A place with a truly magical view and an interesting garden. A bit expensive (175 SCR pp), so make sure you bring enough time with you to make the most of it. Watch out for mosquitoes!!

Nice place, educational, nice walking routes, kind people. Consider that getting there by foot is challenging due to a considerable hill and few shadow.

Beautiful, gorgeous, green paradise! One can spend hours walking around the garden and see so many species on one spot! Many exotic trees had their fruits- it was so special to see avocado, jackfruit, ananas and so many others that europeans see normally only in the supermarket. One gets a map of the garden, but I found it totally confusing. It wasnt easy to navigate if you wanted to see any specific plants. There was millions of moskitos, dont forget your spray! The entrance fee is somewhat high. What we found a rip off was price of espresso - 115 is a bit too much also in the context of already expensive Seyschells. I wasnt pleased to see that many turtoises on such a small place, not mentioning other smaller animals.

great place. you can see that a family has been taking care of it with passion for 5 generations. lots of different plants in one place. and those bats flying over your head. a bit expensive, but that's probably the flaw of the whole island. I can recommend vanilla ice cream, lemongrass ice cream, lemonade and ginger drink.
