Giant Tortoises, Coco de Mer & More: Nature Wonders You Can’t Miss

The Seychelles archipelago is a paradise not only for beach lovers but also for nature enthusiasts. Beyond the turquoise waters and powdery white sands lies a world of incredible biodiversity, where some of the planet’s most extraordinary species thrive. From ancient tortoises to mythical palms, these islands are a living museum of natural wonders waiting to be explored.



Giant Tortoises
The Majestic Giant Tortoises of the Seychelles
Few sights are as iconic as the Aldabra giant tortoise slowly making its way across the lush island landscape. Native to the remote Aldabra Atoll, these gentle giants can live well over a century and weigh up to 250 kilograms. Meeting them is like stepping back in time—an encounter with a creature that has witnessed centuries of change. Today, conservation efforts on islands like Curieuse and Cousin help protect these magnificent animals, ensuring that future generations can continue to marvel at their serene presence.
The Legendary Coco de Mer
Unique to the Seychelles, the Coco de Mer palm produces the largest and most fascinating seed in the world. Often called the “love nut” for its suggestive shape, it has long captured the imagination of travelers and locals alike. Growing only on Praslin and Curieuse islands, the Coco de Mer is a national treasure and a symbol of Seychelles’ natural heritage. A walk through the Vallée de Mai Nature Reserve—home to these palms—feels like entering a prehistoric world, with towering leaves and the calls of rare black parrots echoing overhead.
More Wonders of the Wild
The Seychelles’ natural beauty extends far beyond its most famous icons. The islands are home to vibrant coral reefs teeming with marine life, lush mangrove forests, and mountain trails offering breathtaking views. Endemic species like the Seychelles tree frog, paradise flycatcher, and pitcher plant make the archipelago a dream destination for eco-travelers and wildlife photographers alike.
