Believed by some to be the original Garden of Eden, Praslin is home to one of the Seychelles’ two World Heritage sites.
The Vallee de Mai is a primeval rainforest containing gigantic palm trees. This includes the unique Coco de Mer palm, notorious for its suggestive-shaped fruit. Here you can watch turtle eggs hatch at a sheltered nesting site. Or hunt through virgin forest for some of the world’s rarest birds – the Seychelles Bulbul, the Fruit Pigeon and the Black Parrot.
