People on Source d'Argent beach, with a bright blue sky and turquoise water in the Seychelles

Check out the world’s top-rated beaches and you’ll find the Seychelles making the cut time and time again.

It’s no secret the Seychelles is the ultimate paradise, but you can still find a piece of island nirvana away from the crowds. Take island hopping to the next level by cruising between the white sandy coastlines, sampling Creole cuisine, and dropping anchor in the perfect spot to plunge into crystal-clear waters. The Seychelles is described as the   Galapagos  of the Indian Ocean, with its diverse marine habitats. On our Seychelles tours, you can meet an old giant tortoise; snorkel along coral reefs surrounded by tropical fish, and hike through mangrove forests to see rare (unusually-shaped) coconut trees while spotting species of squawking parrots above.

Culture and history.

It’s hard to believe Seychelles were uninhabited for centuries, except for the odd ship stopping in, as the islands were found by explorers traversing ancient trade routes in the Indian Ocean. One of the first known records of the archipelago was by Arab traders in 851 AD. The land remained without a permanent settlement for centuries until the French, having already established colonies on Mauritius and Reunion, made claim to Seychelles in 1756, ruling for nearly 50 years before the British took over during the Napoleonic Wars. The nation gained independence at the start of the twentieth century. Due to its intermingled history, you’ll find a harmonious diversity throughout Seychelles with the population largely being of African, French, Indian, and Chinese descent. Catholicism is the most widely followed religion (80 percent of the population), followed by Islam, Hinduism, and a mix of local beliefs. Although the nation has a more recent history of British colonization, Creole influences still strongly exist today – through the arts, the food, and the language.

Eating and drinking

The Seychelles hold a tantalizing fusion of cuisines, mirroring the diverse cultural influences found throughout the islands. Not surprisingly, seafood is a major staple in local dishes, and you’ll find super fresh local ingredients like barracuda, tuna, or octopus blended with a variety of spices. Rice, coconut milk, and curry are the foundation flavors across most of the seafood, vegetarian, and various meat dishes you’ll find on offer. An abundance of tropical fruit is grown locally on the islands with the most common being papaya, mangoes, bananas, and the versatile breadfruit – also found in many Seychellois meals.

Must-try dishes of the Seychelles

1. Caris masala

 A typical spiced curry served with a combination of seafood or vegetables – with a mixture of cumin, fenugreek, cloves, saffron, coriander, and mustard seeds. 

2.   Fruit bat   curry

Yep, that’s right. It’s a traditional meal that still holds a place at some of the longstanding restaurant establishments around the islands. 

3. Shark chutney

A typical dish found in the Seychelles – made with boiled shark meat that has been finely mashed and mixed with onion, pepper, salt, and turmeric, with fresh lime juice squeezed over the top. 

4. Banana in coconut milk

A large ripe banana cooked in coconut milk and sugar – absolutely delicious. This is a popular local dessert and a must-try in the Seychelles. 

Geography and environment

You can find 115 islands in the archipelago of Seychelles, located about 2,300 kilometers (1,430 miles) east of Tanzania in the Indian Ocean – part of the African continent. The three main islands attracting visitor numbers are Mahe, Praslin, and La Digue. Seychelles holds a spectacularly diverse number of tropical plants, standouts being the carnivorous pitcher plant and rare species of palm known as coco de mar or ‘the sea coconut’. There are two types of islands – granitic and coralline – the latter located in the outer islands and made largely of, as the name suggests, coral reefs. The landscape is lush and full of tropical plants throughout the archipelago, with frangipanis found flowering along the white sandy coast and wild orchids lining the winding rivers deep inside the rainforest. Bird lovers are prepared: Seychelle warblers, magpie robins, species of heron, and egrets, among many other species, call the Seychelles home. You can also find giant tortoises older than a century and marine national parks harboring whale sharks, sea turtles, and a variety of tropical fish species.

Seychelles is bursting with traditional souvenirs and handicrafts, with batik clothing, woven baskets, painted fabrics, and all kinds of colorful jewelry found mostly in bustling markets. Go to Sir Selwyn Clarke market in the center of Victoria for quirky souvenirs and to see locals shopping for fresh produce. For the biggest selection of wares in Seychelles, head to the main island of Mahe where you’ll find art galleries, handmade arts and crafts, locally sourced body products, and ceramic pottery. Bargaining is not part of the culture of Seychelles, and prices are generally fixed. However, if you feel the price is high for an item in the market you can try to slightly negotiate.

Festivals and events

Semaine de la francophonie.

Taking place on the island of Mahe every year in March, this week-long festival celebrates the past and existing influences of French culture in the Seychelles. Featuring art exhibitions, French music, and a tasty array of French-inspired cuisine. 

Carnaval International de Victoria (October)

This is by far the biggest party the Seychelles has on offer. Held over three days with parades, live music, costumes, and everything else that brings together a hip-shaking carnival!  

Seychelles Ocean Festival (December)

A festival dedicated to all things underwater, this event involves photography competitions, guest speakers, events, and showcasing diving and snorkeling spots throughout the Seychelles. 

Creole Festival (October)

Celebrating Creole culture in the Seychelles is an important part of recognizing the nation’s history and heritage. As part of the event, a traditional Seychellois wedding is held, with funky exhibitions and performances. 

The Feast of the Assumption of Mary (15 August)

A significant day of recognition throughout the islands with a dedicated public holiday held every year on 15 August. Locals travel to the main festival held on the island of La Digue, involving a church mass and parade through the streets. 

Further reading

Seychelles travel faqs, do i need a covid-19 vaccine to join an intrepid trip.

Trips from 1 January 2023 onwards

From 1 January 2023, Intrepid will no longer require travelers to provide proof of vaccination against COVID-19 (excluding all Polar trips and select adventure cruises).

However, we continue to strongly recommend that all Intrepid travelers and leaders get vaccinated to protect themselves and others.

Specific proof of testing or vaccination may still be required by your destination or airline. Please ensure you check travel and entry requirements carefully.

Do I need a visa to travel to the Seychelles?

Travelers do not require a visa to enter Seychelles. However, you must hold an onward ticket, have confirmed accommodation, and have sufficient funds for the duration of your stay. Entry requirements for Seychelles can change at any time, so it's important that you check the Seychelles government website or your nearest Seychelles consulate for the latest visa information specific to your nationality. You can also find further visa information in the Essential Trip Information section of your chosen itinerary.

Is tipping customary in the Seychelles?

Tipping is up to the individual when traveling in Seychelles. In restaurants, a service charge of between five to ten percent is often added to the bill so you will not be expected to leave an additional tip. If you receive excellent service, a little generosity can go a long way considering the low wages of those working in the hospitality industry.

Are you expected to tip while on the trip?

On the adventure cruise, tips are included for the ship crew and hospitality staff. This amount does not include a tip for your tour leader, so you may wish to set aside some funds for this.

If you are happy with the services of your trip leader and wish to tip, EUR 2–4 per passenger per day is an appropriate amount. It is of great significance to the people who take care of you during your travels.

What is the internet access like in the Seychelles?

Many hotels and some restaurants and cafes offer Wi-Fi. Free Wi-Fi hotspots are found in some public areas in the capital of Victoria, Beau Vallon and Anse Royale on the main island.

Can I use my cell phone while in the Seychelles?

There is cell reception on Mahe, Praslin, La Digue, North Island, Fregate Island, and Silhouette Island. Many foreign mobile services have coverage in the Seychelles, but roaming fees are high. You can purchase a local sim card for the network providers Cable & Wireless Seychelles (CWS) or Air.

What are the toilets like in the Seychelles?

Western-style flushable toilets are available on adventure cruises. You will also find flushable toilets in hotels and restaurants throughout the Seychelles. Public toilets are difficult to find outside the main beaches of Victoria. 

What will it cost on the islands for a…?

Small bottle of soft drink = EUR 1   Beer in a bar or restaurant = EUR 2.5  Simple lunch = EUR 5   Three-course meal = EUR 50

Can I drink the water in the Seychelles?

Drinking tap water isn't recommended in the Seychelles. For environmental reasons, try to avoid buying bottled water. Instead, fill a reusable water bottle or canteen with filtered water. Ask your leader where filtered water can be found – some places you stay may have drinking water available.

Are credit cards widely accepted in the Seychelles?

The euro is the standard currency onboard adventure cruises. Visa, Mastercard and American Express are all accepted for settling your ship board account. It is wise to travel with sufficient cash (in local currency) to pay for shopping on the island and for incidentals such as shipboard items, airport taxes and taxis.

Major credit cards are usually accepted by large hotels and western-style restaurants throughout the Seychelles. Ensure you have adequate cash to cover purchases where credit is unavailable.

What is ATM access like in the Seychelles?

ATM facilities exist at major banks in Mahe, Praslin, and La Digue but will dispense Seychelles Rupees only. Foreign currency can be changed at banks or authorized bureau de change only. It is a criminal offense to change money with unauthorized persons. Credit cards are widely accepted throughout the Seychelles. 

What public holidays are celebrated in the Seychelles?

Is the Seychelles a safe destination for LGBTQI-travellers?

For LGBTQI travelers visiting the Seychelles, there’s little to worry about but some discretion is advised with open displays of affection as there is no openly gay or lesbian scene in the country. 

For more detailed and up-to-date advice, we recommend visiting   Equaldex   or   Smartraveller   before you travel.

Do I need to purchase travel insurance before traveling?

Absolutely. All passengers traveling with Intrepid are required to purchase travel insurance before the start of their trip.

Due to the virtually untouched nature of the park, the trail may be a little bumpy so make sure to pack your hiking gear to trek the natural trail.

The national park has a ton of beautiful viewpoints from different parts, including the end of the Glacis Noire trail, where you can catch a glimpse of the famous Seychelles Black Parrot, a bird native to this island that resides in this park.

Another sight not to miss is the outstanding Praslin National Park Waterfall, surrounded by leafy palm trees, and a fresh mist to cool off during your hike.

Kayak with a group of travelers, taking turns looking above at the wild birds, and below at the clear water and fish.

Looking for some fun that also exercises the body? Look into Sup’ing (stand-up paddleboarding) where you’ll stand on a paddleboard, paddling your way through the clear waters, while exercising your core strength and balance.

How to get to Seychelles?

Typically there are no direct flights from the U.S. or Europe to Seychelles, therefore common layovers are done in London or the Middle East.

Regardless of the island that you’re flying into, all international flights land at the Seychelles International Airport (SEZ) on Mahé Island, and from there, you can take domestic flights throughout the archipelago or ferries depending on your island destination.

As far as transportation goes, you can take the public bus which will take you from the airport to Victoria – the capital city, however, it is not always reliable and can take a bit longer to arrive at your hotel.

The most recommended form of transportation is to book an airport transfer so that you have someone waiting for you when you arrive and can take you right to the door of your accommodations, and faster.

Where to stay in Seychelles?

Snag a room at the Villa Panoramic Seaview hotel in Victoria, the capital city of Mahé Island, where you’ll enjoy choosing between stunning sea or garden views from your private terrace. Or wake up to the sound of the island birds as you glance up to see the beautiful mountains and beach outside your window when you stay at Hilltop Boutique Hotel in Victoria on Mahé Island.

Located on Grand’Anse Beach on Praslin Island are the beautiful Ocean Jewels accommodations, which have been ranked highly for their closeness to the airport (5-minute drive) and the beach.  Sunset Cove Villa is another wonderful option to stay right on Grand’Anse Beach on Praslin Island, where you’ll have a bright and airy room with a light breeze coming in directly from the Indian Ocean.

Have you ever wanted to stay in an island bungalow? Now’s your chance at Island Bungalow on La Digue Island, where you’ll be only a few minutes away from some of the most coveted beaches like Anse Severe Beach and Anse Patates Beach. Perfect for families or couples, check out Mountain View Hotel on La Digue Island where families can enjoy the proximity to Anse La Reunion Beach and the private terrace looking out to the ocean.

Looking for more tropical island getaways?

Consider checking out the other paradise islands of Mauritius, the Maldives, and the Bahamas , specifically all the things to do in Nassau from enjoying a delectable food tour to exploring historical forts, and much more.

Hawaii is another dreamy island destination to consider, especially the things to do in Oahu , Maui , Kauai , and Big Island , each brimming with incredible natural landscapes and local culture.

Lastly, French Polynesia is a must-see lovely island to visit, especially all the things to do in Bora Bora , from sailing on a catamaran to checking out the Tahiti Pearl Market, and more.

Final thoughts

With its pristine clear blue waters, the magical marine life that lives under the surface of the Indian Ocean, and its incredible bird-watching opportunities, there’s no end to the wildlife opportunities that will take your breath away in Seychelles.

Learning about the fascinating historical sights like the coconut plantations, and observing the remnants of French colonial architecture, while feeling the tangible Creole culture will make you agree that visiting Seychelles is truly like visiting “Another World” as their tourism slogan claims.

We hope you enjoyed our list of fun and unusual things to do in Seychelles, and that you got more than just a few ideas to add to your Seychelles bucket list. Check out our full catalog of tours in Seychelles and have a lot of fun.
