Perfect honeymoon - Just great, we did the valmer resort on Mahe, then the orange grove area on the dike and finally consistency lemuria on praslin. All visits were great, thanks to Jude, our super driver, the transfers were handled perfectly.

A spectacle of nature accompanied by a guide remained in the heart, Mario! - We visited the interior of the UNESCO heritage site Vallè de Mai in the company of the guide Mario ("but I am not Italian and I do not speak it"😂). Very well prepared, nice, good, good, good! He described flora and fauna, curiosity, all seasoned with spirit and fun. Then lunch at Cote d'Or buffet (very good) in La Piroghe and a few hours of bathing in Anse Lazio. Wonderful! We found ourselves on another excursion to Couriose Island and St Pierre to visit the turtles of Aldabra (protected species) and inland Curious Island with lunch and snorkeling (unfortunately not possible in St Pierre for the rough sea, but they found other possible sites off Anse Georgette and Anse Lazio plus lighthouse area. Wonderful! Highly recommended both excursions. We will be back as soon as possible for the catamaran! Meanwhile, thanks for the wonderful experience! Great also in support during the transfer islands and support at the airport. ❤️

I highly recommend Creole T.S to take care of organizing your excursions in the Seychelles. - We stayed 6 days in Praslin and took all our excursions with the Creole Travel Services. We were truly delighted with all our excursions. Between the quality guide, a team always smiling, extraordinary days, everything was truly just incredible and very well organized. I would particularly like to thank Valerie from the Creole agency who is truly brilliant. Every day we receive a message from her to keep us informed of the next excursion or the news of the day. Top service! I recommend

Worth seeing - Very nice tour with a very nice tour guide. The path is not challenging, closed shoes are better than flip flops :-)! You can learn a lot about the nature of the Seyschellnen and the Coco de Mer! Fun and interesting!

Nice but...not cheap. - We participated in the full day excursion from Mahé to Praslin and La digue. Guide named Galina really exceptional and spoke Italian. Unfortunately the weather was not favorable at all but this is nobody's fault. They picked us up at the hotel and brought us back. Lunch included except drinks. All day for a total of € 480 per couple. Not insignificant cost. The Group consisted of 18 people.

Not exceptional disappointed - We saw a lot of coconut sea or coconut buttocks for the rest no animals. No need to take a guide because everything is explained. Even if you give a foundation 30 € admission is really exaggerated for what there is to see...

Not worth the money! - This trip was definitely not worth £150 for the two of us, very disappointing. The transport didn’t turn up at the hotel, when we did get picked up I was expecting something a little more private and comfortable for the money. Unfortunately I don’t rate Valle De Mai, we didn’t see a lot other than Coco de Mer trees, a big spider and geckos that we see every day by the pool of the hotel. Don’t get me wrong, the young guide was very knowledgeable and lovely but it didn’t make up for lack of things to see. To top it off, we didn’t get the bottle of water as per the trip guidance.
