How to Spend a Week in Seychelles

This week-long Seychelles schedule presumes you will be having a rental car, if you do not, you can always head to almost all of these tourist sites by taxi, bus, or joining a tour. Nothing to worry about! Without further ado, let' take a look at how your trip to Seychelles will shape! Make a careful note of all the attractions and activities!

Day 1: Mahe

Mahe is the most populous island in this archipelago and is the archipelago's biggest granitic island. Although this island is just around seventeen miles long, we believe that spending 3 nights here at the beginning of your Seychelles vacation will allow you to visit many of the attractions and gorgeous beaches. So, after checking into your hotel and unwinding for a while, pick up your rental vehicle, and perhaps drive to one of the island's beaches to kick off your vacation in style.

Day 2: Mahe

The vibrant central market, as well as the town's clock tower, are two of the city's highlights. If you want to understand more about the distinctive flora and fauna here, there is also a fascinating natural history museum. Drive the mountain route called the Sans Souci from Victoria to get a different point of view of the island. This route winds its way high into the mountains, with a variety of sights to see along the way. Hikers will enjoy the moderately tough Capolia hike, which requires 90 minutes - 2 hours based on fitness. Port Launay, Grand Anse, and Baie Ternay are just a few of the popular attractions along this stretch of coast you can visit after. Besides, if you’re looking for accommodation, you can always check out a beach resort in Seychelles the likes of Anantara Maia Seychelles Villas.

Day 3: Mahe

Exploring the south side offers plenty of things to see and do. The “Craft Village” should be the first destination on your trip. This is a town located on a historic plantation where local artisans make a variety of goods for sale. Afterwards, take a 3-minute ride to the Takamaka Rum Distillery, which produces the islands' most famous rum called the Takamaka rum. Tours are offered twice a day (though timings tend to fluctuate, so contact to confirm) and are reasonably priced, plus they include a sample of all the different types of rum! Then, it'll be time to continue south from here to see more of this beautiful section of Mahe. We strongly advise visiting several of the three beaches in this area – Anse Petite Police, Anse Bazarca, and Anse Grand Police. Due to their remote position, they receive relatively few visitors (except locals on weekends!), and you may truly realise the fantasy of having your own private white sand paradise beach. Just pay attention to the warning signs about the currents, since swimming here during certain times of the year might be harmful.

Day 4: Praslin

Take a full day tour to Praslin and you will see the spectacular Vallee de Mai and one of the world's greatest beaches. This is a UNESCO world heritage site and the island's main tourist attraction. The enormous Coco de Mer palm, another of Seychelles' most distinctive indigenous species, thrives here.

Day 5: Praslin

Take a boat trip to several of the islands near Praslin. We believe that seeing some of the smaller islands is a vital component of any vacation to Seychelles because the archipelago contains over 100+ islands, and each one of them is unique and distinctive.

Day 6: La Digue

La Digue has a distinct personality from the other islands you've seen thus far. Most tourists get about by bicycle or on foot because there are few automobiles. This island isn't very large and cycling from one end to the other takes around 30 minutes, but it contains a lot of attractions that make it worthwhile to visit.

Day 7: La Digue and a swift return to Mahe

On Day 7, we recommend returning to Mahe - you may take a ferry straight from La Digue, taking about an hour and a half total. Of course, whether you depart in the morning or evening is entirely up to you.
