Detailed itinerary

1

Nice group island tour around Mahé
(Not private, mixed)

Please note that all spots that we describe below are only examples on our tour.

There is a lot to discover in 5-6 hours but you still have enough time during the tour to decide where to stop and wait or where to just show something, take pictures.

Unfortunately, due to time constraints, we cannot all visit places. 5-6 hours is a long time on the bus.

2

One of the smallest capitals in the world.
We will pass many sights here and only stop briefly.
(if you want to explore Victoria and all the sights on foot, we also offer a special city tour here)
https://islandtourseychelles.com/tour/city-tour-victoria/

We see the Hindu temple, the museum, the clock tower, the largest and oldest church in the Seychelles, the small marina of Victoria, various sculptures, landmarks of the Seychelles and e.g. the building of the exceptionally beautiful Supreme Court of Seychelles.

3

You simply have to try this local rum. We will also show you how it is made and take a nice tour.
The guided walking tour costs 150 rupees and the tasting according to the quantity.
But it is by no means a sales event, everyone is free to participate, no obligation to buy.

Please note Takamaka Rum Distillery is closed on weekends and public holidays.

We will show you Eden Island and if necessary we will stop for lunch or a visit to the toilet.

Lonely and beautiful beach in the southwest of Mahe. Giant tortoises, a small bay with a Creole restaurant and real Seychelles cuisine right on the beach await you for an (optional) delicious lunch.
