We had a great time with Mario, who was passionate and thorough in explaining the beauty of Vallee de Mai.

Great activity. Recommend highly

Beautiful place to visit and learn about the natural environment. Guide was very informative and friendly. Worth the money.

Not worth the money!

MandyAnne_M, May 2025

This trip was definitely not worth £150 for the two of us, very disappointing. The transport didn’t turn up at the hotel, when we did get picked up I was expecting something a little more private and comfortable for the money. Unfortunately I don’t rate Valle De Mai, we didn’t see a lot other than Coco de Mer trees, a big spider and geckos that we see every day by the pool of the hotel. Don’t get me wrong, the young guide was very knowledgeable and lovely but it didn’t make up for lack of things to see. To top it off, we didn’t get the bottle of water as per the trip guidance.

Dear Mandy, Thank you for sharing your feedback on your Vallée de Mai tour. We're truly sorry that your experience wasn't what you'd hoped for. We take your comments about the transport and the missing water bottle very seriously and sincerely apologize for this lapse in service. We're so glad to hear that your guide was very knowledgeable! The Vallée de Mai is a beautiful natural reserve, and while we're proud of the unique Coco de Mer, sightings of certain wildlife can sometimes be a matter of luck on the day. Thank you again for your feedback; it helps us to improve our services. We hope you will give us the opportunity to provide you with a more memorable experience in the future.

Try other nature reserve.

The staff were digging for tip and really cared about us also the explanation is not accurate about the coco de mare a bit misleading.

Response from Host, Oct 2022

We are investigating this matter as a top concern, and would greatly appreciate if you could send as a complete report of the experience on myexperience@creoletravelservices.com. We sincerely regret that this was your takeaway from what is one of the most magical, natural wonders of the Seychelles islands. We hope that should you return, you give it another chance to experience. Thank you once again and we look forward to hearing from you. Regards Team Creole

Nous avons fait la journée complète Vallée de Mai et la plage de Anse Lazio avec le restaurant qui était excellent. La vallée, un guide au top qui nous a fait découvrir pleins d’arbres de plante de fruits sans oublier les cocos de mer l’emblème de l’île. Super journée. Je recommande a 100%
