Experience the enchanting beauty of Seychelles by embarking on a tour of the Vallee-de-Mai Nature Reserve, a stunning UNESCO World Heritage Site located on the Seychelles island of Praslin. This natural wonder is often referred to as the “Garden of Eden” due to the lush vegetation and incredible biodiversity found within it. The reserve is home to a vast array of unique and rare plant and animal species, including the famous Coco-de-Mer palm, which produces the largest seed in the plant kingdom.

As you explore the reserve, you will be transported to a prehistoric world with towering palms and ancient forest canopies. The peaceful atmosphere is only interrupted by the sounds of the local wildlife, including the rare Black Parrot which is only found in the Seychelles. Walking along the reserve’s well-maintained trails, you’ll have the opportunity to experience this unique ecosystem up close. The rich vegetation, such as ferns and orchids, thrive beneath the towering palms, and the streams and waterfalls add a serene ambiance to the area. This is truly a nature lover’s paradise. In addition to the stunning flora and fauna, the reserve is also home to several historical sites. Visitors can explore the ruins of an old mill, which was once used to extract the oil from the palm kernels. This mill offers an intriguing glimpse into the early days of the island’s history and the industry that helped shape it.

Following the exploration of Vallee-de-Mai, indulge in relaxation at one of the world’s most picturesque beaches, Anse Lazio. The white sandy beach is a true haven, embraced by crystal clear waters and framed by stunning granite boulders. It’s a sight to behold and a destination not to be missed.

The afternoon is at your leisure, where you can bask in the sun, take a refreshing swim or enjoy the array of water activities available at Anse Lazio. As the day comes to a close, return to your hotel in the evening, carrying with you unforgettable memories of the breathtaking nature and magnificent beaches of Seychelles.
