Seychelles's Inner Islands
Praslin
A quieter, less developed version of its neighboring Mahe, Praslin presents the idyllic island retreat rooted in the most vibrant of fantasies. Reputed as the original Garden of Eden, Praslin boasts exotic vegetation, soft sandy beaches, and a wealth of diverse wildlife, as well as the revered home of the world’s largest coconut, the Coco-de-mer. Now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Vallee De Mai is home to this remarkable nut, as well as such rarities as the insect eating pitcher plant, brilliant vanilla orchids, and some of the world’s rarest avian phenomena including the Seychelles Bulbul, fruit pigeon, and the infamous Black Parrot, and is a must see for anyone visiting the island of Praslin.
After exploring Vallee De Mai, take an afternoon to challenge the Championship Golf Course, try your luck at one of the only two casinos in the Seychelles, or explore the diverse wonderland of more than nine hundred species of vibrant tropical fish that thrive below.
