The Vallée de Mai is a small patch of jungle on Praslin island, endemic home to the famous, and famously suggestive Coco de Mer, and a colourful array of tropical birds, including the Black Parrot, and other plants. There's an entry feel into the actual park, 15EURs or there abouts, and you can pay extra for a guided tour, which still follows the three kilometre trail, but you just get more information as you go around than is on the information boards up along the route.
