Hi,

We are coming to Mahe Praslin La Digue and Mahe again and we were wondering were to rent snorkeling equipments.

What would be the best option? Renting every time we need it directly near the beaches ? Renting in the first day in mahe and keeping it with us for the whole trip?

Any ideas of the prices?

Thanks!

Thinking about going on a day trip tomorrow to Praslin and La digue. The problem is that we have a 6 month old baby. Would you do the trip or is it dangerous on the boat?

We would go on a smaller tour boat and not the ferry. We are thinking about going with Mamila charter, anyone have any past experiences with them?

Hi, we are a gay couple currently on Mahe until the 9th of february and I wanted to see whether there are any Deaf/Hard of Hearing people on Reddit here? My boyfriend is Deaf and I am hearing, we communicate through Swedish Sign Language but my boyfriend is fluent in many Sign Languages including International Sign Language.

We would love to meet new people, feel free to reach out if you’d like to meet with us! 😊🤟🏻

Anyone know how to get in contact with Leo, owner of Leo's Bar on long island? I'd like to go on a day trip to long island in July!

It points to market frictions; a lack of regional integration and credit; declining foreign investment; and limited infrastructure and electricity supply while mentioning Ethiopia, Ivory Coast, Mauritius, and a few other bright spots.

Overall, I think it did a decent job of providing an overview of African growth and development, with implications both for business and policy. However, I wish it spoke more to trade (both within and beyond the continent). And I wish it also had an article on differences between various countries in Africa.

Even though I am not a regular Economist reader, I very much enjoyed reading this report because of my interest in Africa.

Does this report ring true for Seychelles as well? Anything to add? I'd love to hear people's opinions.

URGENT: I need 2 tickets of Coco ferry from Mahe to Praslin for tomorrow (27th Jan), preferably 10 AM. If not 10 AM, then 4 PM. I am unable to book online (as the window closes 48 hours prior to the departure), and also today being Sunday, they are not accepting calls. I can go to Victoria to book off-line, but I’m not sure if they would be open today. Can I directly go to the terminal at 9 AM tomorrow and get tickets on the spot? Some suggestions would be highly appreciated. Thank you 🙏🏻

I can also consider private charters for ferry or helicopters. Please suggest.

Hi guys, There is this guy on Mahe that owns a fruit bat and let’s you feed it for some rupees. My girlfriend got bitten by it while giving it some food. We’re a bit freaked out since bats are known to be disease carriers. Should we be worried? On the other hand, some locals in Seychelles supposedly eat them so I guess the bats here should be fine? Can anyone advise, please? Are fruit bats in Seychelles dangerous? Thanks for any info!

My fiance and I are looking into coming to Seychelles for part of our honeymoon after a bit of time on safari in Kenya. We’d be looking at 5 nights the second week of September. I’m a bit worried though about weather- particularly the trade winds making things not swimmable? Our favorite things to do are snorkel, swim, we also enjoy hiking and other chill nature related things. We were thinking of staying mainly on La Digue and doing day trip to Praslin and perhaps some of the other smaller islands. Can anyone share their experience/knowledge about this? If we love to snorkel and swim, will we be disappointed visiting in September?

Kinda making a last minute Itinerary for short Seychelles visit. Does it make sense to spend a day in Mahe (day of departure) as I didn't really see much to do there (beaches appear better in Praslin), or just stick with Praslin and a day visit to La Digue

TY

Title

Will be in Seychelles for a short stay.

Which tour itinerary is recommended?

1. Full Day Sister, Coco, Felicite, Curieuse and St Pierre island?

2. Half day Curieuse and St Pierre island?

Is option 1 overkill with more of just the same?

And should I book these tours in advance or cheaper once im at the island?

TY

Tomorrow im going to La Digue for a one-day trip. I’ll be with my girlfriend (30 yo like me )and we will rent 2 bikes. Suggest me the best way to explore and relax there. If somebody is there, please type me the best beach (good for snorkeling in these days… no big Waves please… flat sea).

My flight comes in late and I’m scared I will not be able to find a reasonable transfer from the airport to wherever we stay. We have 3 nights on this island. Can someone please rank MAHE island luxury hotels. None that require a helicopter or boat ride to get to. I personally have done some research and to me the four seasons is the obvious #1. Please give me your personal top 3 resorts/hotels/villas. Also, I am a foodie so I need the hotel to have good food. I’m not interested in buffets.

I'm planning to visit Seychelles in summer i want to know how good snorkelling conditions are there. I have heard that the reefs are getting destroyed by the climate change. Are the reefs still good compared to nearby countries? (Tanzania, Maldives, Mauritius etc) and is there any map showing the major reefs?

I am traveling to Seychelles in 3 days and the forecast says it's going to rain the whole week. Is someone there now? How is the weather? Should I expect at least some sunshine? Thanks!!

Hi, travelling to Seychelles in November. Looking to split our time 50:50 across 2 or 3 islands, starting with Mahe. Looking for accommodation recommendations (mid-range). Welcome any local restaurant recommendations and activities! We are adventurous, so looking forward to hiking, snorting, golfing etc. Can’t wait to visit.

Visiting the Seychelles in March/April and want to know what food to eat and places to eat it. Best dishes, takeaway, restaurants etc. cheers!

Hey guys, I and my fiancée will be visiting Seychelles from Jan 25th to Feb 7th and we were wondering if anyone was planning a helicopter ride during that period.

We see that regardless of us just being 2 people, the booking will be made for 4 persons and its about 500 euros for 4.

If anyone is interested in a ride around that time, please reach out to me and we can share the cost.

Thanks 🙏🏽

What's the average rent for a house/apartment close to Victoria?

Please advise for places/beaches/activities to cover in:

1. Mahe, total 2 nights (Booked Canopy By Hilton)
2. Praslin, total 4 nights, including La Digue- maybe 2 nights, we will travel from Praslin and return same evening (Booked Paradise Sun Hotel, in Praslin)

Thanks in advance. This is my honeymoon trip.

Hi, I decided to book a trip to Seychelles in mid September for 10 nights (12-22). We plan to stay on Praslin and La Digue. When I started reading more and more about the weather I started to have doubts. I don't expect clear skies every day but it would be nice to have a few nice days there, I can still postpone this trip to October. Can anyone share their opinion on this? How was your stay in September on these beautiful islands?

Thanks in advance :)

Will 10 days at La Digue work or will we get bored? Me and the wife without the kids!

I’ve booked place to live but I can change if that’s to long. We like to run, train and chill in the sun. I work a lot and want to use this vacation to fill my energy with me and us time.

Are there any gyms or parks to train at this island?

All input is welcome. Thanks in advance

Hi everyone, I need your advise on buying an eSim.

I need an eSim for 5 months. I think I need at least 10 gb since wifi is not provided where I am staying. Can you advise me which provider is best, where to buy?

I'm an expat and I will need to open a bank account soon. I hear that Nuovobanq is the best, however I noticed that Absa has more ATMs, especially outside town.

I'm based in Takamaka and I need an account only to keep my money. Should I go for Absa?
