Getting around the Seychelles
Inter-island flights are operated by Air Seychelles. A number of ferry and catamaran companies offer trips between the main islands of Mahé, Praslin and La Digue and are far cheaper than flying.
On the islands of Mahé and Praslin an extensive bus service operates, fares are cheap and services frequent. For flexibility, hire a car. Drivers must be over 23-years-old. On the island of La Digue, bicycles are the principal form of transport.
Seychelles accommodation
The Seychelles has a wide range of accommodation options. There are of course the ultra plush and ultra expensive resorts, but you can also find cheaper guesthouses and self-catering apartments. Camping is forbidden anywhere on the islands.
Seychelles food & drink
The staples are fish and rice. It goes without saying the seafood is fresh and delectable. Lobster, crab, octopus and a huge array of fish are gilled, steamed, salted, baked, smoked, minced and the list goes on.
The islands also have a large variety of tropical fruit including mango, banana, papaya and crambole. Fruit juices are popular. The local beer is Seybrew. Also try the palm wine calou.
