Francois picks you up in a buggy or an SUV, depending on what you have booked and what the road requires, and the day begins. Francois has been running tours on Mahé for over twenty years. He grew up here. He speaks German, French, English and Creole. He knows every road, every turn-off, every viewpoint. The reviews mention him by name because the tour is, in a real way, him.
The route is the standard Mahé loop, with stops at Beau Vallon, the Sans Soucis road, the south-west coast, the typical viewpoints. The difference is the vehicle. A buggy gives you the wind and the sun and the sound. An SUV gives you the comfort. Either way, you stop where you want, you stay as long as you want, and Francois knows where the good lunches are.
If Sheena is the local legend of the standard tour, Francois is the local legend of the open-air tour. The buggy is the way to see Mahé if you want to feel the island, not just photograph it.
| Best for | Couples, friends, anyone who likes the idea of an open-air day. The SUV option works for families with younger children. Not for very large groups, the vehicles seat four. |
|---|---|
| What to bring | Bring sunscreen, hat, water, swimsuit, a light layer. The buggy gets dusty on the unsurfaced roads. The operator provides the vehicle, the guide, and pick-up and drop-off at your hotel. Lunch is not included. |
89% of travellers who booked this gave it a five-star rating, and another 3% gave four. You can read every individual review on the Viator booking page.
