Morne Seychellois National Park
The largest national park in the Seychelles, Morne Seychellois
National Park takes up over 20 percent of the area of Mahé. The
park is made up of a number of habitats and ecosystems ranging from
coastal mangrove forests to misty mountain peaks, and contains no
settlements (although you can find the ruins of old cinnamon
distilleries). Dominating the landscape is Morne Seychellois, the
highest peak on the island at 2,970 feet (905m). Morne Seychellois
National Park has a network of 12 well-marked hiking trails
covering more than 9.3 miles (15km). Maps and other information are
available in Victoria.

Money
The Seychelles currency is the Rupee (SCR), divided into 100
cents. The country's foreign exchange regulations require visitors
to pay for all services provided by hotels, guesthouses and
self-catering enterprises, as well as things like car hire,
entrance fees to parks and reserves, scuba diving and boat charter,
in major foreign currency notes (Euros are the most widely used) or
by credit card. Taxis and restaurant bills (not connected to
hotels) are payable in foreign or Seychelles Rupees. Rupees can
only be used in local shops, markets, and bars. Credit cards are
widely welcomed throughout the Seychelles. Money can be exchanged
at banks and the airport on Mahé, or at hotels, and banks process
travellers cheques. To change Rupees back into foreign currency on
departure requires the official receipt from the initial
transaction. ATMs are available at major banks on Mahé, Praslin and
La Digue.
