One hundred and fifteen islands basking in the Indian Ocean, the Seychelles are paradise. The sun beats down – temperatures range between 24 and 32 degrees – the beaches are icing-sugar soft and the waters are turquoise, clear and teeming with marine life.
Of the 115 islands, Mahé, Praslin and La Digue are the main islands, the ones most travellers booking cheap flights to the Seychelles visit. Other islands with accommodation include Bird Island, Cerf, Chauve Souris, Cousine, Denis Island, Silhouette and Ste. Anne.
The islands without accommodation, which include Anonyme, Aride, Conception and Moyenne, are popular for day trips, snorkelling, diving and wild-life watching.
The Seychelles boast the Vallée de Mai on Praslin, once thought to be the Garden of Eden, where the suggestively shaped Coco-de-mer nut grows, and Aldabra, the world’s largest raised coral atoll, home to the world’s largest population of giant tortoises.
Seychelles climate
The Seychelles has a tropical climate with temperatures ranging from 24 to 29 C, and high humidity. Seasons are fairly constant except for the monsoon months. The southeast monsoon season lasts from May to September and brings cooler temperatures while the northwest monsoon spans October and March.
When to fly to Seychelles
The Seychelles is a four-season destination without a clearly defined “high” or “low” season.
The school holidays – June/July to August – and autumn/winter months – September to January – are popular times on the islands.
Between the trade winds, April and October are great months for swimming, diving and snorkelling. Water temperatures can reach up to 30 degrees and visibility is about 30 metres. The Festival Kreol (week-long celebrations of Creole traditions) is held in March and October.
Other festivals include the Seychelles Sailing Cup in January and the International Fishing Competition in March.
The best times to seek cheap flights to the Seychelles for bird-watching are April (the breeding season), May to September (when the Sooty Terns nest) and October (for migration). Fishing is good from October to April.
Getting around Seychelles
The Seychelles are composed of 115 islands, but there are nine principal islands, including Mahe (capital is Victoria), Praslin and La Digue. From Mahe, there are domestic Seychelles flights to all the other islands. Air Seychelles flies from Mahe to Praslin more than 20 times per day. There are also flights to La Digue. Other inter-island flights service Bird Island, Denis Island, Desroches Island and Alphonse Island.
There is a helicopter service between Mahe and Silhouette, Fregate and North Island.
Cat Coco links Mahe with Praslin by catamaran twice a day. Crossings take an hour. Inter-Island Ferries runs frequent boat services between Praslin and La Digue. La Belle Seraphina, a schooner, sails between Mahe and La Digue.
The Seychelles Public Transport Corporation runs a bus service on Mahe and Praslin. Services start at about 6am and end at 7pm, although there are some night services.
Car rental is possible on Mahe and Praslin. The major car-rental companies include Hertz and Sixt Rent A Car and there are local companies here too. Drive on the left! There are bus services, but these can be infrequent. Bicycles or ox-taxi are ways of getting around La Digue. The smaller islands can be explored on foot.
