01 · 海岸景观
Vallée de Mai
Praslin 被联合国教科文组织列入名录的棕榈林保护着海椰子和本土野生动物。游览公园需要参加安排好的岸上观光。
请在你的确认行程中查看准入要求、活动强度及包含的项目。
花岗岩岛屿、森林步道和受保护的海岸
The destination is the experience
Seychelles 汇集了花岗岩岛屿、热带森林和低矮的珊瑚岛。小型游轮航线可以抵达海滩和自然保护区，而内岛和遥远的环礁则提供截然不同的探索方式与野生动植物体验。
穿越 Vallée de Mai 及其周边地区的旅程，让你更深入地领略这里的自然风光。你的游轮将各个沿海地点连接起来，而在导游带领的岸上观光中，你将发现那些在甲板上容易错过的细节。
你应选择行程中的实际停靠点，而不仅仅看目的地名称。包含 La Digue 的路线与以 Sainte Anne islands 为中心的路线相比，能带来不同的自然与文化体验。具体活动、许可证和徒步要求因航次而异。

Local conditions differ between coastlines and islands. The chart represents Victoria, Mahé, not every stop on a voyage. Cruise operation depends on the published itinerary, not the weather rating.
Air temperatures through the year
Average daily highAverage daily low
Temperatures in Victoria, Mahé barely change through the year: daytime highs stay close to 28°C in every month, and even the coolest month (August) averages around 26°C. Nights typically fall about 2°C below the daytime high, so evenings stay mild. Pack for consistent warmth rather than seasons.
