Discover the secrets of the Seychelles on a 5-hour tour of the main island of Mahé. Visit the Sir Selwyn Selwyn Clarke Market, the Domaine de Val de Pres, the Takamaka Rum Distillery, the Le Jardin du Roi-Spice Garden, and Anse Royale Beach.
Start your tour with a pickup from your hotel. Head to the Sir Selwyn Selwyn Clarke Market in Victoria, where you can experience how the people of Seychelles as well as visitors purchase their spices, fruits, vegetables, and fish.
While in one of the smallest capitals in the world, discover the different historical sites such as the museum, several monuments, and roads which bear the names of prominent figures in the history of Seychelles.
Next, visit the Domaine de Val de Pres. Explore the colonial structures referred to as the plantation house, visit the Koko Gallery, and get the chance to experience the traditional way of de-husking a coconut.
Continue to the Takamaka Rum Distillery. At this majestic old plantation house, get the chance to taste the locally made Takamaka Rum and have a guided tour of the place to learn about the history of the place. You may also try out some rum tasting and enjoy some light snacks.
Next, visit the Le Jardin du Roi-Spice Garden. This garden holds some of the spices which are both endemic and also introduced to the Seychelles back in the 17th century by Pierre Poivre. Enjoy some ice-cream made from ingredients in the garden itself, such as nutmeg, lemongrass, cinnamon, and much more.
Finally, unwind and relax at Anse Royale Beach, described by travellers as one of the most beautiful beaches on Mahé. After your visit, return to your hotel.
