Fond Ferdinand Nature Reserve

Fond Ferdinand is a nature reserve in the south-east of Praslin, managed by the Seychelles Islands Foundation (SIF), the body that also runs the Vallée de Mai. Like the Vallée de Mai, it protects coco de mer palms. SIF sells tickets online, including a combined ticket with the Vallée de Mai that is valid for 10 days.

SIF says it has revised the entrance fees to make self-guided visits easier, but we could not confirm the current fee, opening hours or tour times, so check sif.sc before you go. The ticket office is at the reserve entrance.
