Vallee de Mai

Enter the forgotten world of Praslin’s legendary Vallée de Mai, still miraculously untouched by man, where the once mythical Coco-de-mer, the world’s heaviest seed sensuously shaped in the form of a female pelvis, was first discovered.

Now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Vallée de Mai – once believed to be the original site of the Garden of Eden – still nurtures several rare species of flora and fauna for you to enjoy, such as the famous Seychelles Black Parrot, the tiger chameleon and the diminutive Seychelles tree frog.
