Seychelles offers tropical beaches, nature reserves, and islands with distinct characters. A great vacation starts with deciding whether to stay on Mahé or to include Praslin and La Digue in your itinerary.
Mahé, Praslin, or La Digue?
Mahé is the largest island and the main gateway, offering a variety of accommodations and beaches. Praslin is more tranquil, known for its reserves and beaches. La Digue is small, ideal for cycling and enjoying a peaceful atmosphere.
How to Travel Between the Islands?
Ferries and domestic flights connect the main islands. The sea can be choppy, so those prone to seasickness should prepare accordingly. Avoid scheduling tight connections before an international flight.
When is the Best Time to Visit?
The climate is tropical and warm year-round. Wind, rain, and sea conditions vary between seasons and different sides of the islands. For diving and snorkeling, check local conditions close to your visit.
What to Book in Advance?
Accommodation, inter-island transfers, and car rentals on Mahé or Praslin should be arranged in advance during peak season. On La Digue, many use bicycles, but check suitability for children and weather conditions.
Preserving Nature
Follow reserve rules, do not touch wildlife, and refrain from taking sand or shells. Official information is available on the Tourism Seychelles website.
