Sainte Anne Marine National Park is made up of six islands off the northeast coast of Mahé Island. While snorkeling you can discover the hidden treasures of the marine park and explore the history of local ancestors.

Good rum is synonymous with island life. Located on the main island of Mahé, the distillery offers guided tours of the distillery and its beautiful grounds. There’s a tasting session included, of course. If all that rum has given you an appetite, enjoy an exquisite Seychelles cuisine at La Plaine St André afterwards.

Zip-lining or rock climbing

The best way to explore Seychelles is to take a slow ride on a bike. Be sure to ride into the L’Union Estate, a former coconut and vanilla plantation, to see a traditional copra mill and kiln and get up close and personal with the island’s giant tortoises. And don’t miss a visit to Anse Source d’Argent, one of the most photographed beaches in the world.
