Seychelles: Mahe and Private Island Relaxation
Sample Itinerary
Day 1 – 3
International Arrival
Transfer to your Accommodation (15 min)
2 Nights
Mahe Island
Visit the largest island in Seychelles! Mahe, in the northeast of the nation, houses most of the Seychelles population and charms you with its grandiose landscapes and lush vegetation. Mahe’s forests have rare endemic plants found only in the Seychelles, such as the Jellyfish tree, the carnivorous Seychelles Pitcher Plant, and many unique species of orchids. Pristine and unspoilt, southern Mahe has deserted beaches as well as underwater gardens. Visit the Craft Village, the Creole Institute, go for a walk, or embrace Mahe’s lively Creole culture if you ever get bored of beaches with sand as white and fine as talcum powder!

Praslin Island
Welcome to a UNESCO World Heritage Site full of ancient palm forests. Quieter than its popular cousin Mahe, Praslin Island is an exotic paradise! Dense vegetation and lush coconut groves greet you everywhere, and six endemic palm species, including the erotic-looking coco de mer, the bearer of the largest nut in the world, are found in Praslin’s forests. A great destination for honeymooners, the island is famous for its soft, sandy beaches. You can snorkel among living corals that are home to 900 species of fish, or go swimming at Anse Lazio which has consistently been voted as one of the world’s best beaches!

Silhouette Island
Welcome to the land of Jurassic mountain cliffs enshrouded in mist, smooth granite boulders festooned with fresh young leaves, and stretches of powdery sands vanishing into a lagoon as clear as liquid crystal. Silhouette Island, a marine national park, is regarded by conservationists as one of the most important biodiversity sanctuaries of the Indian Ocean. The Island was once home of the notorious pirate Jean Hodoul, who captured seven English vessels with their cargo of goods and treasures. Legend has it that the treasure still lies undiscovered somewhere in Silhouette Island, a captivating thought indeed for the adventurous soul!

What Our Guests Say
I used Enchanting Travels for our Kenya safari experience as well as our trip to Seychelles afterward. Their service is top notch. From my first encounter with their US representative, Peter de Sousa, to our skilled trip coordinator in Nairobi, Cyprian Otieno, we were well taken care of. They thought of everything so we didn’t have to. No detail was left unattended and our guides and drivers were the glue that kept everything together and running smoothly. All we did was show up at the time we were supposed to and everything was handled, from entrance to venues, checking in for flights to the bush, national park fees, etc. it felt like we were royalty at times the way we got fast tracked thru many things. I plan on using them again because everyone should feel like they are special when going on vacation and Enchanting Travels does just that!

From beginning to end, the Enchanting Travels team used my input, provided input through suggestions and advice, coordinated, and kept in contact with us throughout the journey. They were there in the background every step of the way which afforded us the private exclusive experience in safety and in knowing if we wanted help at any point they were there. Can’t say enough about this wonderful experience. We wouldn’t travel without them again. Thank you!

Enchanting Travels was wonderful every step of the way…from making suggestions on what types of activities to do, to booking all accommodations and activities, to getting us to and from all locations during our ~3 week stay…they did it all and they did it extremely well! It was the most stress-free, enjoyable trip.

My wife and i toured South Africa and the Seychelle Islands with Enchanting Travels for 3+ weeks. We have shared stories from this trip with family and friends and without exception – they are in awe of where we were and what we saw. Once-in-a-lifetime trip for the two of us from Vancouver. They think of everything and are with you every step along the journey!
