Explore Copolia Trail

Summary: I highly recommend this hike. Ryan was excellent with communication and was able to pick me up at my self-catering location. There was rain in the area of the hike, so Ryan drove me past the trailhead to a wonderful viewpoint at the tea garden to allow the rain to pass. We then hiked the sometimes steep, moderately difficult trail with only some light drizzle which was no problem and worth the fantastic views at the summit. Ryan was very knowledgeable about the flora and birds. Overall it was an excellent tour.

Summary: We had the pleasure of joining the Explore Copolia Trail experience by Island Exploration Seychelles, and it was nothing short of majestic—thanks largely to our incredible guide, Ryan. From the moment he picked us up from our hotel in a comfortable and clean vehicle, it was clear we were in good hands. Ryan is not only an excellent driver, but also a fantastic storyteller. As we made our way to the trail, he shared rich insights into the island’s history and culture, which made the journey even more enjoyable. On the trail, Ryan was attentive and deeply knowledgeable about the local flora and fauna. He pointed out countless species of plants, insects, and small animals we would have easily missed on our own. His passion for the natural world was infectious, and we came away with a much deeper appreciation for the biodiversity of Seychelles. The hike itself was beautiful, culminating in a breathtaking viewpoint at the top of Copolia Trail. From there, Ryan helped us identify different parts of the island visible from the summit, adding context and meaning to the stunning view. Throughout the trip, Ryan was kind, patient, and thoughtful. He kept everything on schedule without ever making us feel rushed, and made sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves at every step. After the hike, he drove us safely back to our starting point, wrapping up a perfectly timed and memorable experience. We can’t recommend this experience—and Ryan—highly enough. If you’re visiting Seychelles and want to explore its natural beauty with a guide who truly cares, this is the trip to book.

Summary: Ryan was awesome! As a local Seychelois, he was very knowledgeable for everything that was about the island, the history, the trail we did. He showed us lots of different plats and trees. The trail was quite easy! A big part of it is under the shades of trees! We had such an awesome time with Ryan! Highly recommended to everyone !
