Mahe is the largest of the Seychelles islands and encompasses the country’s international airport as well as its capital, the surprisingly quiet and peaceful town of Victoria, home to roughly a third of the national population, as well as many good restaurants and entertainment venues. Mahe has a mountainous interior characterised by dense tropical forests and stony outcrops, while its coast is blessed with some 75-odd beautiful beaches. The best known of these is the idyllic, white-sand Beau Vallon, fringed by deep bays that offer excellent swimming, snorkelling and scuba diving.
Guided Fly Fishing
Just a one-hour flight south of Mahé, in the outer islands of the Seychelles, lies the breathtakingly beautiful private island of Alphonse. This mile-long coral island forms part of a pristine, untouched atoll which is surrounded by expansive hard white-sand flats and is renowned for providing some of the world’s best fly and deep-sea fishing opportunities. Due to its crystal-clear warm waters, unbleached and largely untouched corals, great visibility and a diverse range of marine life, the island also makes an excellent destination for diving and snorkelling enthusiasts. Other popular activities include stand up paddle boarding, canoeing, kayaking, windsurfing, tennis, nature walks, bird watching, cycling or simply relaxing on the island’s idyllic palm-lined beaches surrounded by exquisitely lush natural forests.
