Getting There

Car
If you're traveling by car, start from Victoria, the capital of Mahé. Drive along the main road (La Misère Road or the coastal road) heading towards the south. Follow the signs towards Bel Ombre and continue until you reach the junction for the Anse Major road. Take a left turn onto Anse Major road which leads into a more rural area. Make sure to keep an eye out for signs that direct you towards the Viewpoint (Île au Cerf). The last part of the road may require you to park your car at a designated area and take a short hike or walk to the viewpoint. Parking may be limited, so arrive early to secure a spot. Be aware of any parking fees that may apply in the area.
