Start your trip with a relaxing day at Beau Vallon Beach, a crescent-shaped beach with calm turquoise waters perfect for swimming and snorkeling. You can rent kayaks or paddleboats and explore the water or simply enjoy sunbathing on the sand. There are several family-friendly restaurants nearby where you can grab some lunch or dinner.
Take a trip into Victoria, the capital city of Seychelles, to explore the Victoria Market, a vibrant bazaar that sells everything from fresh seafood to handmade crafts. Afterwards, head to the Seychelles Natural History Museum to learn about the island's unique geology, flora, and fauna. Make sure to check their opening hours to plan your visit accordingly.
For your final day in Mahe, take a hike through the Morne Seychellois National Park, a beautiful rainforest with stunning views of the island's mountains and coastline. There are several hiking trails to choose from, ranging in difficulty from easy to challenging, so you can pick one that suits your family's needs. Make sure to wear comfortable shoes and pack plenty of water and snacks for the trip.
If you have more time, consider visiting other beaches on the island such as Anse Royale or Anse Intendance. You can also take a day trip to the nearby island of Praslin to see the world-famous Vallée De Mai, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that is home to the rare Coco de Mer palm. For less time, swap out the hike in Morne Seychellois National Park for a visit to the nearby Botanical Gardens.
