Seychelles

If you are planning a trip to the Seychelles, you really have several questions to ask yourself like how much time you have, what islands you want to visit, and, breaking that down a little further, how much time to spend on each island.

While the ideal answer is “as much time as possible everywhere”, in reality that is hard to come by. So to really understand how many days you need in the Seychelles, we thought we’d help break down our thoughts on four of the most visited islands- Mahe, Praslin, La Digue, and Silhouette.

Although you can alter any of these based on your interests, we want to share what we think the absolute minimum amount of time is to do each of these islands justice.

If you’re visiting the Seychelles, odds are good you have visiting Anse Source d’Argent on your must-experience list. This beach, located on the tiny island of La Digue just off the east coast of Praslin, is one of the most beautiful beaches we’ve ever seen and has earned many accolades as being one of the best beaches in the world.

So you’ve decided you want to go, now what? You have a decision to make on whether you are going to stay overnight on La Digue or take a day trip from one of the nearby islands.

While we are firm advocates that staying overnight on La Digue is always the best choice (we have personally visited La Digue on a day trip on one trip and stayed a few nights on another ourselves), there may be some circumstances that may push you to take a day trip or even an organized day tour instead.

So, we thought we’d break down the options and points to consider in this one!

When it comes to deciding where to stay in the Seychelles, you have two real questions to answer.

First, what islands do you want to visit. Second, where do you want to stay on each island. For most, the four most popular choices of islands are Mahe, Praslin, La Digue, and Silhouette. When visiting, we always advocate checking out these islands, at a minimum, if you can justify it.

While each of these islands are, admittedly, incredibly small, such that travel on any given island is quite easy, there are some unique points to keep in mind about each.

Not being able to travel is rough. We get it. There is nothing fun about being stuck at home with no plans for the future.

To help things out, we’re publishing a virtual trip series where we share 15 of our favorite photos from a previous trip and share some of the backstories behind the images.

For our fourth entry, we’re traveling to Africa to explore the islands of the Seychelles- a country we explored for two weeks in 2018!
