Seychelles, Family travel

It was beautiful but you can’t walk around alone. I was touched and followed. I had my sister always by my side and she is travel experienced. But the nature and the food was beautiful and it was a great experience

Seychelles Islands, Couple travel

I felt safe when i was with my boyfriend! Without him, I think I would not have felt safe! The food was really good, but don’t go to any restaurants- its way too expensive. There are many kind of foodtrucks with homemade food!

Seychelles Islands, Solo travel

I visited Seychelles for around 10 days, 6 nights in mahe, 3 nights in La Digue. Upon landing in the airport I luckily hitched a ride from another solo traveler. Later found out that there are local buses running. I felt safe in general. The locals are friendly. The prices are quite high, but manageable if you stay in self catering and have takeaway food, I’d give the average of €75 a night and €20-30 a day for food. Transport is quite tricky if you don’t drive, the bus schedule is available. I’d encouraged buying the bus card at airport or rent a car. Taxis are at least €40 per ride to go anywhere
