Eight key steps to prepare your Seychelles holiday without forgetting anything.
Decide on the length of your stay in the Seychelles according to your travel goals, budget and vacation time.
Start by reading our guide, which provides all the essential information.
Book with Emirates / Etihad / Qatar / Ethiopian for often more competitive fares with a stopover. You can also book a direct flight with Edelweiss, Discover Airlines or Condor.
Book at least 6 months in advance to get the best prices.
Divide your nights between different islands to experience the full beauty of the Seychelles—each island is unique. For a 12–14 day trip, here is the recommended split:
Mix and match: local guesthouses for authenticity and a beautiful beachfront hotel for comfort. Carefully check the location in relation to beaches, activities you want to visit, excursions and prevailing winds.
🏝️ Where to stay depending on the season? 🛌 Choosing your accommodationBook your Cat Cocos ferry tickets or domestic flights online.
If your budget allows, take a small plane (Air Seychelles) or helicopter (Zilair) between Mahé and Praslin for breathtaking aerial views.
Almost essential on Mahé and Praslin (taxis are expensive and buses impractical). Book as soon as your dates and accommodation are confirmed, as the vehicle fleet is limited. On La Digue, everything is done by bicycle.
🚗 Guide: Getting around on the islandsIdentify must-do trips (Curieuse, Cousin, Saint-Pierre) and those that suit your interests (Creole cooking classes, diving, etc.). Keep some flexibility for weather conditions.
🏄 Guide: Must-do activitiesIf you plan specific hikes (such as Anse Marron on La Digue, treks or island visits), contact a licensed local guide a few weeks in advance to secure your date.
🏄 Guide: Recommended local guidesThanks to your tailored planning and preparation, slow down and embrace the relaxed “Seychellois” rhythm.
