Tips before you go

  • You enter the Seychelles without a visa, with a travel authorisation before you travel and a confirmed hotel booking.
  • The best times are April and May, and October and November, when the sea is calm.
  • Ferries link Mahé with Praslin and La Digue, so allow at least two days for each island.
