Best Excursions in Victoria


The Seychelles allow many activities on land.

In Mahé, it is possible to visit Victoria. 

It is the capital and the largest city of the Seychelles. It concentrates 24,000 inhabitants, that is to say one third of the Seychellois population.

There are several sites to see:

The Hindu Temple of Victoria

Arul Mihu Navasakthi Temple is the only Hindu temple in Seychelles. Built in 1992, the temple was named after Lord Vinayagar, the Hindu god of security and prosperity.

Its façade, sculpted with dozens of brightly colored deities, will leave you speechless.

The Seychelles National Museum

This small museum retraces the territory's past through various exhibitions of works of art, musical instruments and traditional objects.

Sir Selwyn Clarke Market

This market was built at the beginning of the 18th century, although it was renovated a few years ago. Located in the heart of the city, there are all kinds of tropical products: spices, fish, fruits and flowers.

Victoria Botanical Garden

This garden was founded by a French Mauritian, Rivaltz Dupont. There you will find many palm trees of different species. The famous Cocos de mer, male and female, face the giant Palmiste. Ornamental shrubs such as Hibiscus or Ylang-ylang follow one another in the paths.

Victoria's Clock Tower

The Clock Tower which was built in 1903 to commemorate the colonial separation from Mauritius is a replica of Little Ben which stands outside Victoria Station in London
