Mahé Excursions

Are you looking for a guided and private trip on the Seychelles? A half-day trip or full day excursion? Also has ideas in bad weather for an outing?

We offer excursions all year round for Mahé.

We like to distinguish between an island tour or a beach tour on Mahé.



Island Tour Excursion on Mahé

On the Island Tour you will see various highlights in the excursion, such as the spice garden, various monuments, viewpoints, Mission Lodge, the Hindu Temple, but also one or the other beach and very much more. Of course there will also be time for lunch, which you can optionally enjoy in one of our recommended restaurants on Mahé.


Mahé Beach Excursion

On the Beach Tour we focus on the most beautiful beaches of Mahé. No sightseeing, just lazily enjoying the beaches of the Seychelles. Swimming, snorkeling, a cocktail at the beach bar, taking pictures and relaxing is the theme here.


Mahé Hike Excursion

If an island tour or a beach tour is not your thing, we offer other excursions as a walking tour. There would be the possibility of the Copolia nature trail, a hike to Anse Major or even to the very popular Rock pool of the Seychelles.


Art & Handcraft Excursion

For art lovers or simply for those who would like to discover the arts and crafts of the Seychelles, we also have an arts and crafts tour where you can visit various renowned and extremely creative artists of the Seychelles in their galleries.


Rastafari Excursion

If you want to be creative and immerse yourself in the world of the Rastafarians, we have a great excursion in combination with a workshop for you.
Learn Sun-Printing by combining the flora of the Seychelles with your creativity and then design your own pareo, which you can also keep as a souvenir later and always have an exclusive memory of the Seychelles thus at home.


Seychelles Individual Excursion

From each something would be your dream as a trip? Here we offer you as well an individual excursion on Mahé.
Half day or the whole day, beaches, sights, art – no matter what and how you want to combine it, we are completely open, we recommend, you decide.


Extended Excursion in the Seychelles

Our tours and excursions are usually 4-6 hours long. Many of our clients do not want to sit in the car much longer or spend the day with a tour on Mahé. But that doesn’t mean that if you just can’t get enough of the many beauties of the Seychelles that then it has to be over.
We are happy to offer our clients to extend the Mahé tour and excursion. For 25 € per hour you can admire and enjoy the Seychelles as long as YOU want.


Private and guided Excursion

All our excursions are private and guided. This means that at least one trained tour guide accompanies this excursion and that only you or your family or tour group takes part in this excursion. If you are a larger group, we always have an additional driver or 2nd tour guide with us.


Pure Happiness on Mahé

We are happy if you contact us with your wishes, ideas and dreams. Very, very gladly we are available with words and deeds. Also extraordinary Mahé excursions, e.g. with a helicopter are always feasible. Always according to our motto: “We are happy to make you happy!

Wonderful guided tours with Sheena Jean to the most beautiful places on Mahé.

Fantastic sandy beaches, bright sunshine, happy people – that’s how Europeans imagine the Seychelles. And that’s exactly how it is. The island paradise in the Indian Ocean has much to offer that is good for stressed holidaymakers. The beautiful landscapes, the abundance of plants and the crystal-clear sea are perfect for spending a relaxing holiday. And to make the most wonderful time of the year an all-round success, it is best to let a real professional show you around the Seychelles – preferably on a guided as well as private tour.

Sheena Jean, a native Seychelloise, has made it her mission to show holidaymakers the beauty of her homeland, and only on the main island of Mahé, which she specialises in. “You only get to see all the insider tips on a private tour with a licensed tour guide,” Sheena Jean knows. She not only has all the necessary licences and certificates, but is also currently the only woman to offer licensed tours in the Seychelles. And because nowadays the health of the guests is very important, Sheena Jean makes sure that only registered guests are present. Strangers or unregistered third parties in overcrowded buses do not exist with the responsible entrepreneur.

Special tours for a fantastic holiday experience

Sheena Jean’s tours are something very special, her guests agree, as many enthusiastic reviews on Google or TripAdvisor prove. “I don’t just offer simple island tours on Mahé, but also hikes and walks to extraordinary places on Mahé.”

The tours are mainly in English, although French is equally feasible and basic German skills are available thanks to a 3-month language training course through Inlingua in Germany.

It happens again and again in the Seychelles that taxi companies offer tours for holiday guests although they are neither qualified nor licensed tour guides. The owner of Island Tour Seychelles is often surprised: “I can only advise against getting involved in such an unprofessional tour,” says Sheena Jean. “What might look like a good deal at first glance is actually not worth the money. Only the certified tour guides are a guarantee that you get to know the real highlights of the islands, get the right information and are on safe paths.”

To make sure their guests feel well taken care of, Island Tours Seychelles is certified by the Seychelles Tourist Board, licensed by the Seychelles government and, of course, has liability insurance for emergencies. And it goes without saying that Sheena Jean, as an experienced tour guide, always takes up-to-date first-aid courses.

The right island tour for every taste with the only female tour guide

The beauties of Mahé cannot be ticked off in a single tour. The island has far too much to offer. The individual tour offers are therefore sensibly coordinated and offer just the right thing for all tastes.

How about a Rockpool tour, for example? To visit it is only possible with a guided tour, because the Rockpool is also difficult to find. The hike through the unique landscape is easy to do and offers an unforgettable experience.

Those interested in the culture of the Seychelles are well advised to take a guided tour of Victoria. As one of the smallest capitals in the world, it has interesting architecture to offer in addition to museums, markets, the Clocktower and Botanical Gardens.

Unique is the buggy tour for 2 adults, it is only available once in the Seychelles. “I am particularly proud of this,” says Sheena Jean. “The tour is accompanied by François, who is equally able to accommodate special requests on this day tour and show guests exactly what they want.”

The Soul Flower Tour is combined with a workshop to learn the ancient craft of sun printing. Participants create their own pareo, which they can then keep as a souvenir of the Seychelles. The beach tour takes those interested to the most beautiful beaches of Mahé, e.g. the Petit Anse at the Four Seasons Hotel, and invites them to swim, snorkel or relax.

And for those who want to get a big overview, the island tour is the right thing to do. Gorgeous viewpoints, an exciting spice garden, the Sauzier waterfall, Anse Intendance beach, markets or a tasting at the Takamaka Rum Distillery are just a few of the many points to see.

“My tours can be planned individually,” Sheena Jean emphasises. “Whether it’s nature or culture, leisure fun with cocktails on the beach or hikes through the unspoilt countryside – my guests can choose from a wide range of options what they enjoy most.”

More information for an unforgettable holiday experience is available on the website.

Hikes & Walks in the Seychelles



Our tours for hiking in the Seychelles

We do and offer private, guided adventure hikes & walks in the Seychelles. Specially on Mahé.
If you want a guided hike in the Seychelles that is not too strenuous, but still worth seeing, challenging for the eye and the mind, we are very happy to assist you.We offer private tours to these well-known Seychelles bucket list hikes:
  • Anse Major Walk (2 hours)
  • Rock Pool Tour (1,5 hours)
  • Copolia Trail (2 hours)
  • Morne Blanc Hike (2-3 hours)
  • Ros Lepa Walk (2-3 hours)
  • Anse Capucins Tour (3-5 hours)
  • Case Dent Trail (3-5 hours)
  • Salazie Trail & Rosebelle Trail
  • La Reserve Trail
  • Mont Sebert Tour (3-5 hours)
  • Mare aux Cochons Trail (4-6 hours)
  • Les Trois Frères Hike (3-4 hours)
  • Gorilla Hike Tour (2-3 hours)
  • Dans Gallas Trail (2-3 hours)
  • Mont Signal Walk (30 min)

Our Hikes & Walks usually last 1-6 hours, as more should not be recommended, given the unfamiliar climate for tourists and holidaymakers.

When we hike with our clients there is and we like to take a lot of time for conversation, information about the Seychelles. Also we show many things that nature has to offer in the Seychelles. There are so many endemic plants and animals, you will be positively surprised.

Our walks are also all safe, because there are no dangerous animals and small climbs can be done without any problems and without any ropes.

Hikes & Walks also for Childs from 5 years

Even children from 5 years old will love Seychelles hiking, because there is a lot to discover.

Many hikes take place in the shade, so it is pleasant to walk through the cinnamon forests, enjoying the silence, the smells, the sights and so much more.

You should just make sure you have sturdy footwear and something to drink. Thats all what you need. For all other things we have a look.

We do not recommend to do the tours on your own, even if you can and you may even bring a lot of experience with you. You will surely miss one or the other sight, or overlook many little things.

Please do hikes always with a tourguide in the Seychelles

Also for safety reasons it is advisable to take a guided tour. The Seychelles jungles, the climate and the sometimes complicated paths, can make the tours difficult without a tourguide. The guide will also know what to do in case of an emergency, has all the necessary phone numbers and is trained.

We have first aid courses, insurance and a first aid kit for minor injuries. You are safe on the tours with us.
