Coco de mer in the Vallee de Mai Today I went on a Mason’s Travel Excursion to Vallee de Mai, a nature park and UNESCO World Heritage Site located on the island Praslin. The park is a large palm forest with around 5.000 of the rare coco de mer. These palms have the largest seeds weiterlesen…
Today I had an excursion to the beautiful beach Anse Lazio in the north of Praslin, but before relaxing on this beach, I went for a walk up to the Chenard (190m) and then to Anse Kerlan. On the way I met a quite noisy bird called burbur and for the first time I saw a weiterlesen…
The third Island to discover on my Seychelles trip was Prasil. I stayed at the Coco de Mer Hotel (& Black Parrot Suites), which is located in the Anse Bois de Rose. Situated on the beach amidst lush tropical gardens, this chalet-style hotel is just great to relax after a stressful year 🙂
After enjoying the great beaches, today I made a walking tour to La Digue’s tallest peak (which is more than 300 meters above sea level) in the central part of the island on the Nid d’Aigles (Eagle’s Nest Mtn). On my way through the forest I met another wild giant tortoise. And in the afternoon I was snorkeling weiterlesen…

The next island to discover on the Seychelles was La Digue. With a fast catamaran ferry called ‚coco de mer‘ I first made a one hour journey from Mahé Jetty to Praslin Jetty. And then I go with a smaller ferry to the La Digue Jetty, not far away from the hotel La Digue Island Lodge. weiterlesen…
Today I made a round trip in the capital city Victoria.

Close-by there is also a Hindu Temple, but unfortunately it was more a building site. On the way to weiterlesen…
