Seychelles Skippered Yacht & Lodge Safari Proposed Itinerary

You will be met upon arrival when you can immediately hand your luggage to your driver guide who will take you to one of the natural highlights of the Seychelles: the Vallée de Mai UNESCO World Heritage Site.  Here you will enjoy a private guided exploration of this unique forest which is the only native home of the world’s largest nut: the Coco de Mer.

From the Vallée de Mai you will be driven to your hotel.  Our standard recommendation is a hotel which enjoys a secluded position beneath Praslin’s second unique natural forest area and is home to largest population of critically endangered Seychelles Black Parrots.  Our more premium option enjoys a commanding position of the wide sweeping beaches of Anse Volbert.
