    It’s expensive, definitely not worth it unless you’ve never seen palm trees 🌴 The whole park is just palm trees 🤷‍♀️ Absolutely couldn’t see any wildlife in there except some lizard🙁 National Parks are supposed to be better maintained and have more to do than just see palm trees. Do not get a tour guide cause it’s just overrated in my opinion. You can do better things can visit this

    Interesting place. Huge palms, palm leaves, a real jungle. In the world, you can only see these special cocons. Hard tour. Approx. 2 hours with level differences, sometimes with 40-50 cm stairs, uphill. If you're not in workout, you're tired, but it's worth checking out. A nice little cafe waits after the tour, with real local cakes and coffee.

    It is ok, quite crowded, quite a few paths, if you are lucky you will see some wildlife. However Fond Ferdinand is much better place to visit and significantly cheaper.

    450 Rupiees per person?!! It's just rude. 3 months ago it was 350..the price is constantly rising..for the same forest which is basically just palm trees. When the price is so high you don't take a guide, which is additionally 150 Rupiees p.P. what is in the end sad for the guides.

    Vallée de Mai Great place to see the Coco de mer palm. It's also a birding Hotspot. Take the longer trail, only 2 km and easy going. It's worth it. If you are lucky, you might catch a free guided tour. There is a entrance fee for the National Park

    Nice natural park where one can see the Coco de Mer as well as a jackfruit and other plants and animals. A local guide costs extra fees, but is normally not necessary. Duration bettwen 1-2 hours. Take good shoes with you.

    Beautiful, lush forest conserved in its natural state with paths to explore the typical flora and fauna. An entrance fee is applicable, 350 rupies per person above the age of 12. But with this fee the conservatory work and park management is supported. We spent there 3 hours, which was enough to take part in a guided tour and wander in the forest with the view point "shelter". After raining the paths might be slippery, but manageable even in flip flops. The souvenir shop offer several products from coconut, worth a visit. All in all, highly recommended, of course.

    Fantastic park! Like a fairytale. We took the longest trail that was 2 km and it took us about 1,5 hours inclusive stops to take some pictures.

  • 3/5 Richard S. 4 years ago on Google
    Nice Park and impressive to see the coco fes. Entrance price is too high 350 SCR even if the money is used to fund other projects. The park looks not well maintained. Buying one of the coco fes is a rip off 5000 - 8000 SCR for it is too much. Anyhow when you on Praslin it's worth to visit.

    (Translated by Google) PRASLIN NATIONAL PARK it is the national park of praslin that going from one side to the other of the island you have to cross ... in it there is a lot of vegetation and it is the only place in the world where there is coco de mer, a species of totally protected coconut that is planted and it takes about 28/30 years to be. Coco de mer resembles a culete (Original) PRASLIN NATIONAL PARK es el parque nacional de praslin que yendo de un lado a otro de la isla hay que cruzar... en él hay muchísima vegetación y es el único lugar en el mundo donde existe el coco de mer , especie de coco totalmente protegida que se planta y tarda unos 28/30 años en estar.

    (Translated by Google) a paradise on earth where plants grow only in this place. especially it is the place to discover the famous coconut buttocks. It is the largest coconut in the world. It is banned for consumption life its rarity. The place is suitable for the family but unfortunately is not practical for disabled people because there is a lot of walking with lots of steps (Original) un paradis sur terre où sont cultivés des plantes qui ne poussent que dans cet endroit. notamment c’est le lieu pour découvrir la fameuse coco fesse . C’est la noix de coco la plus grande au monde . Elle est interdite à la consommation vie sa rareté. Le lieu convient à la famille mais malheureusement n’est pas pratique pour les handicapés moteurs car il y a beaucoup de marche avec beaucoup de marches

    The park is nice to visit, however the tour guide in my opinion overrated. Nice walk around in the nature overall.

  • 4/5 Giannis K. 7 years ago on Google
    Must visit to experience the seychellois nature. You'll see Coco de mer trees and if you are lucky the famous and exclusive to Seychelles black parrot. The tickets are a bit expensive though and when we visited credit cards were not being accepted.

    Price is too high. Trail to walk in nature. Scenric place. Can be easily reach by local bus, but the frequency is too low. Bus fair is very cheap.

    Endemic forest, it feels like time is stoping, nice coco de mer male and female, giant coco nuts. Fine overall.

  • 5/5 Bára �. 4 years ago on Google
    Simply amazing. Take your walk with a guide, otherwise you will dont not enský that to much. Some guide you will catch on the entrance, and cost approx. 10€/per person.

  • 4/5 Urban K. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) A lovely two hour walk in a jungle. We chose the longest walk (orange) which is 2 km long. We went counter-clockwise and started at 0840 on a Sunday. We were the first vehicle in the parking lot. It was nice that there were so few tourists for some of the walk is to listen and the other to watch. I recommend taking the shutter called shelter. It was there that we met two very curious and curious birds of the species Seychelles Bulbul. It was an uplifting meeting. It was the only bird species we saw and bee did not see any frog. However, we saw the famous palm tree Coco de Mer. (Original) En härlig två timmars promenad i en djungel. Vi valde den längsta promenaden (orange) som är 2 km lång. Vi gick motsols och startade klockan 0840 på en söndag. Vi var första fordonet på parkeringen. Det var skönt att det var så få turister för en del i promenaden är att lyssna och den andra att iaktta. Jag rekommenderar att man tar avstickaren som heter shelter. Det var där vi träffade på två mycket närgångna och nyfikna fåglar av arten Seychelles Bulbul. Det var ett upplyftande möte. Det var den enda fågelarter som vi såg och bi såg inte någon groda. Vi såg dock den berömda palmen Coco de Mer.

  • 1/5 Meltem D. 8 months ago on Google • 1 review
    First of all entrance fee is 450 rupee, it doesn’t worth at all, we paid cause we thought it ll be an experience but whole park is only about ‘palm trees’ which u can see freely every where around the island, if u wanna have a trail there is free trails around, in this park u won’t be able to see any wildlife or any kind of animals just some birds staff were a bit rude and not helpful when u ask stuff ; they told us parking is full even tho we saw some slots open, they made us park somewhere the park with a fee of 25 sr per hour, on top up entrance fee we had to pay parking also, this parking spot offers another trail right next to it with 100 sr including parking fee so maybe better and cheaper option specially if are a big group/family
