Island hopping made simple: transfers, ferries and practical island know-how.
Checking the sky…
Most Seychelles trips start on Mahé and hop on to Praslin and La Digue. This guide covers the travel authorisation, leaving the airport by taxi, bus or hire car, paying for buses, ferries and short flights between islands, getting connected, money, and how to stay safe in the sea. Every fact links to its source, with the date we last checked it.
