Magnificent nature in Vallee de Mai with captivating stories about the origin of different plants! The guide was well-read and committed. Will return one day to experience these magical environments again. After the tour we drove to Anse Lazio, for a wonderful swim on the beach.
Great day on Praslin

I loved seeing all the different species of palms and learning about the coco de mare. Our guide was really informative and pointed out the animals along the way. I recommend this for everyone.
Perfect trip

Very pleasant day and trip to the two "must" places in Praslin :-) The guide was very prepared and friendly; his explanation about the local places, plants, wildlife and curiosities was very interesting :-) Another good thing was that we were just a small group of 3, so it was like a private trip. I was put together with two French girls and - as I had told the guide that I also speak French - it was perfectly fine with me to have everything explained in French language, seeing that he also was more confident with French. The time spent in both stops - Valle de Mai and Anse Lazio - was enough, even if I would have spent little bit more time in Anse Lazio, just because this beach is so beautiful:-)
Very nice day

Day trip with a day divided into two parts. First part in the morning at the beach the cove of Lazio, which is beautiful there was no one. That’s why we went in the morning then lunch on the beach in a very good restaurant called the Knight, then in the afternoon visit the May Valley, which is an amazing unique forest with Jose who knows his island very well and very friendly.
Must do with excellent guide

Our driver José was really very nice and helpful. He took us to see a local village and then to the Valle de Mai, telling us very well about the history of the coco de mer. Excellent!
Closer to nature!

Magnificent walk in the Ferney valley. 3 walking circuits are offered to you 5/12/ and 18 km. The vegetation is luxuriant and the fauna numerous. The change of scenery is TOTAL. The difficulties are gradual and well adapted to your level. Don't miss these steps.
Not to be missed!

Very good & punctual service; Jose, our driver, was very knowledgable and has a great sense of humour; a great day ou ton Praslin. Anse Lazio was the highlight! The vehilce provided was spacious and in very good condition - very clean! Unfortunatley 2 of our family members had to cancel their travel plans at the 11th hour because of a medical emergency in the family. Vision Voyages refunded their share of payment without us having to ask for it. The staff dealt with us cery professionally. I would not hesitate to recommend this tour with Vision Voyages.
