Morne Seychellois National Park

Morne Seychellois National Park covers about 3,045 ha of forested mountains, which the Seychelles Parks and Gardens Authority (SPGA) says is more than 20% of Mahé. Its highest point, Morne Seychellois, reaches 905 m.

SPGA lists several official trails. The Copolia trail is the most visited (Rs100, open 08:00–16:00). The Morne Blanc trail starts on the road above the west coast; we could not confirm its fee or hours. The climb to the Morne Seychellois summit must be done with a licensed guide, between 08:00 and 12:00, and costs Rs250. SPGA parks take card payments only, not cash, and sell tickets online. Mornings are usually clearer, and the trails are slippery after rain in the north-west monsoon.
