Hike· Silhouette· Seychelles
Mont Dauban Trail
4° 29.2′ S · 55° 13.7′ E · approximate
A guided climb through cloud forest to Mont Dauban (751 m), the highest point on Silhouette and second highest in Seychelles, past pitcher plants and endemic palms to views back to Mahé when the cloud lifts.
Practical
Pin approx: summit placed near the island centre (no published summit coordinate found). Height 751 m per Wikipedia (older guides say 740 m). Seyvillas: the hike must be done with a guide; the peak is often in cloud, so the Mahé view is not guaranteed. Start early from La Passe; book a guide through NIVA Labriz or the Island Conservation Society team. No published duration found; allow a full day.
