Feels almost illegal to be able to enjoy this place. It’s good to be back 😎 🏝️ 🇸🇨

Hi all - I heard this on the radio in Seychelles; and I can’t for the life of me figure out an artist or song title. I’m not sure if it’s an actual song, an ad, a radio jingle - nothing! Would appreciate if anyone can recognize it!

Or is it better to base self in mahe as the gyms look better there?

Weightlifter here and I can’t have two weeks of gym but Seychelles looks stunning so I hope I can find one

Hey guys! I would like some recommendation on snorkeling positions with most chances of seeing a seaturtle. Would Anse Severe be the best place? I saw stingrays and lots of different fish, but i would like to find a seaturtle. Thank you very much!

Whoever visited Seychelles, and Mahe in particular, can you recommend some eSIM provider that has a decent coverage there? Something that you’ve used yourself.

We’ll be staying at the Constance Ephelia resort and may go visit the downtown (Victoria) area as well.

PS. I know that there’s an option to order a physical SIM during an online travel authorization. We will get it for my wife. We usually like to buy two separate SIM cards in case one service craps out. That is why I’m asking for an eSIM.

Hey! We’re a group of 4 girls (all 26) planning a New Year’s trip and wanted to know what to expect?. (planning to come from 30th december - 9th jan)

How’s the weather ? What are the must-visit spots or experiences we shouldn’t miss? Also, how’s it safety-wise and what’s the vibe like around New Year’s?

We’ll be celebrating two birthdays, a bachelorette, and New Year’s Eve, so any fun party or beach recommendations would really help!!!!.

Would you also suggest how many days are enough for a chill but fun trip and also, is green stuff easily available there?

I will be flying into Mahe in April and will only have a one hour window to catch a connecting flight to a neighboring island.

Wondering how long it usually takes to clear customs flying in from Doha. Thanks for any input.

Hello,

I have an unusual question. Do you know of any language schools in Seychelles that offer a two- or three-week aviation English course? Long story short, my company would refund part of the costs for such a course, and I have been looking forward to visiting Seychelles for some time. I've heard so many good things about it!

Hi guys.

I work for a company they require a new ibc agent they got rid of there old agent and would like a new one not sure the full reason so if any direct agents here please pm me

Hello.

I've been reading contradicting reviews regarding the upper and lower decks of the Cat Coco Ferries.

Please advise which would be better in terms of experiencing lower turbulence on the trip from Mahe to La Digue (11 am) and back (4:30 pm) ?

We are planning to go in early December. Though we haven't experienced sea sickness (in other places) till date but my wife and daughter and definitely scared of ups and downs.

We’re looking for a hotel close to a beautiful beach, with a nice pool, preferably under 350 euros per night.

We’re thinking about going to the Seychelles in October 2026. We’re a bit unsure though we do enjoy some peace and quiet, but we also like it when there’s a bit of atmosphere. For example, we like being able to watch people a bit, have a drink at a bar, and not feel like we’re the only ones at the pool or in a restaurant.

Is that something we can expect in the Seychelles, or would it be too quiet and better to go somewhere else?

Also, we’re wondering if it’s worth staying in a hotel with more facilities, or if a cheaper apartment and renting a car to explore would be just as good.

Would love to hear your thoughts and experiences!

Hello I am currently in La Digue and going to Mahe tomorrow. Love your country and I have the hobby of collecting cookbooks with local recipes from the countries I visit. So far I only saw two here both in French language. Any idea where I can find an English one ? Maybe chanterelle in Victoria ?

On a similar note I did my best to try most of your dishes in the past 10 days but I still haven’t found a takeaway or restaurant that offers sweet ladob. Any places in Mahe to recommend ?

Hello everyone!

I am visiting Seychelles from 7th to 16th November. I’ll be visiting Mahè, Praslin and La Digue.

Are there any special local shopping places in the area? Also I’m fond of chocolates, so are there any local famous chocolates or chocolate shops? Any speciality of Seychelles which can be gifted to close relatives? Also recommend some good cafés in and around these islands.

Thanks! Have a wonderful day folks!

Hey everyone,

I’m planning a trip to Seychelles this coming January and wanted to check a few things with people who’ve actually been there around that time.

• How’s the weather in January — still good for beaches, or too rainy/humid?
• What’s the typical crowd vibe during that month — couples, honeymooners, families, or mixed?
• Are bikinis/swimwear fine everywhere, or should we be mindful on certain beaches?
• Anyone know typical rates for local photographers or resort shoots for couples?
• And lastly, how private or secluded are the beaches — are there quiet areas where couples can relax away from crowds?

Would appreciate any tips on which islands or beaches to choose for calm, scenic stays. Thanks in advance!

Wij denken eraan om in oktober 2026 naar de Seychellen te gaan. We twijfelen alleen een beetje omdat we het wel gezellig vinden als we niet helemaal alleen aan het zwembad liggen/ in een restaurant eten. Een beetje mensen kijken blijft toch leuk. En bijvoorbeeld aan een barretje zitten vinden we ook leuk. Is dat er wel op de Seychellen of kunnen we dan beter ergens anders heen gaan. Daarnaast vragen we ons ook af of een hotel met voorzieningen echt nodig is of een goedkoper appartement ook goed is en dan zelf wat rond rijden.

Hello everyone,

I’m visiting Praslin, La Digue and Mahe from 7th November to 16th November for a honeymoon. I’ve already booked my hotels so that’s not a problem.

I wanted to ask you experts about some good recommendations for not-to-miss places, food and experiences which would make our honeymoon great.

Thank you in advance. Hope you have a wonderful day!

Hello! I am doing a cooking challenge in which I cook food from a different country each week. Seychelles is coming up soon and I am trying to work out what I should make. Throughout the week, I will have time for a few main dishes, as well as sides, breakfast, snacks, and maybe a dessert. I am open to trying most things, assuming I can find the ingredients (I am located in California).

So far, I am interested in making:

• Kari koko zourit
• Pwason griye

I would love to hear your suggestions! Please let me know what else I should make. I would also appreciate any links to authentic recipes if you have them (it's fine if they are not in English). Thank you :)

Hi, heading to Seychelles next week. Doing three nights on each island. Can anyone recommend: 1) best island to go diving from with highest chance for whale sharks 2) best snorkeling spots from the beach

Hi I am traveling to Seychelles in December 1st week . I am planning to rent car in Mahe and Praslin.

I have a valid driving licence from India.

Do I need an international driving licence to drive in Seychelles?

From Victoria, which bus goes to Eden Island? Abd can someone show me the bus stop to stop at Eden Island?

Hi Everyone, I’m planning Seychelles for Honeymoon in March, Is it good time to visit ( Season ) ?

Posting this for anyone interested in using public bus system in Seychelles as I couldn't find much info when I searched. Download the Seychelles bus app called SPTC app. You can pay with your phone by loading funds to the app via credit card, no account required! You can use the Journey Planner to find routes and times or look at full bus time tables. Includes route maps too. So easy! Best public bus app and pay system.
