A humid morning opens over Mahé as the coast slides into view—rocky granite headlands, a smudge of coconut palms, and a road that climbs toward a viewpoint where the island’s west coast spills into blue. On a private full‑day tour, the pace is yours: a short rainforest walk to a waterfall, a stop at a spice garden, rum tasting under a colonial veranda, and time to sink into the sand at a protected bay.
