Holidays in Seychelles in January are marked by the height of the rainy season. From time to time the ocean loses its azure appearance, greeting travelers with storms. Short but very heavy rains pour from the sky. But you should not worry much. There will be enough sunny days during your winter vacation in Seychelles, and you will surely be able to swim too.
However, the high humidity in January can make even the relatively moderate temperatures of +30-31°C quite challenging to endure. It's advisable to avoid stopping at Mahe and Silhouette, where strong winds and heavy rain are common during this time. Nonetheless, if you're an avid surfer, the island of Mahé, particularly Grand Anse Beach, offers great conditions for wintertime surfing enthusiasts.
Moreover, a tour of Seychelles in January provides the opportunity to witness sea turtles coming ashore to lay their eggs. While it's crucial not to disturb this important activity, you can observe from a distance with care. Additionally, winter is a good time to try your hand at blue marlin fishing.
Although January 1 and 2 are celebrated as New Year's Eve in Seychelles, the rest of the month doesn't have many special holidays. Nevertheless, the natural beauty of Seychelles itself is a celebration for any traveler. This is why prices for a Seychelles vacation in January don't tend to drop significantly, even during the wet season.
As of January, prices for tours to Seychelles in January start from 1700 EUR. You can rely on tripmydream to help you find a Seychelles winter tour that suits your budget.
