About Mahé

One of the ‘inner islands’ of the Seychelles, Mahé’s capital Victoria is also the capital of the archipelago, and some ships stop overnight here, en route to or from South Africa. Ideal for holidaymakers looking to explore, there are botanical gardens, Hindu temples, a Roman Catholic cathedral and Victorian architecture. Visitors can also indulge in hiking across the rugged interior of Morne Seychellois National Park or a spot of diving in pristine sites within sight of whale sharks.
