  Visiting the Takamaka Rum Distillery was a delightful experience! The place itself is beautiful, with a charming and laid-back atmosphere that perfectly complements the island vibes. The distillery is set in a lush, tropical environment, making it a great spot to relax and enjoy a tasting. I had the chance to try different varieties of their rum, each with its own distinct character. From smooth, aged blends to spiced and flavored options, there was something for every palate. The quick tour of the distillery was insightful, giving a glimpse into how the rum is made. It was interesting to see the production process and learn about the history of Takamaka, which is proudly Seychelles’ own rum. Overall, it’s a great place to visit if you’re in Seychelles—whether you’re a rum enthusiast or just looking for a relaxing experience with local flavors. Would definitely recommend it!

  Thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Takamaka Rum Distillery. There are free guided tours available, but we just walked around ourselves reading the information panels within the house & gardens. Interesting information both inside and outside, and the garden is nice & well kept. After, we opted for the rum tasting for 150 Seychelle Rupees per person. We had a brilliant rum tasting experience with Rebecca who thoroughly explained each rum, and made the experience so funny & enjoyable. Highly recommend visiting, and there’s a nice gift shop too! We had a nice lunch beforehand around the corner at Maison Marengo, so overall 10/10 afternoon.

  We had such a fun time on the free tour and the tasting session is definitely worth the money if you're into your rum. The staff were friendly and it's a good vibe to hang out there. Definitely worth the day trip if you're on Mahé.

  Would really recommend visiting this distillery, the free tour was 30 min and the tour guide was very enthusiastic and funny. Then the rum tasting you have two options, 6 shots for 150 SR or 10 for 300 SR which in my opinion is very good. They also have a bar, food truck, a garden with tortoises , and many different accessories in the shop. I would recommend bringing your own water and mosquito repellent.
