Step by Step
Your driver-guide picks you up from your hotel or port at the time you specify. After a brief chat about your interests (nature, culture, gastronomy, photography...), a route map is proposed that you can adjust at any time.
- North option: drive along the winding coastal road with stops at Beau Vallon, the Glacis viewpoint and the picturesque Victoria market, where tropical fruit and spice stalls perfume the atmosphere.
- South option: head into the jungle on Capuchin Road, visit the historic ruins of Mission Lodge and finish with a snorkel at Anse Royale or a siesta under takamakas at Anse Intendance.
On either route you can stop at a coconut rum distillery, a vanilla and cinnamon spice garden, or a workshop of artisans carving coco-de-mer - the iconic symbol of the Seychelles. The guide recommends the best Creole takeaway for fish curry, banana ladob or papaya chutney.
Thanks to the private format, you can extend a stop on the beach if the tide is perfect, swap the snorkelling session for a visit to the Botanical Gardens or spend more time in the souvenir boutiques Made in Seychelles. At the end, return to your hotel or the cruise terminal with plenty of time to spare.
