What to do and see in Victoria, Mahe Island: The Best Nature & Parks

December 12, 2021 Velvet Champine

A day on foot is ample time to see Victoria, one of the smallest capitals in the world. Located on Mahe, one of the Seychelles' 115 granite and coral islands, Victoria is the republic's business and cultural hub. At its center sits the Victoria Clocktower, a national monument reminiscent of London's "Big Ben" that has kept ticking since 1903, unaffected by the modern glass and concrete development around it. Visit the local art galleries and craft markets to soak up the city's friendly charm.

Copolia Trail

Reviewed By Gautamo2020 - Beau Vallon, Seychelles

One of the best view from top of the hill. Trail is well maintained, we have done Many nature trail in Seychelles and Copolia is recommended one for tourists. There is enough signages on the way, so that you will not miss the way. Avoid the trail on the rainy day mainly due to fog on the hill you will not able to see the view properly. Management charge 100 scr per tourist, Which I feel is good because they have maintained the trail very well. and for the residents it's free. We were group of 8 persons, when we reached the trail point it was raining very heavily. When rain Stop we have started out trail which is approximately 800 meter height. And we finished the trail approximately in 25 minutes. Trail is not difficult. One need to carry enough water ???? or soft drinks, as on the way is very humid. Once you reach on top, you feel the paradise. Very beautiful view. During clear weather you can see Praslin island, Ladigue island, Denis Island, Saint Anne Island and all the nearby Islands. Finally I would like to thank staff "BIGUTE FERMIE" for her help and guidence, She was very hospitable and Kind.

Morne Blanc

Reviewed By stepher8 - Dubai, United Arab Emirates

800m pretty much straight uphill (there are some spots where it levels out) will take you to this beautiful viewpoint. Most of the trail is shaded. There is a decent sized viewing deck at the top for your photo taking pleasure. What a view it is, greens and blues galore. I didn’t want to go back down.

Seychelles National Botanical Gardens

Reviewed By hubz72 - Cheshire, United Kingdom

We stopped in as we where passing and we only really went for the giant tortoises. It’s a beautiful spot it really is, immaculately kept and while we only really went to see the giant tortoises, we had a good look round, enjoyed some lunch and a coffee in the park and also saw plenty of the huge fruit bats which are home there also. But the highlight was definitely the giant tortoises which you can pay €5 for a handful of food to feed them and then you can walk amongst them, touch them and feed them, we loved it! Highly recommend!

Nice deep pool you can jump into from different heights. High waterfall you can go to and climb a bit. Very easy to get to.
