Island Hopping In Seychelles
A great way to discover Seychelles is by Island Hopping. It is usually advisable to spend a few days on each of the main islands; Mahé, Praslin and La Digue as well as heading out to some of the smaller and uninhabited islands. This is because each Island has its own charm, its own story & it is unique in a special way.
Mahé Island
Mahé is 28 km long and the largest of the 115 Seychelles islands. With almost 72.000 inhabitants, it’s home to roughly 90 percent of the total population of the Seychelles.
Mahé is also the location of the city of Victoria, the smallest capital city in the world. The island is suitable for all who desire a variety of entertainment options due to Mahe’s very animated nature as well as having the largest selection of accommodations among the islands. It’s a good idea to make Mahé the last stop of your island hopping journey.
Praslin Island
It’s the second largest island. Often called the “Garden of Eden”, the island contains many of the most beautiful beaches on the Seychelles. Due to the small size of Praslin and the easy to use bus network, there’s no need to shell out money for a rental car.
La Digue
It is the smallest and the one with the slowest and most relaxing pace of the three main islands of the Seychelles. If you’re searching for silence or nature tours, then search no further than La Digue. There are no busses, only a few cars (which are taxis) and virtually no street lights. The only thing you need is a bike and which can be rented at your accommodation or at the port.
The most convenient options for hopping between are the inner islands: Silhouette, Mahe, Praslin and La Digue, as well as their smaller neighbours Round, Cerf and Felicite.
