Getting There

  • Car

    If you are traveling by car, start from your accommodation on Felicite Island. Drive to the nearest ferry terminal on La Digue Island. From there, take a ferry to Mahé Island, which takes approximately 30 minutes. Once you arrive at the Victoria port on Mahé, follow the signs to the Sans Soucis Rd. The Morne Seychellois Trail entrance is located along this road. As there is no direct road access to the trailhead from Felicite Island, this is the most efficient route.

    If you prefer using public transportation, start by taking a boat from Felicite Island to La Digue Island. There are several daily ferry services between the islands. After arriving in La Digue, take a ferry to Mahé Island. Upon reaching Victoria, use local buses that travel towards Sans Soucis Rd. You can ask the bus driver to drop you off at the nearest stop to Morne Seychellois Trail. The bus fare is around 5-10 SCR (Seychellois Rupees). From the bus stop, it's a short walk to the trail entrance.
