With a wealth of activities and experiences amid stunning natural landscapes, visitors can explore two UNESCO World Heritage Sites—the Vallée de Mai and Aldabra—while encountering an incredible variety of wildlife that thrives in these pristine environments.

Between them, the Seychelles islands are home to an incredible number of species, from birds and turtles to fish and flowering trees such as hibiscus and frangipani. One of the best places to see a lot of its wildlife is Morne Seychellois National Park, where lush rainforest houses the rare jellyfish tree, mangroves, orchids, and more. A great way to explore is by using its walking and hiking trails, and there are lots of lookouts along the way as well as fascinating sights to see, such as the Tea Factory and Mission Lodge.

Seychelles is also famous for its free-roaming giant land tortoises, which have been on these islands since before human habitation. You can see them in their native setting of the Aldabra atoll or elsewhere across the archipelago, both in the wild and in conservation settings, living alone or in groups. On Mahé, for instance, you can see them at the Victoria Botanical Gardens, while on Curieuse you can see them roaming around the beach.
