Vallée de Mai & Nature Trek — Seychelles UNESCO Heritage
Guided trek through the prehistoric palm forest & Coco de Mer discovery
Tour Overview
The Vallée de Mai is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of only two places on Earth where the Coco de Mer palm grows naturally. This prehistoric forest looks exactly as it did millions of years ago — towering palms creating a cathedral of green, with dappled sunlight filtering through the canopy. Your expert naturalist guide reveals the mysteries of this ancient forest — the suggestive shape of the Coco de Mer seed (the world's largest), the elusive black parrot, and the chameleons and geckos that inhabit the undergrowth. Combine with Anse Lazio beach visit for the perfect Praslin day.
Day-by-Day Itinerary
Walk through a forest that has barely changed in 65 million years. The Vallée de Mai on Praslin is home to the legendary Coco de Mer palm and the rare Seychelles black parrot.
