Choose one of four private Mahé trails with guide Nils of Cocotier Tours. Hike to Copolia, Trois Frères, Morne Blanc, or Anse Major while learning about Seychelles plants and wildlife. Expect three to four hours, a bottle of water per person, and a trail matched to your fitness.

“Nils was an excellent guide, very communicative and informative. I picked Morne Blanc trail, although it was cloudy when we reached the top, along the way Nils pointed out some very interesting things, we even spotted the smallest frog on earth. I highly recommend this hike with Nils, he has a great personality and is a great photographer.”
