Getting there and between the islands

One international airport, a fifteen-minute domestic flight and a ferry that ties it together. The rest is scheduling.

Flights to Seychelles

All international flights land on Mahé, at Seychelles International Airport. A direct flight from central Europe takes about ten hours; most connections, however, run via the Gulf hubs.

Domestic flights between the islands

The domestic flight from Mahé to Praslin takes about fifteen minutes and is the fastest link between the two islands. The catch is baggage: the allowance is markedly lower than on the international flight.

Between the islands by ferry

The ferry links Mahé, Praslin and La Digue several times a day: about an hour from Mahé to Praslin, then roughly fifteen minutes on to La Digue. It costs less than the flight and takes normal luggage without argument.

The airport on Mahé

Seychelles International Airport sits on Mahé, a few kilometres south of Victoria, and is the country's only international airport. It is small: from the aircraft to the door rarely takes long.

Before you book

Three islands in seven nights?

It is the most common mistake in Seychelles. Every island change costs half a day, and the transfer days land in the middle of the trip. One conversation beforehand prevents it.
