Exploring Mahé: Mahé’s roads are narrow and can get busy with traffic particularly when there areroadworks and maintenance taking place which is most of the time. It can take up to 40 mins / 1hour todrive from one side of the island to the other. Mahé is extremely hilly so if you want to cross the islandyou need to go through the mountains/jungle which is an absolute highlight. Take your time! The islandis stunning, particularly in the South West.

Mahé is the largest island on the Seychelles and there is much to explore. Starting with the capital city of Victoria. Highlights to visit are the court buildings, museum, post office,Clock-tower [twin of the one outside London’s Victoria Station]. A turn around the corner takes one tothe ‘Codevar’ building where local crafts, including the renowned Kreol Or [Creole Gold] are on displayfor sale. A walk across Albert Street leads one to the focal point of the town, its colourful market wherestalls of fresh fish, tropical fruits & vegetables, herbs & spices.

Highly recommended is a drive across the Sans Soucis mountain pass which is the perfect place toenjoy a hike at Morne Seychelles National Park. Worth visiting on the southern tip of the island is therestored colonial plantation of ‘Jardin du Roi’, which is steeped in the short history of the Creoles as wellas the Georges family, whose family tree apparently carries a link to Louis XVII of France. A cold drink ofhome-grown fruit welcomes visitors, before they tour the surrounding plantation of vegetables, exoticfruits, herbs and spices.

In the North Beau Vallon Beach is one of the liveliest places to go for dinner or for cocktails on Mahéand is also a spectacular beach with great views towards Silhouette Island.
