Seychelles Getting Around

Getting Around

By plane Air Seychelles operates multiple daily flights between Mahe and Praslin. Over two dozen flights vary in frequency from 15 minute to 2 hour intervals, depending on time of day. Air Seychelles also operates once daily or several times per week between Mahe and the islands of Bird, Denis, Fregate, Desroches and Alphonse. By Helicopter Helicopter Seychelles provides shuttles between the main islands Mahe, Praslin and La Digue as well as charter flights to/from most of the inner islands. Helicopter Seychelles is the only scenic flight operator in the Seychelles. Depending on the timeframe, these scenic flights cover the main islands of Mahé, Praslin, La Digue and the surrounding smaller islands of Cousine, Félicité, Grande Seour, Curieuse and Cousin. By bus An extensive bus service operates throughout Mahé and there's a limited service on Praslin. Mini Mokes are the hire cars in the Seychelles - they often have some sort of mechanical defect and they're no protection from the elements but they're pretty appropriate for conditions on the islands. Most of the roads on Mahé are sealed but other drivers can be a bit of a danger. Taxis run on Mahé, Praslin, and La Digue and fares are set by the government. By bicycle There are plenty of bicycles for hire on Praslin and La Digue but you'll be lucky to get hold of one on Mahé. Walking is a dandy way to get around most of the islands - the traffic is light distances are short and the scenery is lovely. By car Having a car is really a good idea. It is easier to find a good view point. You can only rent on Mahé and Praslin. You can find a car for only 45E per day.
