Getting There

There are direct flights to the Seychelles from London, Africa and Mauritius and there are connections from Australia via Singapore. Passengers from elsewhere on the Continent fly direct when they take holiday packages. Although there are no direct passenger services, many cruises do pass through Victoria. Check with your travel agent for the best possible connections.

There is a tax of $20.00 for all departures from the Seychelles.

Getting around the Seychelles Islands

There are regular ferry services between Mahe, Praslin and La Digue. Boats can be chartered to the other islands.

Cars can be hired on Mahe and Praslin. Taxis are available on Praslin, Mahe and La Digue, but as drivers rarely turn on the meter, you have to be prepared to negotiate. There is a regular and convenient bus service on Mahe and a limited one on Praslin. Bicycles on hire are aplenty on La Digue. On Praslin they are available but not so common. Mahe being hilly is not suitable for cycling.
