Highlights
  • Anse Major Trail - After being picked up from your hotel or the ferry, you will be taken to the starting point or the entrance of the trail by car.
    From there we will hike about 1-1.5 hours.
    It’s a narrow, safe hiking trail that sometimes goes up and down a bit.
    You do not need a special level of fitness for this, just good shoes, sports shoes or hiking boots. No sandals or flip flops, please.
    We will stop at several points on the tour to give you enough time to take great pictures. There are several hot spots for this.
    Once you have arrived you have the opportunity to explore the small bay, swim and snorkel.
    There is also a small fresh water basin, with the water from the granite mountains of the nature reserve, which is certainly several million old, very clean and cooling.
    We plan a stay of about 1-2 hours before we either hike back.
    After the hike we will be happy to bring you back to the pick-up point.

Additional Information

Our journey to Anse Major has been relished over a thousand times in the past decade, yet its allure actually endures. This hike, or rather a walk, stands out among the variety of outdoor activities available on Mahé, in the Seychelles.

The guided trek to Anse Major is manageable and feasible even in unsavory weather conditions. It offers breathtaking views of numerous bays and Mahé’s northwest region. The lush flora in the dense jungle we traverse is entirely safe.

Children aged five and above will find this activity equally exhilarating, as many sights are waiting to be explored. If luck favors us, we might even get a chance to spot a genuine flying fox and feed it up close.

Reaching Anse Major requires a little exertion since it’s inaccessible by car, but the exceptional rewards make it worthwhile.

Additionally, our firm has all the necessary accreditations and insurance, endorsed by the tourism authority and issued by the government.

Great Hike! - Great hike with amazing views and not too difficult, although wear shoes. Take snorkel gear there is some nice snorkelling right off the beach at Anse Major. Kevin picked us up on time very knowledgeable about the island and engaging. Would recommend to see this part of the island. Be aware you’ll need to pay a small entry to the trail when you get there.

A great way to see a bit more of Mahé island and have a guided walk to a beautiful remote bay! - Kevin picked us up from our hotel reception and was right on time! The 40 minute journey in the car was very relaxed and informative, Kevin spoke about the history of the Seychelles and the local area. He made sure that we had enough water for our walk. When we arrived, Kevin was happy to take lots of photos of us along the way and whilst he set a brisk pace he always waited for us or slowed down when needed. When we arrived on the beach, he watched our bags as we went for a swim and took even more photos for us! On the way back, he stopped off at the tea shop growing point so that we could see another part of the island. Would highly recommend!

Paid tour and guide didn’t show up with refusal of refund! - Sheena, the guide, did not show up, did not contact me and left me with a loss as she refused the refund! I am waiting to see if Viator refunds me as I paid for a tour that did not happened without any notice or reasonable justification… SHEENA from Seychelles is absolutely to AVOID. She failed but she charged me!!! Not even in the third world we see this happening…
