Victoria Botanical Gardens

Victoria Botanical Gardens on Mahé offers peaceful nature walks among exotic plants, towering trees, and notable Coco de Mer palms. Visitors consistently praise the chance to see and feed Aldabra giant tortoises in a well-kept enclosure, with 29 friendly tortoises including a 98-year-old resident. Benches and clean restrooms are available, though plant signage is limited and some areas could be better maintained. Entry is by paid admission.
