It was found that several seeds of this big fruit would wash ashore at India or Maldives, where no one knew what it was. As a result, when the trees for this plant were first discovered in Seychelles, people believed the island would be the Garden of Eden and Coco De Mer to be the forbidden fruit of knowledge.<\/p>\n<p>However, keeping all the stories and myths aside, Coco De Mer is indeed an extraordinary plant because of its shape and pollination process. The male trees of this species have fruits in the shape of phallic while the female trees bear the fruits in the shape of a buttock. Due to these plants\u2019 uniqueness, the Seychelles government has banned the eating and export of these fruits.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Coco-De-Mer.jpg\" alt=\"Things Seychelles is famous for\" class=\"wp-image-20033\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Coco-De-Mer.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Coco-De-Mer-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Coco-De-Mer-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Coco-De-Mer.jpg\" alt=\"Things Seychelles is famous for\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-20033\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Coco-De-Mer.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Coco-De-Mer-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Coco-De-Mer-768x576.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption>Coco De Mer<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Giant_Aldabra_Tortoise\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Giant_Aldabra_Tortoise\"><\/span>Giant Aldabra Tortoise<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Apart from the unique fruit, Seychelles is also the home to the Giant Aldabra Tortoises.

Aldabra Toll has been a world heritage site since 1982 as it is a raised coral atoll and is an important natural habitat for learning about the evolutionary processes. Moreover, since this is a remote site, it is untouched by humans and retains its natural beauty to this day.<\/p>\n<p>Vall\u00e9e De Mai, on the other hand, is accessible on Praslin but stays unchanged since prehistoric times. Here, you will find many endemic plants and fauna species, which is why it was considered a world heritage site in 1983.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"769\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/seychelles-view.jpg\" alt=\"Interesting things about Seychelles\" class=\"wp-image-20038\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/seychelles-view.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/seychelles-view-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/seychelles-view-768x577.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"769\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/seychelles-view.jpg\" alt=\"Interesting things about Seychelles\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-20038\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/seychelles-view.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/seychelles-view-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/seychelles-view-768x577.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption>Seychelles jungle<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Seychelles_Black_Parrot\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Seychelles_Black_Parrot\"><\/span>Seychelles Black Parrot<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Seychelles\u2019 Black Parrot is the national bird since this rare species cannot be seen anywhere in the world except for Seychelles.

This rum is distilled, aged, and blended in Seychelles, and the distillery was started in 2002. What is interesting to know is that rum was introduced in Seychelles in the 16<sup>th<\/sup> century by the British Navy. However, the locals started using sugar cane to make rum only from the late 1800s.<\/p>\n<p>The sugar cane juice is fermented and distilled, and after it has aged and matured, it is blended with aged rums, fruit extracts, local spices, and the spring water from Seychelles\u2019 island.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Island_Hopping\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Island_Hopping\"><\/span>Island Hopping<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>With around 115 islands in Seychelles, it is natural that Seychelles is quite popular for island hopping tours. People visit different islands here either on a day trip or for a stay, depending on the budget and time they have. And there are several that even enjoy a 1-month cruise around Seychelles to make the most of the visit here.<\/p>\n<p>From enjoying the beautiful topography of Silhouette Island to watching endemic birds on Bird Island, visitors spend sufficient time island hopping in Seychelles to take in everything that this nation has to offer.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/clock-tower-mahe.jpg\" alt=\"famous things of Seychelles\" class=\"wp-image-20040\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/clock-tower-mahe.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/clock-tower-mahe-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/clock-tower-mahe-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/clock-tower-mahe.jpg\" alt=\"famous things of Seychelles\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-20040\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/clock-tower-mahe.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/clock-tower-mahe-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/clock-tower-mahe-768x576.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption>Clock tower Mahe<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Luxury_Hotels_and_island_resorts\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Luxury_Hotels_and_island_resorts\"><\/span>Luxury Hotels and island resorts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Seychelles is a luxury honeymoon destination, so it is often associated with luxury and classy resorts and hotels.
