Main attraction is coco demer. There is too much of climb and having hiking poles is a better idea. We had a visit to Seychelles in first week of April and stayed in Mahe and Praslin , 3 nights each. Also had a day tour to La Digue. Overall experience was good. However Travel triangle/Holiday box could have advised us to pre- book electric buggy at LaDigue in advance for those who do not cycle. All these buggies were pre-booked and we had to engage a taxi at an exorbitant price of SCR 2000, a clear loot. The services of Creole travel service was amazingly perfect however the other provider Jadore for St Anne Marine national park was not at all professional and had poor quality of service. They had mentioned wrong hotels against guests which caused confusion to the pick-up driver. Also they did not honour their own voucher and had to argue with them to show the Moyenne island which was included in the voucher sent by them. Maria from Jadore promised us on phone (after lot of arguments) that she will refund the ticket price but she never refunded despite repeated reminders. Jadore is not reliable at all. The Barbecue lunch at Cerf island was also unclean and not good for vegetarians. Only Rice and Dal (pulses) were provided to vegetarians, no equivalent BBQ veg. I wish St Anne park was also booked with Creole travel services rather than Jadore.

Having visited this attraction on a day with a bit of rain was both good and bad. The canape shield us from most of the rain, but wildlife (and guides) are less motivated to put on a good display on a rainy day. A good guide will introduce you to the special botanical stories and specialities. Be aware: Mobile tickets are accepted, but there is no mobile coverage at the location, so it has to be downloaded prior to arriving.
