Surrounded by three national marine parks, Mahé is fringed with 68 beaches while the inland revels in lush vegetation from rainforests and coconut palms, to cinnamon plantations. With a backdrop of towering 1000m granite peaks it’s the principle island in the Seychelles archipelago. Home to 90% of the Seychelles population, the cultural diversity reflects the decent of African, Indian, Chinese and European populations.
Diving information
Diving and snorkeling is a huge pastime in the Seychelles as the Inner Islands are the remains of a submerged mountain range and house an extensive range of fascinating marine life across a multitude of dive sites.
The diving is diverse and includes both coral reefs and the impressive granite reef formations that the Inner Islands are renowned for. The different islands each have their own special sites - all the northerly islands offer impressive granite reef locations where the sculptured rocks are covered with soft corals and sponges and fish life is prolific, wreck dives are available in some areas, but only the islands to the south have wall dives, drop-off dives and drift diving opportunities.
Wherever you sail in the Seychelles, you won’t fail be amazed by some of the most picture-perfect scenery on the planet.
