Taxis are readily available on all islands but can be costly. Renting bicycles, especially on La Digue Island, is an eco-friendly and unique way to explore the islands. A 7-day island hopper pass for ferries will cost around $225.

Useful Tips

If you have more time, add snorkeling at Sainte Anne National Marine Park, Sunset Catamaran Cruise along the coast of Mahe, or a helicopter island tour. But if you have less time, skip La Digue Island. It is important to remember that Seychelles is generally an expensive holiday destination, so it is essential to plan your itinerary accordingly.

Airports

The primary international airport of Seychelles is Seychelles International Airport (SEZ), located approximately 7 miles from Mahe Island. Once you land, you can easily reach Mahe Island by taxis or buses, making it an ideal first stop for your Seychelles honeymoon.
