Overview
Victoria, the capital of Seychelles, is one of the smallest capitals in the world yet brimming with charm and culture. Nestled on Mahé Island, it blends colonial history with vibrant island life. Visitors are greeted by landmarks like the Victoria Clock Tower, bustling markets, and colorful streets lined with shops and cafés. The city is also a gateway to natural wonders, from the lush Victoria Botanical Gardens to scenic hikes such as the Copolia Trail, offering panoramic views of the island and turquoise waters beyond.
Beyond its compact city center, Victoria provides easy access to marine and mountain adventures. The nearby Saint-Anne Marine National Park invites snorkeling and wildlife encounters, while the Morne Seychelles National Park covers over 20% of Mahé with trails through diverse ecosystems. Whether you’re exploring cultural sites, meeting giant tortoises, or taking a semi-submarine tour from Eden Island, Victoria offers a perfect balance of history, nature, and island hospitality.
Wander through lush grounds featuring coco de mer palm trees, spice groves, and giant tortoises. This century-old garden is a peaceful retreat showcasing Seychelles’ unique biodiversity.
Tip: Arrive early in the morning for cooler temperatures and to see the tortoises more active.
Known locally as “Little Ben,” this historic landmark has stood since 1903 and is modeled after London’s Vauxhall Clock Tower. It remains one of Victoria’s most recognizable symbols.
Tip: Combine a photo stop here with a stroll through the nearby market for a taste of local life.
This jungle trail leads to a summit with 360-degree views of Mahé Island and its turquoise waters. Along the way, you’ll encounter carnivorous pitcher plants and dense tropical forest.
Tip: Wear sturdy shoes and bring water—the climb is steep but rewarding.
A network of six islands just off Victoria, this park is famous for clear reefs, colorful fish, and sea turtles. It’s also a great spot for hiking and wildlife viewing.
Tip: Book a boat excursion for the best access to snorkeling sites.
Located within the Botanical Gardens, the Giant Tortoise Enclosure lets you see Seychelles’ iconic Aldabra tortoises up close.
Tip: Feeding sessions are a highlight, especially for families with children.
From Eden Island, board a semi-submarine vessel to explore coral reefs without getting wet. It’s a unique way to see tropical marine life.
Tip: Morning tours often have the clearest underwater visibility.
