Jardin Marron Tour - Coco-de-Mer & Nature This very interesting trail was initially trodden by slaves fleeing La Passe village in th e ni neteenth ce ntury. It involves a fairly strenuous uphill hik e up to aroun d 450 m altitude and will take you into the centre of the island and to the only location where Silhouette’s own collection of Coco-de-Mer trees can be seen. This charismatic palm tree is famous for producing the largest and heaviest seeds in the plant kingdom, which can weigh up to 18kg. Along the way, numerous endemic plants, birds, insects, and reptiles can be spotted, including the giant millipede, Seychelles Bulbul, and skink. Jardin Ma rron is also a bio-diversity hotspot for a number of very rare reptiles and amphibians. If you’re lucky, you may see the tiger chameleon, the bronze tree gecko, and/or Seychellophryne gardineri - one of the smallest frogs in the world, as well as members of the caecilians: a little-known group of burrowing amphibians that look similar to earthworms. After spending some time to take photos, relax, and look for lush fauna, it typically takes around one hour to descend back to La Passe village. Grand Barbe Tour - Tortoises & Beach Embark on a challeng ing hike across the island to the stunn ing Gran d Barbe plateau, where you can see wild giant tortoises, explore one of the largest mangrove forests in the country, and relax on a 1 km-long stretch of white sand. Hikers will experience a range of different terrains, including a 20-minute descent along large slabs of rock. Some 60 residents once resided in Grand Ba rbe village, but today only three remain, and adventurers can explore some of th e dilapidate d buildings. During the peak hawksbill turtle nesting season (November - February) the sight of turtle tracks along the beach is virtually guaranteed, and there is a good chance of observing nesting females, especially around high tide. The hike typically takes close to three hours in each direction, with a few hours spent in between at Grand Barbe to explore or recuperate.

Coastal Trolling Fishing Enjoy a fun and active morning by trolling fishing around Silhouette Island. Trolling is a method of fishing where one or more fishing lines, baited with lures or bait fish, are drawn through the water. We provide all necessary equipment; all you need to do is catch the fish. Your “catch” of the day can be prepared for dinner as in-room dining or private Barbecue (extra charges apply). Local Fishing Embrace the Creole spirit by fishing the traditional Seychellois way: the bottom fishing. With a weight tied to the end of a hand line, and a hook about a few centimeters up line you can catch different sorts of fishes. It’s a very entertaining way of fishing and can also easily be done by children. Your “catch” of the day can be prepared for dinner as in-room dining or private Barbecue (extra charges apply).
