Full Day Discovery Tour of Mahe
The tour begins with a transfer from the hotel for a stop in the colonial centre of “the world’s smallest capital”, Victoria. Head over to the ‘Codevar’ building where local crafts, including the renowned Kreol Or [Creole Gold] are on display for sale. A walk across Albert Street leads one to the focal point of the town, its colourful market where stalls of fresh fish, tropical fruits & vegetables, herbs & spices, are displayed in an abundance of fragrances.
This is followed by a drive across the Sans Soucis mountain pass where you will enjoy an authentic Creole lunch. The tour then continues to the restored colonial plantation of ‘Jardin du Roi. A cold drink of home-grown fruit welcomes visitors, before they tour the surrounding plantation of vegetables, exotic fruits, herbs and spices.
The rest of the afternoon is for relaxation, with a stop at the Craft Village on the way back to the hotel, at around 16h00.
