The Vallée de Mai in Praslin is a lush nature reserve and one of the island’s most famous attractions. It's one of the smallest UNESCO World Heritage Sites in the world and is often called the 'true Garden of Eden' because of its ancient palm forest that has been untouched for millions of years, leading to the evolution of unique species that are only found in this forest. 

The reserve is best known for the Coco de Mer palm, which produces the world’s largest and heaviest seed, which you can hold and see up close!

You can explore the forest, spot rare wildlife like bronze geckos and Seychelles black parrots, and immerse yourself in the rich biodiversity of this tropical paradise.
