Question 2

Is Mahe walkable?

Accepted Answer

Victoria, Mahé’s capital, is walkable for the Clocktower, Sir Selwyn Selwyn-Clarke Market and the Hindu temple; the Botanical Gardens are a longer uphill walk. Across the island, beaches and viewpoints are far apart and not practical to reach on foot.

SPTC buses circle the island to Beau Vallon, Anse Royale and other bays, though rides can be slow and crowded. Taxis are easy to find. For comfort and to link several beaches and lookouts in a day, think about a private tour in Mahé with private transportation.
