Seychelles Travel Advice For Exotic Island Vacations

By holidayhorizon

Article by Tom Fisher

Getting some sound Seychelles travel advice before getting on a plane is probably a good idea. It’s not just about etiquette, tipping, weather and things like that. This idyllic and beautiful archipelago of 115 islands in the Indian Ocean (northeast from Madagascar off the African continent) is very different from most other famous island vacation destinations.

The first and most important tip is that visitors can’t swoop in and start going around without confirmed hotel bookings. This virtually eliminates any thoughts about backpacking and finding accommodations as and when necessary. Another aspect that significantly affects itineraries here is that not all islands are inhabited, and even fewer have the necessary facilities for tourists and visitors.

Praslin, La Digue and Mahe are the three main islands that have everything visitors could possibly need, and then some. All the islands have absolutely stunning beaches and offer the thrill of marine exploration tours and activities. Most visitors end up doing either or both scuba diving and a boat charter.

These three Granitic Inner Islands encompass the entire population of the country, and Victoria on Mahe is the main city and capital. It is also a very happening place with a hot nightlife, and plenty of other urban pleasures including shopping and dining. Needless to say, there are plenty of very fine hotels here.

Visitors can find many resorts sprinkled all over the islands, and some are on the main tourist-friendly islands mentioned above. Other resorts may be the only human encampment on islands otherwise completely uninhabited, and accessible by boat or a small private airstrip used only by resort guests and staff.

Those planning on heading out to sea on a boat charter for deep sea fishing, sailing or other activities are advised to plan in advance. There are many options, including catamarans which take tour groups out to sea for a half or full day trip. It can be big game or deep sea fishing, and also involve activities like island hopping, bird watching, snorkeling, swimming with sea turtles, etc.

Another option is a live in boat charter for scuba diving. It’s no secret that Seychelles is one of the top 10 dive areas in the world, with a spellbinding collection of coral reefs and crystal clear waters swarming with all kinds of exotic marine life. Plus there are some very interesting ship wrecks that can also be examined. It’s a popular enough activity that many resorts have their own dive shops where guests can rent gear and take scuba diving lessons from pros.

The there main islands – Mahe, Praslin and La Digue, have some very safe and well developed dive spots for the ordinary visitor interested in scuba diving. Adventurers seeking bigger thrills can dive into the deep underwater cliffs near more isolated spots like Denis Island. The best time for scuba diving is during April & May and October & November, when visibility is optimum.

Summing up all this knowledge into a paragraph of Seychelles travel advice, the most important thing is to plan for everything. Book accommodations beforehand and create a very specific itinerary. The two most important things to do here, other than the beaches, are scuba diving and fishing/ boat charters.
