Seychelles National Botanical Gardens alone was worth the trip, but combined with Anse Source d'Argent this itinerary really delivered. Breakfast at the hotel was good every day and the local guide was knowledgeable.

We added a couple of optional activities beyond Mission Lodge viewpoint and don't regret it. Good value for what was included, and the food recommendations from our guide were spot on.

Seychelles is stunning and this package covered the essentials well, especially Seychelles National Botanical Gardens. The hotel could have been a little closer to the center but transport was easy.

Everything was handled for us — flights, hotel, transfers, and tours to Morne Seychellois National Park guided hike and Beau Vallon beach. Great communication from the consultant before departure too.

Booked this as a solo trip and it was well paced. Aride Island Nature Reserve seabird tour in particular stood out. A couple of the transfers ran a little late but nothing that spoiled the trip.
