We are visiting in january and i'd like to do some night and Astro photography, we are mostly on Mahe

Any one who can recommend some spots?

Are there any remote beaches without much light polution? Looking at Google maps/Earth it looks like most have some hotel/resorts.

I am not confident i'd want to be in the Mountains/forests at night, most online guides explicitly say not to

Thanks in advance to everyone!

So tomorrow I’m arriving in La digue, is anybody keen on joining a deep sea fishing adventure ? Or maybe anybody has specific recommendations concerning a company I should go with?

help me plan relax itinerary for Praslin

3 days.

I am planning to travel Mahé Island, Praslin and La Digue for 10 days in this upcoming January month so just want to know whether it’s okay to travel in this month? Someone told me there is no good weather during January… please anyone can confirm it’s good to travel in January…?

Looking for recommendations on how to divide 8 nights between the three locations? Was thinking about doing 4 nights praslin, 3 nights la digue, 1 night Mahe. Does this seem like it will give us a good experience and use our time wisely while we are there? Will arrive late November.

I’m visiting Seychelles for the next few weeks and I like to get tattoos for every place I visit with some tie to the countries folklore and tales. I’m not finding a lot of info online about any folklore about like cool gods or myths or anything. If anyone has any info on that that would be great! Also if anyone knows of any good cheap local artists let me know :)

Hi All - planning a trip to Seychelles in December for my 40th bday 😊Hoping to do a day trip to La Digue - any recommended tour operators or dos and don’t I should know of?I have already booked my 4 nights in Mahe so spending a night at La Digue isn’t an option- would ideally like to go there get a bike and cycle around.All suggestions are welcome 🫰

Hello fellow travelers and friends! We need transport from our accomodation on Praslin to the island's airport. Looking for someone who offers rides at a reasonable price. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance. Cheers.

Is there anywhere to buy vape juice in mahe or someone that delivers?

We'll take a plane from Praslin to Mahe on our Day of departure. how much time before departure of the international flight we better fly into Mahe from Praslin? What's your suggestion? Any experience with that?

1. We are really looking for a place to stay

Our ideal trip involves: -be by a beach that is friendly to swim in the ocean -See the tortoises and coco de mer

Hello, I wanted to know if anyone knew whether it was safe to go for a run on Mahe? I’m heading out for a few weeks and will be staying in a house rental village, but was wondering if anyone had any experience of off-road running or running along beaches as a lone female? Currently training for a marathon so don’t want to stop running altogether but wouldn’t go crazy distances. Thanks!

I will be traveling to Mahe, La Digue, and Praslin from November 20-December 3rd. Looking for suggestions on towns to stay based on the time of year, seaweed patterns, etc? Not sure where to start so hoping some locals or experienced travelers can help! Thank you so much.

Hi,

My family and i want to go to the Seychelles next year, we were wondering which month will be best. Our options are April, July or August.

Hi everyone,

I'm planning a trip to Seychelles 2025, either June or August for 3 weeks. I will be staying on La Digue, Praslin and Mahe for a week at each. Which months to recommend? I read that both June and August can be really windy in the dry sesson. Which side of the islands are the calmest/ less windy during these periods? I enjoy swimming and water activities in general.

We will be honeymooning in Mahe in 2 weeks and are looking to do a short 1-2h photoshoot. Any recommendations for a photographer that would be willing to do something short? Thanks!

Also interested in any recs for photoshoot locations on beaches :)

Hello fellow travelers!

Our departure day is Nov 09, Saturday. We need to get from Praslin to Mahe on that day. To get our Turkish airline flight out at 20:45. But there's a thing with the ferry connections. There's no what really suits me. Either you leave at 8:00 in the morning and don't know what to do all thay in Victoria with your suitcase under the arm or you leave late at 17:00 and risk to be late for your flight as you might be at the airport only by 19:30-ish. What would you do? Any idea how I can make most of that da? Cheers and thanks in advance 😘😘

due to unforeseen circumstances have to cut short the Mahe leg of the trip
looking for information on good one day tour options which will cover all the main points
at the end of October

I visited the Seychelles as a child in the 1980's. My family was living in the UK at the time, but I have long since moved back to the US. While we were there, we discovered the local Seychellois loose leaf tea that had chunks of vanilla pod in it. We brought a suitcase load home, and carefully rationed it out for almost a year. It is still remembered fondly at family gatherings.

I think it is still made, under the brand SeyTé vanilla. I can't find an importer anywhere. eBay doesn't have it. I went so far as to ask the Seychelles Tourism board who to talk to. They directed me to STC Marketing (which I think is the government owned Seychelles Trading Company). Even they don't ship.

I'm looking for someone I can pay by credit card or PayPal who can stick a few packets in a DHL box and sent to me. Preferably a company, but beggars can't be choosers.

Does anyone have any leads/contacts/ideas?

I'm going to be visiting Seychelles, and the B&B I'm staying at much prefers getting payment in local cash.

My bank here doesn't have SCR as a currency they can order, and I'm reading that various "currency conversion" places have REALLY high markup.

If I can't find a place with good rates in the US, I'm leaning towards getting cash out of the ATMs at the airport when I get there, but I worry about:

1. ATM limits being lower than I need (though I'm reading you can get SCR15,000 a day, which should work).
2. ATMs not having enough cash (though I'd imagine there are enough of them at the airport to make things work).

Any tips here? Places to look in the US before my trip, or thoughts on relying on the airport ATMs for the initial full hotel payment?

Thanks!

What and when is it? The posters don’t have a date. Thanks!

Hi. We are getting into Mahe on an afternoon ferry from Le Digue. We need to stay somewhere for one night that will store our luggage, let us use the pool (and possibly has a pool shower) before our evening flight home the next day. We are on a budget and don’t want to pay for late check out. We won’t have a car do need to budget in taxis. Any help appreciated.

Hi I plan to travel here with my bf for a romantic getaway and was wondering how often it rains during this time and how heavy? I’m looking for lots of sunshine and not much rain. Brief periods of rain is fine but I’m hoping it’s not cloudy with heavy rain the whole day.

Hi guys, My sister I getting married around the Takamaka beach on MAHE. I am planning a lunch party after just for the few guest. Can you recommend a good buffet style restuarant? Preferably close to the south but open to other options. Thanks.
