Say yes! To Seychelles

Pristine beaches meet unspoiled forests, and unique natural treasures range from the tiny Tiger Chameleon to giant Aldabra tortoises and the Coco de Mer nut found nowhere else on Earth.

Travelling to Seychelles will always remain secretive. And that adds to the whole exclusive feel of this exotic island. Enjoy the sparkling white beaches, the coves, the boulders – and of course there are lots of suntans, sunsets and salty air. There’s something magical about the boulder-dotted coastlines of the Seychelles Islands. And that’s why they call it  “paradise on earth,” and you’ll feel it as soon as you arrive.

Located off the east coast of Kenya, Seychelles is made up of 115 coral and granite islands—most have protected areas of marine sanctuaries and UNESCO-listed nature reserves, and are home to endemic species like the giant Aldabra tortoises and the rare Coco de Mer palm. You can spend your days relaxing on the picture-perfect beaches, hiking through the lush jungles, or diving and exploring the island’s underwater kaleidoscope.

With year-round sunshine, there isn’t really a wrong time to visit the Seychelles Islands.

For the best weather, you’ll want to visit April through May and October through November. A trip during these months means you’ll experience mild conditions perfect for sunbathing, wildlife watching, scuba diving and other water activities.

During the summer (November to April), you’ll experience plenty of tourists. If you’re planning a summertime visit, you’ll want to book your accommodations at least several months in advance and you should expect to pay peak-season prices.

Language: English and Seselwa are the official languages in Seychelles.

Currency: The main currency used is the Seychelles rupees (SCR) which is almost like for like t the South African Rand. But most establishments in Seychelles accept Euros or US dollars.

Credit Cards: Many tourist spots prefer Dollars and Euros, so keep some of your own cash and exchange some for Seychelles rupees. Depending on your bank, you’ll likely get the best rate by withdrawing rupees from an ATM.

Getting Around: The best way to get around Seychelles all depends on where you are staying. There is an affordable bus service on Mahé and Praslin. If you’re planning on island hopping, you can use reliable ferry services.

Voltage: The plugs in Seychelles are type G. The standard voltage is 240 V, and the standard frequency is 50Hz. We recommend buying a universal adapter (make sure it has surge protection).

Water: Tap water in Seychelles is safe to drink, but it’s pretty heavy on chlorine, so many people opt to drink bottled water. If you are there during the summer, you might also find that the water gets turned off for a few hours a day to conserve the resource.
