My dad and I went there back in 2019 when I was still really young but I enjoyed the experience a lot. I had never been that far away from home before. The flight tickets were very experience but the living and the food is pretty cheap if you live in a local bnb like we did and eat where the locals eat. The beaches are the prettiest you'll see in your entire life and the wildlife is also really cool. There are huge turtles everywhere and there are also fruitbats flying in the sky during the day...

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

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!

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 went to the Seychelles in May/June last year - it was incredible, like nowhere I have ever visited before. The food is amazing, the locals are so warm and friendly, I felt extremely safe. The culture is also amazing.

I traveled to Mahé in the summer as a solo traveler and it was amazing. I felt really safe, and the locals were nice and helpful. When I got confused with the bus schedule and got stuck in the rain a few kilometers from my resort, a maintenance worker gave me a lift. The prices were definitely high. Despite this, it was absolutely worth it.

I spent 4 nights on Mahe (it could also be 2-3), I really liked the island - both the beaches (I preferred them there than on Praslin, honestly speaking), and hiking (beautiful views). Beau Vallon was disappointing though (next to the Avani resort, where I stayed, is a beautiful beach, which for the 3 days I was there, was practically empty). Praslin was OK (2 days would be enough if you are on a tight schedule), but Le Digue was a real gem. I used Air Seychelles one way, ferry on the other and...

Traveling on a budget in Seychelles is easy, just book accommodation on Airbnb or hotels.com, find a place to cook your own meals, as eating out can be expensive. I recommend staying near Anse Volbert on Praslin - there are affordable eating options for those nights when you don't feel like cooking, the beach is quite nice, and bus access to Lazio (and walking to Georgette) is easy. If you want to go through Constance Lemuria, try to book a week in advance. There are also amazing hiking trails...

I stayed there for a month - in June on a diving expedition. Ferries and buses run quite regularly without any problems. Beau Vallon is stunning and nice to be there, it is vibrant with life. I lived in Cap Ternary, which is part of the marine park. There are plenty of cheap but beautiful places from Airbnb all over the islands. The botanical garden in Victoria is definitely worth a visit, but beyond that there isn't much to see. In summary, it was just beautiful and I had a wonderful time...
