The driest and most comfortable months for hiking are May to October (cooler, less rainfall). Short periods of rain can occur year-round, with heavier rains more likely November to March.

Tropical climate: warm and humid at low elevations, becoming cooler and often misty or windy near the summit. Expect sudden showers and variable trail conditions after rain.

Located on Mahé island. Nearest major airport is Seychelles International Airport (SEZ) on Mahé. The park is roughly 30–45 minutes by car from the airport and about 15–30 minutes from Victoria, depending on route and traffic. Trailheads are reached via paved and secondary roads; some routes require a short drive on narrow mountain roads. A vehicle or guided transfer is recommended; some trails are moderate to steep and not suitable for wheelchairs.

Allow 3–5 hours for a return hike to the summit and time at viewpoints. Visitors short on time can plan a half-day visit to enjoy nearby lookouts. Combine with a full day exploring Mahé for beaches and Victoria.

Wear sturdy hiking shoes, bring a lightweight rain jacket, sun protection (hat, sunscreen), insect repellent, at least 1–2 liters of water, snacks, and a small first-aid kit. Trek poles can help on steeper sections. Start early to avoid midday heat and afternoon showers.

After your hike, enjoy Seychellois Creole cuisine in local restaurants — grilled fish, fish curry, and coconut-based dishes. Popular souvenirs include local spices, vanilla, coconut products, handcrafted woodwork and Seychellois art.
