The 10 Best Day Trips from in Mahe Island, Seychelles

April 18, 2022 Weston Hennigan

The Seychelles largest and main island, Mahe is home to the capital of Victoria and about 70,000 people (almost 90% of the nation's total). Still, the island retains its idyllic beauty, with 3,000-foot mountains and scores of gorgeous beaches. Many plants, including the so-called Jellyfish Tree and several rare orchids, are unique to Mahe's shores. The Seychelles Natural History Museum, the Botanical Gardens and the Codevar Craft Centre, all in Victoria, are not to be missed.

An island tour around Mahé is a real MUST. Only then you can see how beautiful Mahé is and that the (main) island of the Seychelles does not have to hide from any other island (Praslin or La Digue). The mentioned sights / arrival points are only a few options. In reality you will see a lot more on this island tour than we can describe. We know the Seychelles as Seychellois, we are very flexible with your wishes, we are happy to deal with everything you want to see and discover. We speak German, English and French.

It has to be one....., no it has to be THE favourite spot of mine on the island. The trip to rock pool is amazing and a must do for all visitors coming to Seychelles. The south of Mahé is full of surprises and Islandtour Seychelles makes it an incredible experience. The trail is accessible only by foot but it is definitely worth the while if you love nature! I highly recommend it as well as booking via Islandtour Seychelles! Thank me later! You will not regret it!

We will visit all possible beaches relaxed during the day and you decide whether it is a short visit, just take a few photos, or want to enjoy the beach here and there for an hour.

As a group of four, we booked a morning excursion via easy communication the day before. The Creole team showed up exactly on time, and they were easy to find. Michael and his team were courteous, friendly, professional, and happy to work with our requests. We thoroughly enjoyed our morning, and I wouldn't hesitate to book with Creole Odyssea again.

Our group of four booked a half day boat trip around Saint Anne Marie Island in the morning. The whole trip is memorable from the experience to the booking process. Stephanie and her husband Michael made everything very easy. You can reach out via WhatsApp or by email to book whichever of the near dozen excursions. Our half day boat trip started at the Boardwalk on Eden Island. We visited four different sites including a marine national park, a deeper snorkelling site, a long beach and a tour around some of the smaller islands in the immediate area. The team will go snorkelling with you during the drift snorkelling areas. Just little touches like bringing bread to feed bat fish in the Marine National Park really made the experience and the trip. The Creole Odyssea team provide snorkels, drinks (soft drinks and local juices) and jokes a long the way. I brought my drone; the team showed me some of the best places to take photos and videos in the area. The guys on the boat are also a good laugh which, for me, is important and overlooked when you are going to be out to sea with people for four hours and nowhere to escape. I highly recommend Creole Odyssea during any trip to Seychelles, especially if you are staying on Eden Island or in the surrounding area. I would certainly come back to have a full day experience with

The tour of the island with Ryan was excellent. I really recommend it. Ryan explains very well all the particularities of Mahé. He took us almost to all the beaches and spots in Mahé. Ryan proposes to adapt the program according to your preferences. Ryan is very kind and passionated about his work. The van is really comfortable too. The tour of the island with Ryan is a must if you want to discover Mahé.

We were three couples visiting Mahe Island for the day while our cruise ship was there. Our tour guide was Jude and he picked us up and dropped us off at the port. What I really like about him is that he has perfect English, was very informative and was very flexible. He also has a great sense of humor. He also gave us a clear picture of life in the Seychelles and was willing to deviate from his standard tour in any way we wished. He found us a great seafood restaurant on the water for lunch. He also understood the need for timelines as we needed to get back to the ship on time!
