Description
Going through some Seychelles packages for your upcoming holiday? Before you zero in on one it is imperative to know a bit more about this archipelago of 115 islands on the Indian Ocean just off East Africa than just its sunny beaches and warm turquoise waters home to a dazzling marine life. While it is true that Seychelles is a fabled beach paradise with strips of white satin sands separating the azure waters from the sprawling tropical wilderness rolling down its hillside, there are fewer places that understand beach-side luxury the way Seychelles does. The resorts are plush and incorporate the natural environment in the most incredible way, the food is exotic and laced with sumptuous offerings from the sea, and everywhere you turn you are greeted with the most stunning palm-fringed coastal scenery that you will ever come across in a lifetime.
As you consider one of the Seychelles tour packages, make sure it incorporates a visit to Morne Seychellois National Park for its mountain rainforest and beaches such as that of Anse Takamaka and Beau Vallon. But in all you do, the starting point of your journey will be Mahe which is also home to its tiny, picturesque capital, Victoria. With your Seychelles trip underway, we list down a few experiences that are worth taking.
The list of places to visit in Seychelles is never-ending. However, if you were to shortlist a few, Praslin with its alluring beaches of golden sand and smooth granite boulders is easily an idyllic sun-and-surf getaway and the high-point of your trip to the island nation. Anse Lazio on the island’s northwestern tip offers the most picturesque ribbon beach fringed with palm groves, receiving emerald swells through the day. Its beachfront restaurant is ideal to unwind at and tuck into succulent seafood. Else you have the rest of the day at leisure to walk the powdery sands, swim in the warm waters of the Indian Ocean and keep a radar for approaching shoals of reef fish. Another significant highlight of the Praslin island is the Vallee de Mai National Park, a World Heritage Site known for being home to the extremely rare coco de mer palm. Birdwatchers flock in to spot the native Seychelles bulbul, the endangered black parrot, and other exotic birds like the Seychelles warbler and blue pigeon. Another highlight of Praslin is the long, arch-shaped beach of Anse Volbert. Perfect for sunbathing and snorkelling, there are several good seafood restaurants on its shores along with a number of facilities and hotels with views. And if you wish to work up an appetite before heading to one of its restaurants, go for a swim in its aquamarine waters.
