Nature Trails
Anse Major
A relatively easy trail along the rocky northwestern coastline of Mahé which can be reached from the bus terminal at Danzil, in the northern district of Bel Ombre. Go up the hill then take the right fork in the road, passing through the small but expanding settlement of Danzil following the yellow route markers. Where the road turns into a walking path, take the left uphill one. This one leads to the small secluded beach of Anse Major.
Vacoa Mahe
The trail starts close to Le Meridiens Barbarons hotel at Anse Boileau in the south of Mahe. It’s a fairly easy trail which traces a path up and around the Dauban River, from its network of mangroves to the forest further inland. It is dominated by the Seychelles screw pines or vakwa in Creole that dominate the area hence its name. Other interesting features are immense granite boulders.
Copolia
Another trail situated in the Morne Seychellois National Park in the northwest corner of Seychelles’ main island, Mahe. The trail starts at Val Riche, Port Glaud. There is a trail sign in a bend near the road. It’s easy at the beginning but more difficult as you progress. This is seen as one of the best and easiest accessible areas to see most of the country’s specialised glacis flora at intermediate altitude.
Montagne Brulée Nature Trail
The Brule nature trail starts on top of Montagne Posse road, giving magnificent panoramic views of both sides of the island amoung the endemic latanier feuilles.
Dans Gallas
The trail can be accessed at the Le Niol last bus stop — on the opposite side of the road is an information point for the Morne Seychellois National Park, where you can get more detailed information during working hours. This is a much tougher trail but worth the trouble as it offers a magnificent bird’s eye view of the capital, Victoria. The main features are the panoramic views and the scenery which you discover as you follow the route.
Glacis noire
This one is located on the east coast of the second-most populated island, Praslin. It overlooks the east coast of the island and offers a fine view of La Digue, the third-most populated island. This trail allows visitors to discover all six of the Seychelles’ endemic palms, including the world -amous coco de mer.
Morne Seychellois National Park
The Morne Seychellois Park is the largest in Seychelles and was created in 1979. It covers a total surface area of 3,045 hectares, more than 20% of Mahé . It is 10km in length and between 2km and 4km wide and equipped with an extensively trail network covering more than 15km.
Vallee de mai
Located in the district of Grand Anse Praslin, follow the signs for Vallée de Mai. Numerous trails lead through this emerald-tinged forest, which remains virtually untouched. At the Vallee You can start at the fok The shortest is about 1km and the longest is 2km — all clearly marked and easy going. This is the place where you see the legendary coco de mer growing in its natural habitat.
Morne Blanc
The initial part of the trail passes through an old tea plantation, from there it is a continuous uphill climb from an already high-altitude in the Morne Seychellois National Park in the western part of Mahe. Along the way, hikers can see many of the fascinating and diverse plant community which is unique to Seychelles. An early start is recommended to avoid the sun and mountain mist which sometimes form later in the day.
Mission lodge
This one is recommended as it is a place of great historic and cultural value to the Seychellois. Up in the hills of Sans Souci on Mahe, you will see a signboard that will indicate you to the Mission Lodge. The trail leads to the ruins of the school built by the Anglican mission for children of freed slaves. An easy trail that offers the most famous vantage point in all of Seychelles — spectacular sea and mountain views looking southward across Mahé, all under a small pavilion where Queen Elizabeth II sat for tea in 1972.
Les Trois Frères
From the Sans Soucis Forestry Station on Mahe, there is a secondary road which goes uphill, indicated with a wooden sign ‘Trois Frères’. Follow the sign up the hill – the trail goes up to an altitude of 300 metres through the Morne Seychellois National Park and offers a magnificent view of Victoria, the capital, and the Ste Anne Marine Park. It is not an easy walk and steep in certain places.
Mare aux Cochons
This one is a series of interlinked trails leading deep in the Morne Seychellois National Park. Start at Danzil, Bel Ombre in the north of Mahe – at the signpost to Anse Major, turn right and go uphill until you reach a signpost “Dans Bernard”.

Casse Dent
Just off the main road on the western coast of Mahe before the entrance to the Constance Ephelia hotel, this trail is a long walk along the ridge of a mountain base. It involves continuous ascents and descents through fascinating communities of screw pines, a palm marsh and endemic trees. A natural waterfall at the end gives a chance to cool off and a perfect spot for resting.
Glacis La Reserve
This trail in the south of Mahe varies from easy to moderate and there are occasional steep climbs which add a bit of challenge. The trail starts just off the Montagne Posee road that links Anse aux Pins on the eastern side of Mahé to Anse Boileau on the western coast. The circular tracks allow hikers to see beautiful palm forests and five out of the six native species of Seychelles. Three lookout points give a rewarding view of Mahe.
Anse Capucins
