The Seychelles is an incredible green country with white-sand beaches, volcanic rock formations, centuries-old national parks and picturesque sunsets every day. At night, you can lie on a catamaran and look up at the starry sky reflecting in the water and meet pink sunrises right in the ocean.
There are islands in the Seychelles with hiking trails where you can take bikes and ride with family or friends.
One of the most amazing parks, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is the Vallée de Mae Park on Praslin Island. The park's main attraction is the famous coco de mer palms. Some reach up to thirty metres in height. Spreading their huge leaves in the sky, they proudly tower over the island. The fruit of the trees sometimes weighs as much as forty kilograms!
The historical memories of British General Charles George Gordon who visited the Seychelles describe the Vallée de Mae as the Garden of Eden and the tree of knowledge. The park can be traversed in 2-3 hours, either on your own or with a tour or guide.
A trip to La Digue Island is worth taking 2 days out of your travel itinerary. Here you can ride bicycles, stay in a hotel, relax in a tropical bar, walk around the island, and do some snorkeling. It is worth mentioning that drinking coconuts is also available on the wild islands, which can be reached by catamaran. Another island worth seeing is Curieuse. It is a beautiful island with a park and giant turtles that you can pet and feed.
The Seychelles is also famous for its exciting tuna and sailfish fishing, which you can then grill yourself.
