About this experience
We have certainly walked this tour to Anse Major over 1000 times in the last 10 years and we are still fascinated by this beautiful hike to this day. In terms of outdoor activities on Mahé, this hike, which can also be described as a walk, is a highlight in the Seychelles.
The guided tour to Anse Major is easy to do and can also be done in bad weather. You have a great view of various bays & the northwest of Mahé.
The green nature in the jungle to be crossed is safe.
Children aged 5 and over will also be thrilled, as there is so much to see and discover. We may even see a real flying fox up close and feed it.
Anse Major is not accessible by car, you have to make a little effort, but you will be exceptionally rewarded.
The way back can be done by Taxi boat at an optional cost.
Incidentally, our company is licensed and insured, certified by the tourism authority and licensed by the government.

Detailed itinerary
1
After being picked up from your hotel or the ferry, you will be taken by car to the starting point or the entrance to the Anse Major Trail.
From there we will hike for about 1-1.5 hours.
It is a narrow, safe hiking trail that goes up and down a bit.
You don't need to be particularly fit, just good shoes, sports shoes or hiking boots. Please do not wear sandals or flip flops.
We will stop at several points on the tour so that you have enough time to take great pictures. There are several hot spots for this.
Once you arrive, you have the opportunity to explore the small bay, swim and snorkel.
There is also a freshwater pool with water from the granite mountains of the nature reserve, which is certainly several million years old, very clean and cooling.
We plan to stay for about 1-2 hours before we either hike back or take a cab boat back, if available and at a small extra charge.
After the hike, we will be happy to take you back to the pick-up point or another location on Mahe.
