For those with a penchant for the adrenaline rush, the Seychelles has many unanticipated surprises waiting to be unravelled. Apart from an unending string of beaches that offer a plethora of water sports, the island nation in the Indian Ocean has many exciting treks passing through some of the most incredible facets of nature. Next time when you board flights for a Seychelles holiday, add any of these trekking trails in your itinerary and relish an adventure of a lifetime!
The Morne Seychellois National Park
Brimming with an array of natural wonders, ranging from lush woodlands to virtually deserted dunes, the Morne Seychellois National Park is a true delight for trekkers. There are different day hiking and walking trails that promise various enthralling experiences – witness exotic flora & fauna on Glacic to Anse Etoile route, camp along the rocky coastline while trekking from Danzil to Anse Major or see the fantastic historic section of Victoria on Victoria/Beau Vallon route. The best thing is that some of the trails here are short enough for a weekend trip!
Vallee De Mai Nature Reserve
One of the richest tropical forests in the world, Vallee De Mai Nature Reserve is pretty impressive. People who spend on flights and holiday deals get to see the rare Coco de Mer palm trees and many endangered species of birds including the black parrot. The nature reserve is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and allures a fair share of travellers who book tickets for Seychelles holidays.
La Passe to Grand Anse
Either on foot or by bicycle, the trek allows you to enjoy stunning oceanic views, along with various French colonial era houses and woodlands. Winter is the best time for this excursion. The cool and dry weather allows you to fully enjoy the natural beauty of this wonderful pass. Avoid the rainy season, December and January, as the weather tends to be very humid and sticky. At any other time of the year, the spectacular beauty of Grand Anse beach makes it worth the effort and money spent on travel tickets and holiday package!
