Ryan was an amazing guide for my private tour in a nice van. He communicated with me before the tour on my preferences, which included beaches, water, rum distillery, and any animals. Ryan nailed it and stopped for any personal requests. Would take this tour again to see an incredible island.

We thoroughly enjoyed this full day tour of Mahe with Ryan. He is an excellent guide, very friendly and extremely knowledgeable. He tailored the tour to our preferences and was very flexible. He recommended an excellent place for our lunch, which we loved. He gave us as much time as we wanted at all the places we stopped, so we never felt rushed. I highly recommend this tour with Ryan to see the sights of Mahe.

We had a great day touring Mahe with Ryan! As this was our first visit to Mahe and the Seychelles, we were looking for a day trip that could give us an overview of Mahe while also allowing enough time to just enjoy some of the incredible beaches along the way. Our day with Ryan was excellent on both accounts. Ryan is a super friendly and pleasant guide, who tailored the trip to suit our preferences — even when our preferences were maybe a bit vague. He is also very knowledgeable on everything from the history and politics to the plant and animal life of the Seychelles, so we learned a lot while driving through incredible nature and visiting one beach more beautiful than the next. We would especially recommend doing a tour with Ryan quite early in your stay, as you get an excellent overview of Mahe and lots for recommendations for things to do and places/beaches to visit later during your stay. Ryan also provided us with plenty of recommendations for places to visit at the other islands we were going to after Mahe. Thanks Ryan for a great experience!

What an experience! I got to see all important parts of the island, eat good local food, visit some local markets and even temples! Ryan was flexibel and tried to adjust the tour to my preferences as much as possible. 🙏🏻😊

The private Mahé tour with Ryan is an outstanding way to explore the island! Ryan is extremely knowledgeable and was able to navigate us through the entire island. You can choose the places you want to see and the pace you want to travel with. It has been a really pleasure to learn so much about the ecosystem and the culture of the Seychelles while exploring some of the most beautiful beaches in the world!

Beautiful beaches & small little township of Victoria. Parking is an issue and the meals/ beverages / alcohol is expensive.

I don't normally write reviews and we've been on lots of these type of trips. But this was undoubtedly the best one we've ever been on. Ryan was truly excellent the whole day. If you're thinking of doing the day trip around Mahe and reading reviews of who to go with, you don't need to look any further, just book Ryan. Thank you Ryan for a wonderful day.

Ryan was thoroughly professional, considerate throughout and generally a really nice guy ! We had a really enjoyable day, he asked if there was anything we specifically wanted to see & accommodated us. The itinerary he put together ensured we saw as much of the island as possible but the day was always flexible to our needs. It was a thoroughly relaxing yet enjoyable day with a great guide and we felt we saw most of what Mahe has to offer. Worth every penny !
