This hike was the perfect start to my Seychelles vacation! My local guide, Ryan, was amazing. He has vast knowledge not only about the flora and fauna of the country but he also shared information about the history and culture. The walk had ups, downs and flats - views down to the ocean and lots of beautiful trees, plants and animals.
