3-Hour Copolia Trail Hiking Tour

What you will expect

FULL DESCRIPTION
Explore the natural beauty of Mahé like never before with our Copolia Trail Hiking Tour, located just 6 km from Victoria. This trail offers an exciting adventure through lush forests, picturesque canyons, and stunning mountain landscapes. As you journey along the trail, you’ll be immersed in Seychelles' tropical beauty, with breathtaking views around every corner.

The Copolia Trail is considered moderate in difficulty, making it an excellent option for those seeking a rewarding hike without being overly strenuous. As you ascend into the higher parts of Mahé, the climate becomes more pleasant, providing a refreshing relief from the island's warmth and humidity. The trail starts at Sans Soucis Road, marked by an official sign. While it includes uphill climbs and occasional steep sections, the hike is manageable for those in good physical condition. The final reward at the summit is worth every step—a narrow metal ladder will lead you to a vast granite plateau with awe-inspiring panoramic views of Mahé’s surrounding peaks, including Trois Frères, Morne Seychellois, and Morne Blanc.

As you explore the plateau, you’ll have the chance to discover intriguing endemic plant species, including the pitcher plant, thriving at altitudes over 350 meters. Safety is a priority, and we recommend this hike for individuals in peak physical condition with no health restrictions. Wear closed-toe shoes, and exercise caution on rainy days when the path and rocks can become slippery. Book your Copolia Trail Hiking Tour today for an unforgettable adventure amidst the stunning natural wonders of Mahé!
