The islands are home to unique wildlife found nowhere else on Earth, including giant tortoises, rare birds, and the legendary Coco de Mer palm. Seychelles combines natural beauty with luxury, making it a premier destination for honeymooners and nature lovers alike.
Marine Wonderland
The crystal-clear waters surrounding Seychelles teem with marine life, making it a world-class destination for snorkeling and diving. Explore vibrant coral reefs, swim with sea turtles, and discover colorful tropical fish in protected marine parks.

What to Expect
Best Time to Visit
April-May and October-November offer the best weather with calm seas, perfect for diving and snorkeling. December-March is warmer and more humid with occasional rain. June-September brings cooler, windier conditions ideal for sailing. Water temperature remains warm year-round (26-29°C). Seychelles is a year-round destination with each season offering unique advantages.
Getting Around
Car rental is recommended for exploring Mahé and Praslin independently. Taxis are available but expensive. Bicycles are popular on La Digue where cars are limited. Inter-island travel is by ferry or small aircraft. Ferries between Mahé, Praslin, and La Digue run regularly. Book ferry tickets in advance during peak season. Driving is on the left side of the road.
Language & Culture
Seychellois Creole, English, and French are official languages. English is widely spoken in tourist areas. The culture is a unique blend of African, French, Indian, and Chinese influences. Seychellois people are known for their warm hospitality and relaxed island lifestyle. Respect local customs and dress modestly away from beaches. The pace of life is slow - embrace "island time."
Currency & Costs
The currency is the Seychellois Rupee (SCR). Euros and US dollars are widely accepted. Credit cards work in most hotels and restaurants. ATMs are available on main islands. Seychelles is expensive compared to other destinations - budget accordingly. Tipping is appreciated but not mandatory - 10% is standard. Bring cash for small purchases and local markets.
What to Pack
Light, breathable clothing and plenty of swimwear. Reef-safe sunscreen is essential - regular sunscreen damages coral reefs. Water shoes for rocky beaches. Snorkeling gear if you have your own. Light rain jacket for occasional showers. Insect repellent for evenings. Comfortable walking shoes for hiking. Camera with waterproof case. UK-style three-pin plug adapter.
Safety & Health
Seychelles is very safe with minimal crime. Tap water is safe to drink on main islands. No vaccinations required but ensure routine vaccinations are current. Be cautious of strong currents when swimming - follow local advice. The sun is intense - use high SPF sunscreen and reapply frequently. Healthcare is good with hospitals on Mahé and Praslin. Comprehensive travel insurance is essential.
