What to expect
Leave the world behind and head into the mysterious realm of Vallee de Mai, a legendary valley where General Gordon of Khartoum became convinced that this was the original site of the biblical Garden of Eden. Be mesmerized by this magical place and stroll along the charmingly windy footpaths, a place so special it has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site! Make sure to check out beneath the shade of ancient, towering palm trees, the most extraordinary fruit of all: the famous Coco de Mer, a double-lobed coconut and the world’s heaviest seed with a distinctive humanly shape. Along the path, you'll also be able to listen for the call of one of the world’s rarest birds, the Seychelles Black Parrot. Wander through the valley with your expert guide and be introduced to spectacular local treasures such as one of the planet’s tiniest frogs, stick insects, chameleons and six species of endemic palm trees. Welcome to the Heart of Praslin.
