Overview
Discover Mahé on our Wild South #CreoleAdventure, and enjoy an authentic islander's day out and about! We start off with a brief tour of Victoria followed by a scenic drive into cool mountains of Sans Soucis heading for Mission Lodge for breath taking, panoramic views from the central mountainous region of Mahé which was an ancient school for slave children, it is now home to the songs of Seychelles’ exotic birds.

What to expect
Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Victoria Market, Market St, Victoria, Mahe Island Seychelles
Built in 1840 and later renovated in 1999, Sir Selwyn Selwyn Clarke Market more commonly known as Victoria Market is a great example of blending the old and new Seychellois way of life. It’s always been great place to buy local fruit, vegetables, spices and fish.
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Mission Lodge Lookout, Sans Soucis road, Victoria, Mahe Island Seychelles
The Mission Lodge is perhaps the most famous vantage point in all of Seychelles, offering spectacular sea and mountain views looking southward across Mahé, from the shaded and peaceful confines of a gazebo where Queen Elizabeth II once sat for tea.
Duration: 30 minutes
Pass By: Tea Factory, Sans Soucis Rd, Mahe Island Seychelles
Established in 1962, this unit is responsible for growing and manufacturing tea in the Seychelles. The Tea Factory enjoys a splendid panoramic view of the western slopes of Mahé and is undoubtedly one of the finest viewing points on the island.
Stop At: Cap Lazare Nature Reserve & Restaurant, Anse Gouvernment Baie Lazare Victoria Mahe Island, Seychelles
Cap Lazare Nature Reserve is a one of a kind property located in the beautiful south of Mahé Island. Filled with large open spaces on its 65 hectares area, it boasts a giant open air, toes-in-the-sand thatch roof restaurant where you can indulge in decadent local Creole cuisine. It is also the home of a hydroponic farm, providing fresh fruits and vegetables directly to the kitchen. Other attractions include a giant land tortoise colony, "Simone's Lookout" viewpoint, private access to a white sandy beach, its own helipad, nature trail and a host of exclusive experiences. The perfect location for weddings, private events, as well as intimate experiences, Cap Lazare Nature Reserve is as unique as the dreamy destination it is part of.
Duration: 3 hours 30 minutes

A nice tour that covers Victoria's places of interest, view point from the mountain, slaves heritage story and site, special trees experience, magnificent ocean shore (Incl. swimming) , a typical local food lunch and a giant turtles sanctuary. The guide-Daniel- was pleasant' and full of knowledge.

The description made it sound like it would be a full day but it was so chill, mostly because everything was relatively close by to each other. I loved the guide taking use around Victoria, giving us time to explore the market, showing us little Victoria, the Presidential palace and 2 churches. It was short and easy. Then we drove to Venn's town mission lodge and saw in person what we learned about the previous day in the museum. The guide was great at pointing out so many details, from the plants, to the animals, to the weather, to the history. The afternoon was spent chilling on a beach with amazing coral reefs to explore while snorkeling (though the currents were a bit strong). Also, it was a great opportunity to meet other people. It was exactly what we needed to wind down our trip.K1185MIfrancescos
