5.00Ryan is an amazing guide who went over above to make sure we had the best day. So knowledgeable, professional and personable. A fabulous hike off the beaten track into the wetlands of Mare de Cochons. A truly unforgettable experience where we got to see native birds, tree frogs, native vegetation and dancing snails!
A perfect way to start my Seychelles vacation.

5.00This 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.
