Visit Seychelles: Travel Guide

Seychelles Tourism Department

About this app

Visit Seychelles: Travel Guide is the official app of the Seychelles Tourism Board. Built for independent travellers, it brings together a practical travel guide, a holiday planner and an interactive map to help you organise the whole trip, for short breaks and longer holidays alike. Explore Mahé, Praslin, La Digue and beyond with reliable, locally verified tips.

Why travellers use the app:
- Trip planner: build your itinerary day by day and adjust it to your own pace.
- Interactive map: detailed place pages, directions to each site and ideas for what is nearby.
- Sights and beaches: highlights, suggested visiting times and nearby places to combine.
- Local tips: seasons and trade winds, transport basics, safety, culture and etiquette.
- Accommodation: where to stay on each island, from luxury hotels to Creole guesthouses, with links to official sites.
- Practical tools: real-time weather, a currency converter and airline information to help you plan your flight.

Discover the highlights of the Seychelles: Victoria's markets and the trails of Morne Seychellois National Park on Mahé, Beau Vallon and Anse Intendance, the Vallée de Mai and Anse Lazio on Praslin, and Anse Source d'Argent on La Digue, often named among the most photographed beaches in the world. Add day trips to nearby destinations such as Curieuse, Cousin, Aride, Silhouette, Denis and Bird Island, or a boat tour above the reefs of Sainte Anne Marine National Park, with turtles, snorkelling spots and light hikes along the way. With year-round sun, the islands suit beach holidays and quiet island escapes alike: match each island to your style, whether you are planning a honeymoon, a family holiday or a solo adventure. Torn between the beachfront hotels of Beau Vallon, a garden villa on Praslin or a guesthouse on La Digue? The place pages help you compare before you choose.

Before your trip:
Holidays in the Seychelles reward a little planning. Compare the islands, the seasons and your hotel options. Open the itinerary planner, sketch a first route and keep the official links to hand, including the eBorder entry authorisation. The app helps you research hotels, accommodation and flights; any booking then happens directly with the external provider. Health and packing tips help you get ready without stress.

During your trip:
Follow your itinerary on the interactive map, check the day's weather and convert currencies in seconds. On the islands, it works as a pocket guide and a local advisor: traveller notes from the ground point you to quiet corners and secret beaches, while a calendar of local events and activities shows what is on. Route ideas cover the journey between islands by ferry or on short inter-island flights, plus the transfer to your hotel and bike hire on La Digue.

Reliable information:
Content is prepared and checked by the archipelago's tourism professionals, working from the destination's official platform. Location is used to show your position and what is around you.

Start planning your Seychelles holiday: from hotel research to the daily itinerary, keep your travel ideas in one place, in the islands' official travel app.
