If you have a rainy, cloudy day on Mahe in Seychelles (yes, they do happen :)), grab a car and take a ride to Le Jardin Du Roi Spice Garden. The place is rather easy to find. It's on a steep hill,so do prepare for a steep ride up. The entry fee's have increased a lot in recent years, above... More

Good overview of Seychelles endemic fauna. 2 nice walkways and a view of the Coco de Mer. A pleasant visit with superb views from the on site cafe.

We took a rented car and drived from the north to the south of the Island. When you come to Anse Royale look at the sign at the main road informing you to turn (in my case) right to the inland. The sign informs about 2 km (it is far more). After few hundred meters another sign informs you to... More

We stopped here on our last day during our vacation in May. This small French plantation has a great little museum and a fascinating collection of tropical plants and animals. My kids loved the giant tortises. There was one that turned out to be quite a character. Also the spice flavored ice cream was outstanding. The customer service was first... More

Sadly it was raining the day we went to this place. but the surroundings and views were still marvelous! It is a little difficult to find, but the friendly locals guided us up the steep single track road. The premises were very quaint, and the food smelt delicious but having already eaten we chose to just sit on the balcony... More

Went for the Plantation Lunch on a Sunday. Unfortunately they got the dates wrong for our booking so we had to have a 'spare table'. Still advise to book especially if going for the Sunday lunch, but make sure the person taking the booking understands for which day and date. We thought "Tomorrow, for Sunday lunch", was quite clear but... More

We went there expecting a well presented garden: this is not the case. Trees that should be marked with a number are not anymore and the information provided is really poor. better to spent 2 hours by the Tea Factory instead of this Garden

For the visitors and residents, visit to Spice Garden in the South (East) of Mahe is highly recommended. A trip from afternoon till evening feels good as one could experience lot of birds and chirps and see all parts of the garden, also blue sky and a distant coast. For easy-going walk around, 2.5 to 3 hours are recommended. Residents... More
