ANSE MAJOR & ANSE JASMIN
  • Tip Rating:
  • on Mahé Island!
    Those beaches are only accessible by walking (about 25 minutes) or by hiring a boat in Beau Vallon.
    The trail passes through the unspoilt Morne Seychellois NP, fringed by some impressive glacis rock formations. It starts in Danzilles just beyond La Scala Restaurant. Always walk on the trail closest to the sea. The 2 beaches /Anse Major and Anse Jasmin) are blissfully quiet and is good for swimming and snorkelling. Bring your own food and drinks.

    I miss the evenings on the terrace of the house in Belombre with my host family, a local couple, called Katrina and Cyril. I could hear the waves rolling softly towards the beach, stars twinkling above the lush tropical garden and a cool fresh breeze from the sea makes it perfect (together with a chilly Sey Brew beer in my hand)!

    Watching life on the beach
  • Tip Rating:
  • I loved to get up early in the morning and watch the fishermen bring their cathc back and all the locals helping to bring the net ashore in return for a fish or two. Fishing is one of the major industries in the Seychelles.

  • Tip Rating:
  • Get ready to spend some time with yourself. There isn't much to do by way of sightseeing in seychelles. So bring along a few books or whatever you choose to do with your days and choose a different beach or Island everyday.

  • Tip Rating:
  • Go for a hike in the mist forests on Mahe or Silhouette. Get a guide to take you up and show you the sights!

    Standing on the beach at La Passe on Silhouette, looking towards Mahe in the sunshine and thinking how lucky I was....

  • Tip Rating:
  • Visit the capital, Victoria! This picture is of the clock at the main junction. It's the world's smallest capital city, and is a great place to be! :)

    Try the Pirate's Arms for great food or a cool drink...

    Oh, and buy some 'busy bee' honey from the main supermarket - the nicest thing i've ever tasted!! (it's from australia, but you can buy seychelles honey too!)

  • Tip Rating:
  • watch the sun set.... this picture was taken from near the Nature Protection Trust house on Silhouette.

    because the sky is so clear, you can see the Milky Way and Mars at night (depending on the time of year). And look out for Orion - he's sideways!!

    laying on the pier at La Passe, next to an ENORMOUS pile of coconuts, watching the stars!

    By far the most beautiful memory of the Seychelles is spending time being with someone you enjoy. In this case, it was Leo. I think he was the only Argentinien in the whole island chain, and I was probably the most pale. I can never say enough about the Seychelles. I have always been reluctant to go back places I have already been if they are too out of the way...but there is one thing I know....I will definitely go back to the Seychelles...and maybe from there will pop over to the Maldives now that there is a direct connection between the Maldives and the Seychelles.

  • Tip Rating:
  • Rent a car and go around the island. There is a lot of nice places, beaches, and a fantastic nature.

    You also have to go to some of the other islands like La Digue, Praslin, Silhouette or Bird Island

    Life in Seychelles is absolutly relaxing and You do not get here to do shopping!
