Morne Blanc nature trail hike on Mahé — Nature & wildlife things to do in Victoria

A 1.2 km trek from the Tea Plantation to the Morne Blanc viewpoint, featuring diverse flora and endemic birdwatching, with panoramic views upon reaching the summit.

This 1.2-kilometre hike starts at the Tea Tavern near the Tea Plantation in Sans Soucis and leads you through the Morne Seychellois National Park. The trail takes you through a cinnamon forest where you'll see local plant species like the parasol and marron Vacoa trees, plus exotic fruit trees like jackfruit and jamalac, depending on the season. As you ascend, moss-covered rocks and fern-filled forest floor offer a rich habitat for endemic birds, including the Seychelles Bulbul and Sunbirds.

With a moderate to high intensity and an elevation gain of 667 metres, the hike takes about 1 hour and 30 minutes each way. The trek concludes at a viewing platform, rewarding you with sweeping vistas of southern and western Mahé. Wear sturdy footwear and carry water to stay hydrated.
