Seychelles Island Hopping

Seychelles Sailing or Island Hopping by Air

To visit the Seychelles without seeing more than just one island is almost a crime. They are all so different. So, what better way than by sailing around Seychelles from the comfort of a luxury catamaran or custom built sailing yacht. Alternatively, why not island hop by air, choosing from simple 2-island combinations or multi-island itineraries? The choice is almost limitless, but we will gladly offer our advice and expert knowledge of the Seychelles to put together an itinerary that matches your requirements.

Island Cruising

With our Cruise and Stay itineraries you get the best of both worlds, staying pre and/or post cruise in the hotel of your choice plus cruising the islands. 4 nights on a luxury catamaran takes you around the islands close to Mahé, stopping off at Anse Lazio, one of the world's most stunning beaches, visiting the bird sanctuary on Cousine island and dropping anchor at Coco Island for excellent snorkelling.

Or, for the more adventurous, why not spend 7 nights sailing on a lovely, modern 3-masted schooner around either the inner islands or Aldabra in the Southern Islands - the 'Galagapos of the Indian Ocean'? (Operates March and April only). Prices available on request.

Island Hopping by Air

This is the quickest way to see more of the fabulous Seychelles. Plus, you get to experience some stunning and memorable views! You can quite easily do two islands in a week, or more if you are staying longer.

Important points to consider when planning an Island-Hopping itinerary

If you are planning an island hopping holiday, please bear in mind that all inter-island flights operate from Mahé. Thus, to fly from Praslin to Bird for example, you must make a connection through Mahé. The islands of Praslin and Bird are served daily from Mahé. Denis also has daily flights. La Digue is served daily by ferry from Praslin. The islands of Cousine and Fregate are served by chartered helicopter.

Please note that most inter-island flights are operated by small aircraft, often with around 20 seats. As a result luggage space is restricted and baggage allowance is restricted to 10kgs or 15kgs per person on some flights. Excess baggage may, however, be left at the main airport on Mahé. We therefore recommend you travel light, particularly to the smaller outlying islands. Timetables can also vary due to weather conditions. last, but not least, it may also be necessary to spend the first and/or last night of your holiday on Mahé to allow for international flight connections.
