see where the Hawksbill turtles nest. The calm clear waters and well-endowed coral reefs make for super snorkeling conditions.

Creole Festival
This annual festival held the last week of October in the capital Victoria is a celebration of Creole culture, with plenty of music, dancing and theater productions going on all week. There is plenty of food to sample, drinks to be enjoyed, local art to purchase and fun to be had.

George Camille Gallery
Museum honoring this fine local painter who so effectively captures the Creole culture and life in the Seychelles. His studio at Cote D'Or on Praslin Island is a popular spot for tourists looking for a cultural attraction.

Beau Vallon Bay
On the northern coast of Mahé lies the scintillating Beau Vallon Bay. With its natural beauty, its easy to see why this was developed as a beach resort area. The bay itself is fantastic for scuba diving, as there are two shipwrecks and several coral reefs.
