When it comes to attractions, Seychelles doesn't disappoint. Of course, there are must-see beaches like Anse Lazio and Anse Source d'Argent, where you can spend lazy days soaking up the sun and swimming in the warm waters of the Indian Ocean. But don't miss the chance to explore the islands' interior – you never know what treasures you might stumble on!  

Explore Pristine Nature Reserves:

Seychelles boasts several nature reserves and national parks, such as the Vallée de Mai on Praslin Island and the Morne Seychellois National Park on Mahé. These protected areas offer opportunities for hiking, birdwatching, and encountering endemic wildlife amidst lush tropical landscapes. 

Discover Unique Flora and Fauna:

Seychelles is home to numerous endemic species found nowhere else on Earth. Visitors will see the iconic coco de mer palm, spot rare birds like the Seychelles black parrot and Seychelles warbler and encounter giant Aldabra tortoises in their natural habitat. 

Enjoy Underwater Worlds:

Beyond its beaches, Seychelles boasts vibrant marine ecosystems teeming with life. Snorkelling and diving enthusiasts can explore coral reefs, granite formations, and underwater drop-offs, while seeing colourful fish, turtles, rays, and even whale sharks. 

Immerse Yourself into the Culture:

Seychelles' diverse cultural heritage is reflected in its food, music, and traditions. Explore local markets, sample Creole dishes infused with spices and flavours from Africa, Asia, and Europe, and attend cultural events such as the annual Creole Festival. 

Fun Activities Off-the-Beaten-Path
